OUTSPOKEN broadcaster Eamon Dunphy is set to make yet another comeback over the airwaves — this time on RTÉ Radio 1 from September 30.

Details of Eamon Dunphy’s new weekend show on RTÉ Radio 1 were revealed for the first time today.

RTÉ has agreed to talks with disability groups over the controversial decision to scrap the only radio programme dedicated to issues around blindness.

RTE bosses rolled out a new weekday schedule today in a bid to entice more listeners to tune into Radio One.

CAMPAIGNERS battling to stop RTÉ dropping its only programme devoted to the blind have set up an online petition to try to persuade the national broadcaster to change its mind.

Broadcaster and football pundit Eamon Dunphy is to join RTE Radio in the autumn hosting a new show once a week, it emerged today.

WITH the cancellation of Rattlebag, the Creedon Show and the Mystery Train, the new head of Radio 1, Ana Leddy, will have made the lives of thousands of listeners just that tiny little bit less bearable.

I AGREE with your arts editor Ian Kilroy about the dumbing down of Radio 1 (Irish Examiner, May 27)) and wonder where Ana Leddy is going with her hiring and firing?

The experienced legal affairs journalist Mary Wilson is to take up the job of presenting RTE’s Drivetime programme on Radio One, it emerged tonight.

AFTER Ryan Tubridy, can RTÉ Radio 1 get any more inane? Well, with its newly announced schedule, it just has.

WHEN Ana Leddy takes up her new role as head of RTÉ Radio 1 on March 6, she will be all too conscious that the latest Joint National Listenership Research figures show that her job will not be the most enviable in Irish radio.
