Ryan Tubridy - From Virgin to Youtube **Mod: Read OP**

Some things never change.

He's got Meeeriam promoting her book this week. At least she's not one of his NK bedfello/ines.

I listened for an hour today, he interview Ethan Hawke and Gary Linklater.

It was a pretty standard film promotional interview. Save for 2 questions (and the Irish stuff)

He asked Hawke a question and rambled around the question (what I mean to say and do you think that this ) Hawke stopped him and just answered the question.

He then talked about filming the new film in Ireland, at the end of this question he says you never know who's going to be the star in on an Irish set it could be the hair and make up person…. silence on the other end of the line.

In fairness to Tubs I do think he could be doing something more if given space outside the music and it all feels repetitive. I think he needs a little more control on the music, but he needs to drop all of the Irish stuff.

Gone or pushed.

"Tubridy will host a new standalone YouTube channel, The Late Show"

Now it's just getting sad. Do you think he'll do a toy show, too?

What happened The Bookshelf podcast, sponsored by Easons, where Ryan pretended to have read books discussed by his guests? Lucky he is getting another opportunity. Bated breath.

New sponsor, Ballymore, ballymore you might have bought your first house with them and causing you to get your first mortgage maybe you will my your next house from them, Ballymore.

Strange that he's not going be presenting 10 to 13 on Q102, wonder how long the weekend show will last on Onic, will it be live?

The Late Show youtube channel! He things he is as big as the oscars!

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences made the announcement on Wednesday, saying that it signed a multi-year deal that will give YouTube the exclusive global rights to the Oscars until 2033.

Youtube basically bought the broadcast rights to the Oscars. And it won't happen until 2029.

I've never really been sure if Ryan took the Virgin job thinking he was going to make a big splash in the UK and he'd have a BBC chat show by the summer of 2025, or if it was a safe haven to keep his name in the media and a paycheque coming in until the "unpleasantness" blew over.

I've always assumed more the latter. Virgin is a minnow in UK radio and it was unlikely he was going to go on to big things from there.

I still believe, unfortunately, that he'll eventually end up back in Montrose, but not until more time has passed. And maybe, just maybe, the arrogance will be toned down a little, knowing that, contrary to what RTÉ had been telling us for years, he wasn't a mega-talent who needed a massive salary because the BBC would snap him up if RTÉ didn't place him high on a pedestal.

"contrary to what RTÉ had been telling us for years, he wasn't a mega-talent who needed a massive salary because the BBC would snap him up if RTÉ didn't place him high on a pedestal."

Nail on the head ^

He will NEVER return to RTÉ.

He isn't. He won't.

when they said talk about Darts it wasn’t the one that gets you to Blackrock
