    As per the title of this thread!

    I saw her name on some anorak archives for Radio Nova for 1982 and I vaguely remember her.

    Anyone know what happened to her after Nova, and how long was she actually with them?

    I did a further search and found a reference to her being a newsreader on Treble TR in 1988. I also gather that she also read the news on Nova's sister station Kiss FM, which was not a surprise. She was Irish-American. Interestingly, fellow American ex-Nova newsreader Bob Gallicoe was there then too.

    So, I wonder when she left Nova and where was she between Nova and Treble TR, or did she go straight there?

    Siobhán was on air at Kiss FM with Mike Moran (Moloney) on the morning of the 1983 raid - as Mike recalls here in a short film made in 2001 by Michael McCarthy, a student at the National College of Art & Design.
