Are you sure it wasn't Michael Ryan in the newsroom Matt Cooper wished him all the best at 4.30 news.

Mossy Monk

So long Moychael McMowllen

I wont miss him anyway

irish_bob

i think he wasnt that bad , he was over demonised , anyone who thinks his accent is annoying obviously never listened to the business news on morning ireland with umma mocknomarra

Michael Ryan is too confrontational?

(Ryan is leaving, McMullen is not. Well, not that anyone knows of, anyway.)

If that's so, it's a pity. Michael Ryan's a lot easier on the ears.

Great presenter. good show the Premier league live. He has an accent, so what.

thewholehogge

Anybody know where he is going?

Birneybau

Well, seeing as yours is the first reply in 6 years, I'm sure he is where he was going by now.

So Michael McMullen didn't leave 6 years ago. But I did hear Ian Dempsey say this morning that Michael has left & they are looking for new talent to take over. Then he played an ad with Anton Savage advertising the position. If he is staying in sport then the next move would be into TV Ashe did present the Sports flagship program every Saturday on Premiership Live.
So my suggestions is TV3 for the rugby world cup or taking over from Tom McGurk on RTE's rugby panel which won't be on telly though until the 6 Nations.
That's unless he is gone into a different role completely.

NIMAN

So is he leaving or what !!

Michael McMullen doing RTE's Six Nations coverage in Tom McGurk's place? Are you having a laugh?

I am just throwing suggestions out there. I really dunno. Heard Rule Nugent talk to Ray Darcy the other day & no names yet for McGurks replacement.

Birneybau

Fair enough. He's not big enough in my opinion.

I was thinking that too but do you really need a big name? You want someone who can bring the panel together & mix the talk well. Off topic but who would be big enough? I think the loss of the World Cup is not pushing pressure on RTE to get a big named presenter & once they still get the big named pundits (O'Gara & Horgan among others) then a well rounded presenter is needed.

Well he's got the accent but he's more of a soccer guy isn't he? I'd guess Setanta or Rte sport to do football probably

Why, how tall was McGurk and does that matter as he'd be sitting down

Anybody know why today fm have done away with the phone in show? Was it related to Michael mcmullen leaving? Have to say I preferred him as a presenter. Thought it went a bit tabloid the past couple of years.

robo

I thought that it was due to the fact that Johnny Lyons (who presented it betwee 5pm & 6pm) last year, passed away?

I didn't get to listen to all the premier league coverage this season so far but noticed the weekend before his death that there was no phone in either. Hence the question.

I remember a woman who did impressions rang in to Ray years ago, and of course she had to do her "Hoi, moi name is Moichael MACKMullen"

Ah I didn't realise that - I used to like the Phone in part of the show, especially when they kept Brian Kerr on to chat too.

yeah I thought it was a good segment. That's why I'm wondering did they cancel it prior to Lyons's death and if so why. Didn't seem to be on the weekend before as I remember turning over to get the phone in but was just music. Maybe Lyons had to cancel last minute for some reason.

Despite his accent I thought Michael did a good job on the phone in. I found Lyons a bit too tabloid as I posted earlier.

Chip Whitley

Johnny Lyons was off work before his death due to a broken ankle I believe, but you'd imagine they'd have someone just fill in that first week and until he recovered if they were actually keeping the segment this season.

Didn't know that. Would have thought so. Seemed to be a successful slot over the years. Maybe newstalk have eaten into it in recent times. There was a time it was the only place to get any sort of decent premier league coverage.

Any idea who's replacing McMullan? I know Philip Egan was hosting Premier League Live on Saturday just gone but I haven't heard anything apart from that...

They advertised the job on Today FM.

Chip Whitley

Where did Michael McMullan go to? Is he still in sports media?

Good riddance to a bad exaggerated accent.

He's got the accent??? The accent of a begrudger who thinks that sounding as english as possible will bring him wealth and status and women and fame! And then practices this accent with spuds in his mouth.

He was doing the voice-over on champions league highlights after the match on TV3 last week, so I'm assuming he has joined their sports team.

JoeA3

Yeah I heard him doing the voice over on TV3's CL highlights package - a bit like the likes of Peter Collins does for RTE!
Presumably he's joined TV3 then in advance of their Rugby WC coverage or perhaps he's in some freelance role. Either way his voice remains as irritating as ever - IMO.

A band called Noah and the Whale had a one hit wonder a few years ago. I always thought McMullen sounded totally like the lead singer. If only the lyrics contained the word "Ooooooooorrr-Sen-Al" we'd know for sure if they are the same person.

Does anybody know if Today FM do live commentary for the `12:45 game every week or is is it just when there's a big match on? I know they do one at 3pm but I see (or hear) that they're doing Arsenal V Chelsea at the moment. Thanks.
