The Ryan Tubridy Show **Mod: Read OP**

Now, now that is so unfair she is very sick and she could not possibly be able to defend herself on a public site that allows anyone to sign up to it, and its very unfair because where else could she defend herself, I mean its not like she was the head of the national broadcaster and didn't get to defend her actions while she was there and its not like she's been invited to defend herself in public forums such as the Oireachtas Committees.

No she couldn't possibly be on a site that's, at this point, largely dead in the water and hasn't been significant since 2009.

The poor crayture. God love her.

The producers of Dancing with the Canteen must be sweating it. They'll have no one to rope in soon.

I'm not sure there's a huge market for The two Johnnie's. Whatever happened to the "Hardy Bucks"?

The 2 Johnnies are doing plenty outside of their RTE jobs to be fair. Their company is raking it in according to financials released a few months ago.

Viper spent some time with a Russian propaganda mill, now irregularly livestreams to a small crowd of very strange people. Also did a one man reenactment of a Pat Kenny/FrankMcCourt/Gerry Hannan interview on an abandoned train track.

Durkin mostly posts his very strong policial opinions on twitter.

French Toast and Buzz do stuff as "Three Bucks left" with a lad who briefly appeared in one episode. They had some drama over a Traveler joke.

Not any more. He got early release for bad behaviour.

Zamparellu: gone

Doireann Garrihy: gone

Johnny #1: gone

Johnny #2: gone

D'Arcy: new 4 year 250K p.a. contract

Mary Morrisey: Come to the "Marty Party" in sunny Benalmadena

What's the plan, Kevin?

Mortified? He should be kissing the feet of whoever he got to sign off on that contract. I see he allegedly does not have an agent, he must use all his smarts on negotiating instead of learning how to operate a radio desk.

When you put it like that, those leavers were actually great value.

Everything he tries is failing.

He is being found out. The career is dying. He is yesterday's man, unless some idiot like KB offers him a highly paid job back at rte.

He's probably still bringing in some money but it is not the same amount as when he was on the LLS and RTE radio. He has also been taken out of his natural environment for celebrity appearances (Dublin). London is far more competitive in that respect and they have their own celebrities there. Even with the Q102 etc syndication on local radio in Ireland, his value to advertisers is still based on his recognition from RTE and the LLS. The problem is that it has been overtaken by the 150K payments scandal. The Eason podcast might have worked better before the RTE payments scandal. Perhaps Tubridy and NKM still hope for a return to Irish national broadcasting but the longer he stays off Irish national radio, the less likely that is to happen.

She's a different generation to Tubridy and I think that she already has podcasting experience.

Yeah it would be hard to see how he could return to rte any time soon.

The anger with rte is still raw among the public. If KB decided to bring him back, there would be hell to pay on social media. His position would beuntenable.

Can't see it happening.
