    I don't think being a DJ really suited him tbh.

    I don't get this, he's moving to 2fm digital. He's still going to be employed by RTE.

    Jesus, what part of 'leaving 2fm' do people not understand?

    Anyway, here's a photo gallery of the man himself. A genuine legend of Irish radio, and (let's face it), way more suited to RTE Gold, so let's hope he has a few more years left in him.

    Leaving 2fm yes but does sort of sound like retirement but isn't as he is staying on.

    I think it should be opened up to younger people to be honest he has done his but now let someone else have a go.

    I did see as I read the story but just commented on he isn't actually leaving rte.

    I think, without being facetious, he's as good as gone. What's the listenership for RTE Gold?

    My Dad always had him on in the car picking us up from school in the early 90s.

    Whatever contract he has it must be absolutely bulletproof :pac:

    After all these years, it seems that Dan Healy and Dee Forbes have finally listened to us boardises, and moved Larry to where he is much better suited.

    An absolute gent, and always good to listen to.

    I’ll be tuning in :)

    No different to Gay Byrne! A job in RTE is no different to Irish politics.
    You're guaranteed a job for life unless of course your a female! :)

    Not really a fan of Larry's but when RTE Radio 2/2FM started back in 1979 who could have possibly thought that Larry would remain there longer than anyone else (apart from Dave Fanning).

    Larry and John Bowman must be RTE's longest serving staff at this stage.

    Yes, Gaybo goes back further than anyone. However, he is not currently on air.

    Having him back on radio would be mega :)

    RTÉ have this article of the funny answers on the Just-A-Minute quiz.

    https://www.rte.ie/entertainment/2019/0108/1021955-comedy-gold-the-ten-best-just-a-minute-answers/

    Looks like someone just googled funny quiz answers and had a go at Photoshop. I left a comment pointing out that the last one (bird with a long neck) is from Family Fortunes. I doubt my comment will be approved.

    RTE should replace Larry's time slot with Dave Fanning with his chat show and also playing the best of indie and dance over the past 40 years. Sort of a 2FM Greatest Hits.

    But we all know it will be one of the youth presenters that has been filling in for Larry.

    "End of an era – Larry Gogan’s Just a Minute Quiz won’t feature on Golden Hour on RTE Gold" is the headline on Entertainment>Radio article.

    Reading the above article published on Independent.ie online and I thought for a brief moment that "GOLD FM" was a new radio station altogether as "RTÉ Gold" is regarded as a digital only station and is NOT officially available on FM unless you happen to be listening to a simulcast of it's output when RTÉ Radio 1 broadcasts a segment called: "RTE Gold on RTE Radio 1" between 03:00 - 05:30am.

    I gather that Larry's shows will probably be pre-recorded or perhaps some old archive material of Larry's shows might be re-broadcast on RTÉ Gold if they are avoiding live interaction with listeners on the "Just-A-Minute, the 60 Second Quiz!

    Larry Gogan - such a legend in pop music broadcasting down through the years and was a cornerstone of RTÉ Radio 2FM since day one way back in 1979!

    Even when you look at a photo of Larry when he was young, he still looked old!
