When John Murray comes back, it will be known as "The Miriam O'Callaghan Show with John Murray".

John Murray has been out sick and is apparently due back soon , so answer to op is no it shouldn't change now. In general it's my view that shows shouldn't be named after individuals by that's a personal opinion. I wish Mr Murray a speedy recovery

I wonder how many listeners Miriam has lost. She doesn't have a radio voice. Personally, I found her tone simpering and sickening. I don't listen any more. Came across Katherine Thomas one morning and liked her.

They need to stop naming programmes after presenters esp Marian Finucane of course! Cult of personality in media is unbearable at times

She's a fine radio presenter.

Agree with posters here who say it's wrong to name a show after a single person. Although this seems to be standard daytime radio format. I think a suite of presenters works better.

What's the latest on when John Murray is coming back???

Miriam has weird cadence. She talks very slowly and emphasises all her words so it sounds like she's being condescending whenever she opens her mouth.

I would like to state that the above comment re Miriam was NOT made by me. I don't know why it is being attributed to my username (I notice that someone else has edited it) but I have e-mailed boards and hope that this awful mistake will be sorted. If it isn't, I would have concerns regarding the accountability of posting on this website, honeybear

He's only 49?? He looks a lot older in that photo.

Great that he is back

Great news. Although I thought they could have left out "mystery illness"

The mystery has been solved and fair play to John for sharing. You can hear in his voice that it is hard for him to talk about.

Fair play to John for being so strong to talk about it in the intro ... clearly wasn't easy. The audio is here: http://radionation.ie/2013/11/john-murray-returns-rte-radio-1-show/
