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

Hopefully not. Bit of a mistake to set up a ‘cap’ in my opinion as that could become the ‘norm’.
How does Miriam O’Callaghan justify her wedge? and Ballsy?
Is there something I am not seeing here?
The new RTE plan seems not to be radical enough. No sell off (just examination), no clarity on the 400 voluntary redundancies (over 2 or some sources 4 years, 2028).
To quote the late, great George Carlin, it's a big club and you ain't in it.

"The "Angelus" can remain FTA, but the likes of Room to Improve which is a popular broadcast goes on the premium service."
I believe the proposal on the table for the Angelus is the first 30sec will be free to air, but if you want to watch the full 60-secs you'll need to sign up for the premium level.
If you want Full HD and Dolby Atmos for them bells, that's going to be another add-on like "Boost" for NOW TV!!
I know this is quite off topic but just watching Kevin Bakhurst being interviewed on The Tonight Show and my parents asked me to Google what age he was. Collective shock when Google said he's going on 58! He looks a lot younger!
Good point.
The benchmarking to Bakhurst's pay looked great...at first glance that is
Lets benchmark that properly - €250k pa for a 39hr week = €123 per hour
That's better
Kevin said himself, he is on over 300k when car allowance and pension is taken into account. Talent still on mad money for a few hours work. There are other radio stations were the talent have a normal job to top of their radio gig.
had the misfortune to have to listen to him a some weeks ago in a dentists waiting room,was going to ask the receptionist for a pair of plyers and pull my teeth myself instead of listening to that...how is he on that kind of money?
RTE don't want the competition to snap him up. They, of course, are competing against themselves and thankfully have not only the money we give them but also the full safety of knowing that no matter how poorly the business of RTE is run all they need to do is ask our elected representatives for yet another top up.
Story from “RSVP Live”
Says RT is poised to take over the lunch time slot on Today FM and also do “holiday cover” for Virgin Radio UK.
On his Insta this morning (30 mins ago) he was in the back of a taxi in London, on his way to a building beside the Thames, where he will be making a big announcement (due about now).
Let him on. The British public are welcome to him.
aye...i can see the likes of the bbc trying to poach him allright,such a talent!

Midwest Radio in Mayo have a massive listenership, well into 90% of the audience available.
They pay their presenters on average 100 euros per show.
I can't believe RTE app sent a notification for this 🤣🤣
That's pretty good work out of tubridy? Sounds like a big slot to get?
He's on twattering with Chris Evans right now 🙄
Yeah, Pat Kenny just announced Tubridy's move to Virgin UK
He finds radio "the most beautiful medium of them all" you know.
How much did he pay Virgin uk to take him on.
He makes himself sound like the simple little country boy in the big city. He's a multi-millionaire with a long career as Ireland's biggest broadcaster, not a school-leaver! I'm surprised he's not living in digs, with a kindly landlady who cooks all his meals and does his laundry, the way he goes on. Playing bland music and talking shite for an apathetic audience in the morning is perfect for him though. He'll just be a background noise on an office radio that nobody will pay much attention to. There's a reason Alan Partridge presented a show called Mid Morning Matters; it's a desert in the radio schedule. They don't put the best of the best there. Congratulations Ryan. Now please stay over there, and stop sending us updates and "teasing" your next move (seriously whoever writes those Indo articles where Tubs is constantly teasing his next move needs a punch in the face. Such slack, lazy writing.)
Maybe he could present TLLS as part of his 250k contract saving RTÉ PK’s salary 😀
I've been involved in a number of sectors over the years and one thing I've noticed again and again is that you just can't surpress some people. Their talent, brilliance even, means they always recover from setbacks.
Ryan lost his job in the place he had worked all his life, was dragged before a parliamentary committee, was plastered on the front of the tabloids, his finances discussed on TV and radio for months. All because his employers opted to pay him in an unorthodox but perfectly legal way.
The pressure he endured would have broken many people, but not him. Only a few months later he has a prominent position in a major UK station.
He’ll never be as good as Ronan Collins
About 25% more than he said he paid.
He really needs to expand his vocabulary. Come on Ryan get a few synonyms for beautiful under your belt if you're going to make it in the UK. You can't rely on nepotism and lack of standards now you're standing on your own too feet.
It wouldn't surprise me if Tubs and his agent are paying Virgin to let him present. Interesting to see how long it lasts. If it's a bust, he'll be back here saying how he hates being away from home.
Does anyone know if Irish audiences will be able to get to listen to this show?
Actually, there might be something in this, bigroad.
Because he's such a nobody in UK terms, Noel must have offered him to The Wireless Group for bargain basement price in the hope that he might take off over there.
