So i don't see him going anywhere, especially as he has Mario and Gift Grub. If he goes, they will go with him. D&D at 9am is a shocking decision IMO. They're grand for some lunchtime fun but thats about it. They obviously agreed to everything that Anton wouldn't such as changes to playlists, topics for discussion, contributors, guests. So really it wont be their show, it will be managements show and they will be the voice of it. I expected the likes of Will Leahy to have gotten the 9-12pm show. He went for it after Ray left but Anton got it. Wouldn't surprise me if Ray Foley returned. They will have to have more female presenters during primetime hours so they might give Muireann her own show but she can be hard to listen too I actually enjoy Louises show at 7pm. I think she plays a good mix of stuff. Definitely introduced me to good music i wouldn't normally listen too.
