Explanation:
A loyal fan of a radio station is a person who will always tune in, no matter what.

Occassional listeners versus loyal listeners.

I think you mean 'propel' rather than 'proper' later on in the sentence.

"The popularity of our existing programmes, our loyal listeners and the attraction of our new programmes will propel Radio XX to pole position in this market"

...something along those lines.
Good existing programmes
Loyal listeners
Attractive new items

= no.1 spot in listening figures!

regular listeners

Explanation:
If this is a radio station, then the loyal fans are the regular listeners. "Loyal fan following" is a collective term for these fans ("fan" originally comes form "fanatic").
