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

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.)
How much did he pay Virgin uk to take him on.
He finds radio "the most beautiful medium of them all" you know.
Yeah, Pat Kenny just announced Tubridy's move to Virgin UK
He's on twattering with Chris Evans right now 🙄
That's pretty good work out of tubridy? Sounds like a big slot to get?
I can't believe RTE app sent a notification for this 🤣🤣
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.

aye...i can see the likes of the bbc trying to poach him allright,such a talent!
Let him on. The British public are welcome to him.
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).
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
Good point.
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!

"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!!
To quote the late, great George Carlin, it's a big club and you ain't in it.

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).
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?
joe duffy ~ 450k a year for 6 hours work a week, ~40 weeks a year. I reckon he might have to take a haircut to his salary to only 250k a year.
I assume that the DG is paid €250000 for full time job. i.e. at least 35 hour week. As far as I see, Non of the talent do more than 20 hours a week. So will they be paid pro-rata, i.e. about €145000 or is it RTE's intention to pay them €250000 for part time job?
I'm sure Disney is tripping over themselves to sign Dermot Bannon.
Yes. A lot of what RTE show is produced by other companies.
The vast majority of it being "reality" tv.
Bottom of the barrel stuff. But unfortunately a lot of that would actually garner a audience, so if the formula works, the formula gets repeated.
So we get treated to the likes of Dancing with the Stars and Home of the Year.
...
Ah interesting, so CoCo own it and not rte is it?
The "plan" was worded like....nearly every other annual report/plan by RTE over the years. "A new direction" ffs. Who writes this sh|te and how much are they getting paid :)
