    Having looked at the thread about Tracy Clifford who has come to 2FM from Spin103, it reminded me that there are quite a lot of ex-Spin103 people on other stations. Most would have been presenters and others would have been contributors or people behind the scenes.

    Here are some more:
    Keith Walsh and Conor Behan - 2FM
    Ray Foley, Dara Quilty and Claire Solan - 98FM
    Claire Beck, Joe Donnelly, Paul Lynskey and Claire O'Dowd - TXFM
    Marty Milller - Radio Nova (yes, it's true!)

    Any more?

    I thought of another example: Suzanne Kane - 4FM.

    Claire Solan is gone from 98 about 6 months now. Jonathan Mcrea is on Newstalk too.

    Spin have a tendency to put anyone on air, maybe more so than ever now, and theres a huge cross over with 98 now. Spin, when it started also went through a lot of show changes and line up changes so people have been in and out alot, and they usually tend to punt for younger people starting off, so chances are they will move on, guess this means they more ex staff out there.

    Another example just came to mind: Jack and Ali - Radio Nova.

    AFAIK the original CEO - Liam Thompson - went to 98FM.

    I had the unfortunate experience of hearing Jack and Ali on Radio Nova a few Saturdays back. They started on Spin.

    There's a blast from the past, when are they on?

    Don't know and don't care. They're awful.

    Jonathan McCrea is now on Newstalk (and doing very well for himself with his excellent Science show). I met the guy a few times and I always found him very professional and knowledgeable. The Spin was obviously easy work for him.

    I heard Becki Miller (ex TRL) in Alice Cooper's old slot on Radio Nova this evening! Or at least it sounded like her...

    Very warm sounding DJ. Not what I would expect on Nova. Saying that I was suprised when Claire Beck turned up on Phantom.

    Nikki Hayes started out on Spin before going to 2FM. Went back to Spin for a while and is now on 4FM.
