Ryan Tubridy joins The Wireless Group - Thread bans in opening post

Christ that’s 15 hours a week plus maybe 2 at the weekend! 17 hours and a few hours prep. I just hope he’ll cope with long hours like that in the long term!

Weekends on LMFM!!!!!!

It seems Tubs is now working for the lovely Murdoch family's News Corporation now. Nice!

Can’t keep a good man down. This is terrible news for a load of malcontents, losers, oddballs and ne'er-do-wells on Twitter. The all-day anger merchants who think anyone who makes more money or is more successful than them is somehow on the take.

We'll survive ;)

Whatever about the weekend network show across the Irish stations, I wonder how C na M feel about a primetime networked show from another country - one that isn't even in the EU at that - being broadcast on Q102?

Anyone that comes on tv every Friday night with a sad face begging for money off normal families while publicly claiming to be doing his bit all the while being topped up on the QT to prevent him from actually doing his bit is a dick, pulling a dick move and based on the evidence of him being in possession of a large sum of money that all agree should be returned due to work not being done, being on the take is not an outlandish description.

It’s a weekend show for the Irish stations I think

YES .. on Q102, Cork 96, Limerick 95 & LMFM for a show at the weekend. BUT will be on Q102 Dublin all week from 10am-1pm simulcast

"Ryan Tubridy is returning to radio with a show on Q102 in Dublin and Virgin Radio in the UK from London.

He’ll be on-air across the two stations from 10am till 1pm weekdays, following Chris Evans on Virgin Radio UK and Aidan and Venetia in Dublin."

So despite tripling his weekday broadcasting hours, he still needs a weekend gig to supplement his income. I suspect he's found out his value in the open market was nowhere near what he was being paid by RTE.

Did he jump or was he pushed?
