    Up to his death last year, I'm almost certain Gerry Ryan's 9-12 show was for over 22 years i.e.: same time slot, duration, station, presenter.

    Though thinking again I think it is Sean Og O'Callachain GAA results on Radio 1 Sunday nights, though this could have changed time slots over the years.

    Failing that..perhaps it's something on the locals (i.e.: since 1989).

    Seán Óg's programme is reputed to be the longest running in the world.
    Seán has a Sunday night radio programme on RTÉ entitled Gaelic Sports Results, which is the longest running continuously broadcast radio feature in the world. He took over the show in place of his father in 1953. The Gaelic Sports Results programme has a worldwide audience amongst the Irish Diaspora through satellite and web broadcasting. He began his media career with the Evening Press and continued until its closure in 1995.

    Marking Seán Óg's radio days

    SOME landmarks demand to be recognised, such as the achievement of Seán Óg Ó Ceallacháin, who broadcast his 3,000th GAA results programme on RTÉ Radio One last Sunday night.

    It's a phenomenal feat of broadcasting longevity which, when coupled with that of his father, means the Ó Ceallacháins have been running the Sunday night service since 1930.

    Seán Óg is the longest-serving broadcaster in Europe, but is denied world recognition in the Guinness Book of Records by Puerto Rican Jose Miguel Agrelot, on air a few years longer.
