Colleagues at radio station back embattled broadcaster

BROADCASTER Neil Prendeville’s work colleagues at Cork’s 96FM radio station backed him yesterday and said they want him back on the air soon.

The radio station’s chief executive, Kieran McGeary, had no comment to make on the incident involving its high-profile star.

But Neil Prendeville Show producer Colm Moore, a regular stand-in presenter on the station’s flagship weekday show, said he fully supports the embattled 49-year-old broadcaster.
