Not a good look. I wonder did he go because this was going to come to light?

So Tubbers has been approached by a U.K. TV News channel....
and that channel is.....
GB News
This pretty much tells you the level of talent and regard Tubbers is held in.
So ultimately you're saying that it's all about money with the journalists as well. I don't doubt this for a second. Businesses have to look after the bottom line after all.
That's why it's difficult to get an objective view on this. To form one myself, I've pretty much just ignored the press and only allowed the facts of this scandal to inform to form my view.
The trouble is, The Indo group are a national platform, and as such they're extremely influential. They can, and have, had a measurable impact on public opinion. At present, their editorial influence is being used in support of clear wrong-doing on the part of Kelly and Tubridy. Throwing mud into clear water.
And I don't think the "just business" defence of Sheahan enhances anyone's opinion of him in all this. The "just business" defence has been used before, in defence of far worse acts, unfortunately.
'People's presenter' Ryan Tubridy approached by UK news channel (msn.com)
GB News come a' calling for Tubridy. I'm not sure it'll be a great fit for him but better than nathin
Longterm I’d counter “nathin” would be better than joining that outfit.
Ryan won't go to GB News because that'd be seen very negatively here, and he wouldn't be ideologically comfortable with their brand of biased news.
While he won't go there it does show he has options, they're kind of lovebombing him. Other major UK broadcasters are obviously going to want him too, but hopefully he stays in Ireland. I think he will. I think he'll go the podcast route until RTE see it needs him.
GB News?
Is he going to turn right wing now?
GB will do anything for a bit of attention
I reluctantly clicked on that Sunday World link. Now, having done so, I'm convinced John Brennan is our very own 'Sunny Disposition'.
So will we see the Toy Man join the right wing TV station that would be an interesting turn of events.
Stop the boats!
….
I would laugh my bollix off if this happened.
Tubridy jettisoning his lifelong D4 liberal worldview for the sake of a few bob.
And still drowning because their encumbent talentless muppets are still making him look incompetent.
GB News would even deserve a €uro out of the licence fee to hammer that final nail into the coffin of Tubridy's career.
Surprised that a Russian TV station hasn't been in touch with Tubridy. They share the same initials. :)

I wonder if Callan was "spoken to" by management, after his mouthing off
Their audience figures are bad enough as it is without Tubridy. Don't think that they could afford a Tubridy "success".
Hahaha
That was as pathetic as Michael Healy Rae defending John Delaney
If Tubridy takes up an offer from an Irish commercial radio station that’s the end of his association with RTÉ.
He’d have to build up a new following of listeners just like Pat Kenny did- so what would happen after 2 years IF RTÉ approached him to rejoin? All that time and investment wasted by the commercial station to build up his brand?
Besides the doubt of being offered a commercial radio contract in the first place, it would seem Tubridy is now caught between a rock and a hard place - taking an Irish commercial radio contract is not likely to be high on his priorities
-one off projects, either independent tv production company or solo runs like pod casts or some filling in BBC radio work, and/or a history book maybe tied into an independently produced tv show, are probably his options right now- he’s certainly not unemployable but if he wants back in to RTÉ he’ll need to keep that door open himself
Another bug on nk page.
If you select tubs it says he is a present on rte radio and tv. A radio show from 9-10. Someone should tell Noel it’s not right
Jim Davidson Nigel farage Graham linehan Ryan tubridy
sure it’s perfect 😂
Well Ryan still has “a fast paced entertaining” radio show according to RTÉ 😀
GB News! The holding pen for British media's populists, propagandists, weirdos and assorted oddballs with a few skeletons in the closet. Sounds a perfect fit for our Ryan!
Not that I think for a second that Tubs has any inclination to go to London fulltime, even if it was for an offer of a primetime BBC1 chatshow, but if there's anyone who could jack in his particular brand of caring, sharing, Kennedy democrat, pro EU, Oirishness and swap it for a war on woke GB News agenda, RT is the very man!
Beggars can't be choosers. If there's no guarantee of of a way back in with RTE he has to look at whatever alternatives are on offer. And it's quite possible he won't get a better one than this...
"Public execution" is a rather dramatic overreaction from John Brennan.
I simply don't think podcasting would work for Tubs, for a few reasons.
1) it's still a niche market, and very few people actually make a living solely out of it
2) Tubs' target audience aren't of the demographic to be podcasting.
3) You have to be mega popular to even have a chance of having enough of your potential fan base to want to listen to it. And fundamentally I don't think Tubs is as popular as he or his fans think he is. Perfect example was his last LLS. He announced that he wanted to make it all about local talent and his 'friends', when in essence he had to say this cos so few people couldn't be arsed to appear on it cos he's simply not a likeable character. It was an embarrassment of a leaving do.
Could be the perfect move for RT away from all the controversy. Who knows he could end up on one of the main UK TV channels. As we all know there are hundreds of channels in the UK so chances are more than one offer will be made.
Ah go on, go on. Take up the offer. Might be the best to be got.
You should read that book, it is bizarre.
The 3 producers effectively defend RTÉ and the criticism towards its output of the 1960s and suggest that the audience just didn't understand how difficult it was in a small country to get talent (a continued thread for RTÉ over the last 60 years).
In fairness it does also tell the story of the political pressures for RTÉ at the time and also the commercial pressures.
At times they defend and criticize both management and producers.
QVC channel might be looking for someone to promote a steam cleaner or a blender 😁😁😁
He could end up presenting a military based quiz show called Skirmish, on TV channel UK Conquest.
