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

Weekends on LMFM!!!!!!

I wonder what the Q102 schedule will look like with this change.

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

Probably not too different.

Breakfast with Aidan and Venetia 6am-10am.

Ryan Tubridy 10am-1pm

Andy Preston 1pm-4pm

Liam Coburn 4pm-7pm

Or something to that affect.

He was massively overpaid....as has been shown by the fact the figures in his slot are up since he left.

I wont be listening but hey for those who enjoy him grand stuff.

Where are you from?

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?
