After 58 and a half years, Larry Gogan has ceased working for RTE.

Viscount Aggro

He will be a contractor from now on.

Reading the thread title I was expecting sad news of his passing. Pleasantly surprised to see he is still with us

Apart from the obvious clickbait thread title mimicking the (actually departed) Gaybo thread, OP has provided no source for his claims.

Professor Genius

RIP. One of a kind

Thread title unnecessary and rather cruel

Mod: Can you please change the title or lock thread?.

Although weekend shows on RTE Gold have been reduced in the past week, I had presumed as most of Larry's weekday shows are pre-recorded, these shows will continue until RTE Gold finally closes and then hopefully Larry will continue in some form on RTE Radio 1, possibly overnights as part of the RTE Gold overnight music service currently in place.

This'll just give the Late Late Show producers another idea for a tribute show.

Larry seems to be no longer on the RTE Gold schedule. Instead Niamh mcmanus now on weekdays 1 - 3 pm.

NIMAN

To be fair, he had a good innings.
Over 58 yrs with one employer is incredible.

Can he bring Ronan Collins with him?
