    That's your department Declan, I have no idea as I stopped listening after that point. I used to tune into the Rick Dees Weekly Top 40 from 10am to 2pm every Saturday as Capital had taken that show up from October 1990 until they launched Rock 104. I think some of those presenters you mentioned left Capital gradually between August 1990 and the relaunch of Capital to Rock 104/FM 104. Some of which probably departed later.

    Mike Duggan is still with East Coast, he presents an 80s show on Sunday evenings.

    I never realised that Bill Cunningham had been in the frame for 98FM. Didn’t he eventually end up at FM104 for a brief period in the early nineties?

    Bill Cunningham along with Pierre Doyle was part of a consortium applying for one of the Dublin local radio station licenses in 1989 but he was also earmarked for the role of management/programming if Radio 2000 was successful in obtaining a license.

    He presented a Sunday morning oldies show on FM104 around about 1993, during this time he was in a high court battle with Radio 2000 for breach of contract. It was settled out of court. Funny though at this time his voice also made it on to RTE Radio 1 and 2FM in the form of a Sprite commercial.
