Who could replace the mid-morning behemoth in the RTÉ Radio One Schedule? Pat Kenny has been broadcasting in that slot since the early 1980s: Today with Pat Kenny is a show that is built around his ability to commandeer RTÉ’s substantial news ship once Morning Ireland ends with the 9am news.
While sneered at for his stewardship of the Late, Late Show, there are few that will deny his perspicacity when it came to current affairs interviewing. Kenny is also singular in that, Frontline tweets aside, he is perceived as broadly balanced and regularly sought out by embattled politicians seeking fair play. And while he was cringe inducing doing TV light entertainment, he pulls it off with gentlemanly aplomb on Today with PK.
