    Apparently the new show will be called "Good Clean Fun with Pat Kenny".

    Statement issued by Pat Kenny a minute ago.





    "I did it to get the hell away from Marie Louise O'Donnell".

    I wonder is part of Pat's motivation to prove this, show he can do it without the might of Montrose behind him. He said in a recent interview he regretted not trying to build a side career in the UK when he had the chance, so maybe this is the next best thing in that direction he can do at this late stage...

    I agree with the notion of Philip Boucher Hayes getting the nod for Pat's time-slot. He would offer a great alternative to PK. We would actually have some choice amongst the mid-morning radio shows for once. :eek:

    It also might mean Pat will concentrate the entire show on current affairs instead of the 25-35 minute segment he does at the moment while the rest is filled with fluffy shite.


    As long as the top brass in RTE don't see this as the perfect opportunity to get golden boy Tubridy back over to his more 'natural' home of Radio 1, I for one am very happy with the news.

    edit: damn you Skid.

    You did quote me in the original post so was just responding to that... apologies for attributing the other quote to you.

    Anyway forget about Dil! The news today will have a serious affect on Irish radio that hasn't be seen in a while... it allows the new CEO's of Newstalk and 2FM free to shake things up considerably.

    I like how Pat made this deal without leaking it to the media in advance.

    He did the same when he quit The Late Late Show, nobody saw it coming.

    I think he is still annoyed at having The Frontline scrapped from RTE TV. He hasn't much to lose if he was planning on retiring in a few years anyway. Good for him, I hope he does well at Newstalk.

    Seemingly Tom Dunne's been offered a job answering phones at NT, provided he learns to talk coherently.

    Rock and roll for him so!

    His remuneration was € 630,000 in 2011, € 729,604 in 2009 and € 950,976 in 2008. (Source Irish Times)

    Reckon RTE were under pressure to lop another 100k off his pay minimum. If Newstalk offered him 500k I imagine he'd jump at it given he would not have any TV work to do on top of the radio.

    So it'll only be an hour long? They struggle to get through the show as it is.. hardly seems worth the bother if it's now gonna be even more time-constrained... Maybe they'll push Moncrieff back by a half hour.

    So if he is just answering phones he will be the NT equivalent of Joe Duffy

    A return to Today FM perhaps? Something at 98FM? Weekend show on Newstalk? None of the above?

    What's the most likely scenario?

    there was talk a couple of years ago about him and Alison Curtis going to Phantom. Curtis was there for about a year or so i think, but Dunne never went.
    I think a music show would be more Dunne's forté, but I don't think it would be a good for Phantom, who are constantly losing listeners due to the dull, stale programming and music policy from 7am-7pm. can't see Dunne offering anything new or exciting for a station that needs to freshen up.

    There's an understatement
    This time last year, Phantom had 47,000 people tuning in each weekend. That figure is now 10,000 which is a drop of 37,000 (or almost their entire weekly reach) in just 4 books
    from http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=85718036&postcount=56

    Maybe they'll just close Phantom in order to pay Pats salary.

    This is brilliant for Newstalk, a great presenter for Newstalk to get. How will he be able to do the show without having the number of back up staff and researchers he had in RTE?? Can he make his own coffee?? Will he like being on camera while talking on radio?? And yes, who would bet agains't Tubridy going back to RTE 1.. he is such a disaster on 2fm, and this way everyone saves face in him moving home as it will be PR's as a strategic move.. The questions is, who will come into 2FM?? Tome Dunne could end up there??

    Massive gain for news talk ..
    Leaves an opening to move tubs back to rte1 .

    Tom dunne was great as a music presenter and was very good when he filled in for d'arcy but that's cause he gelled well with rays team when he was on. He was like the fun uncle that popped in and let them run riot .

    The morning needs a bit of a shake-up. Not that Pat will SHAKE much. Still, I wouldn't mind getting rid of Tom Dunne. He's pretty insipid.

    To be fair to Chris, he only had about 20 minutes notice that he going to do the interview (apparently). I think he did alright, to be honest.

    I think Pat just had to have a look at John Bowman to see what his likely fate at RTE was going to be. He has teenage kids, his pension went wallop in the crash and there's George Hook still working away at Newstalk at 73.

    Miriam attacked what is supposed to be just a temporary gig filling in for an ill colleague with all the enthusiasm of someone who really wants a weekday radio show. I think she will be Pat's replacement.

    Marian Finucane must be Sh***ing herself. If RTE wouldn't pay Kenny, what chance does she have of having her cushy deal renewed ?

    Personally, I think its a "potentially" good move for all concerned.

    RTE need a shake up, they needed to prove that they could be aggressive in negotiating with the top-paid talent and Pat Kenny can try to prove that he can attract an audience, not just hold an audience, when some of that audience don't actually know that there is more than one radio station in Ireland ( My parents and some of their friends have radios that have not changed station since the thing was bought).

    I realise that RTE can easily mess this up, but I'm in a good mood, I wont complain about that until they do.....
