Muireann O'Connell nominated for two IMRO awards after being dropped by Today FM

Muireann O’Connell has been nominated for two 2019 IMRO Radio Awards two months after being dropped from Today FM’s schedule.

At the end of July, the station announced that Mairead Ronan will take over as presenter of a new 12-2pm daytime show, a slot which was previously hosted by O’Connell.

Today, O’Connell bagged herself two IMRO Radio Award nominations - one for Music and Entertainment Presenter of the Year and other in the General Music Programme category.

Other nominees in the Music and Entertainment Presenter of Year category are: Dara Quilty (98FM), Dermot Whelan (Today FM), Luke O'Faolain (98FM), and Ray Foley (Cork's RedFM).

The nominees in the General Music Programme category include: Dermot & Dave (Today FM), More Music with Philip Bourke (Cork's Red FM), The Big Ride Home with Dara Quilty (98FM) and The Saturday Soundtrack with Peter Devlin (Radio Nova)

“Incredibly grateful for both my @IMRORadioAwards nominations,” the Limerick lady tweet on hearing the news.

Now, would station anyone have an ol’ spare seat?

The awards will take place on Friday, October 4 at the Lyrath Estate Hotel in Kilkenny.
