    He will also present a weekend show that will broadcast on Q102, Cork 96, Limerick 95 & LMFM.

    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!

    Delighted for him

    Hopefully his enormous salary doesn't affect his soul like his last job

    Thanks to the shareholders of The Wireless Group for taking over the financial burden from the Irish Licence Fee fools.

    He'll have four Rajar surveys to make it a success.

    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!

    Only Dublin, Cork, Limerick, Louth and Meath will be able to hear his show... not Galway, Waterford or the rest of the country

    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.

    You're posting on the internet so you know it exists.

    Anybody, anywhere will be able to hear the show that's if they wanted too.

    I know I won't as I just don't see his appeal as a broadcaster.

    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.

    Look I don’t wish him bad luck with this and do hope he lands in his feet. I don’t want to see anyone left without a living. It’s a fact though that he did present a pretty poor show on RTE five days a week and was pretty abysmal as a TV presenter so he has an uphill struggle ahead. Not withstanding all that, I wish him well.

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

    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?

    This is big news and I am delighted that our greatest broadcaster (alongside Wogan, Eamon Andrews, Gay Byrne) will once again be on our airwaves very soon.


    in my parish there has been a lot of lonesomeness since he left RTE.


    radio is one of the most wonderful mediums of communication and I look forward to hearing his booming voice soon - I certainly will be switching the dial on my radio.


    there will be so much fun in my life soon


    He is a national treasure and brings great joy to a lot of people in Ireland.

    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.

    Funnily enough, he mentions the broadcasting giant Terry Wogan who was many thousands of miles above himself in broadcast legend, here:

    Tubridy paid tribute to legendary broadcaster Terry Wogan, who he said

    was on his mind today: “He was a lovely representative of our country in

    this place. I'm thinking about him a lot today.”

    https://www.independent.ie/irish-news/ryan-tubridy-reveals-london-virgin-radio-job-and-new-weekend-show-across-irish-regional-stations/a2036044432.html

    Are Virgin AND Tubridy expecting another Wogan in the UK?...erm...

    He's moving to Islington (surprise, surprise)

    The issue is never the issue; the issue is always the revolution.

    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.

    That's normal attire and transport method around the gentrified streets of Islington!
