Niall Boylan joins 4fm

Tapes

Niall Boylan will be hosting an new late night talk show on 4FM from this sunday night. I wonder will they be keeping David Harveys morning talk show? I thought they wanted to reduce talk output.

Good luck to Niall. Only ever heard him on 98FM years and years ago, when he used to do the After Dark show. Used to enjoy it.

I can confirm that The Late Show with Niall Boylan will kick off on Classic Hits 4FM this Sunday night from 9pm to midnight and will run every week from Sunday to Thursday with a "best of" show going out on Fridays from 10pm to midnight.

The tag line of the show is "talk with a twist" and it will mix elements of comedy, serious hard-hitting interviews and topical discussion all in Niall Boylan's own brash and different style.

... and just to put my cards on the table, I'm a friend of Niall's, my name is also Niall and I'm the producer of the show. The show has a facebook and twitter - feel free to like/follow it - and you can call in to the show on 1850 4 104 94 or text 53544 (for 20 cent).

Aside - just from the point of view of the radio forum, you can rest assured that despite my connection with the show, I'll continue to be unbiased as a moderator here.

Before 98FM, Niall Boylan was with FM104. I think he was more or less Chris Barry's understudy. After 98FM, Niall had a small stint on Dublin's Country 106.8. He also was the man behind, as well as a presenter with, temporary-licenced talk station Real Radio.

Niall Boylan's producer on 4FM, Niall O'Keeffe, worked with Niall Boylan on Real Radio as a sports presenter and as a presenter on LGBT-oriented temporary station Open FM. Subsequently, this Niall was a presenter on north-east regional youth station I105-107.

I made a few errors when giving the previous experience of Niall O'Keeffe (Niall Boylan's producer).
He wasn't a sports presenter on Real Radio: he was the news editor there as well as researcher and presenter or co-presenter on a couple of programmes.

He wasn't a presenter on i105-107, but was a newsreader on both i105-107 and i102-104.

In Open FM, N. O'K. was certainly a weekend presenter but he was also head of production. I should also mention that he presented for Christmas FM in both 2009 and 2010.


Now - back to Niall Boylan himself....

Listened in for the first hour last night. Good to hear you on air Bard.

Well done with the show, Niall Boylan sounds great. I'll try an listen more often.

I don't like when talk radio shows try to pack too much in, and are really tight on time for each topic. Maybe it was just the topic I heard last night, but I thought it dragged out a little too long. It was kind of like a big long thread on boards, where the same points are gone over again and again.

Well done anyway

If you looked back over the previous posts in this thread, you would have seen the answer to your question. Anyway, here is a quick summary of Niall's previous radio experience:

Niall Boylan was the man behind, as well as a presenter with, temporary-licenced Dublin talk station Real Radio last year. A year or two before that, Niall had a small stint on *Dublin's Country Mix 106.8. It was a property-related slot - I think that dates it! Before that again, he presented a phone-in talk show on Dublin's 98M, and before that he was involved with a similar program on FM104. Initially, as far as I know, he assisted Chris Barry on FM104.
So, Niall Boylan would probably not be known outside Dublin.

Incidentally, Niall Boylan had a residency as a deejay in Dublin nightclub Club M.


* Now known as Sunshine 106.8.

PLEASE, radiofreak, please explain why you capitalise the first letter of every word you type? I am genuinely curious!

When someone types their message ALL in capitals, the site will change it to look like that instead, as far as I know.

I'm sure I saw him on The Late Late when Pat Kenny was presenting, he was selling wigs at that stage. And one of his "participants" was Joey who used to do the phones from his call-in show

I've been listening to this show for a few months now and I have to say I find it great entertainment. If your looking for good heated no holding back debates about topics of the day then this is show to listen too. They won a big award too at the New York radio awards for Rhoda’s Story in the best human interest category, fair play to them.

It was the bronze medal in the Human Interest category. I'm fairly proud of it, to be honest... while my name isn't on it (as I no longer work on the show), I was the producer of the show in question where Rhoda Crosbie came into studio... it was difficult and harrowing, but really good radio.
