Pat does a U-turn: Kenny’s back on the box for UTV

Veteran broadcaster Pat Kenny has taken another leap of faith in hopping aboard UTV Ireland to make a return to television early next year.

UTV Ireland revealed yesterday that the renowned broadcaster will present a peak-time series on Ireland’s newest TV channel.

However, Kenny, 66, will continue to work in radio on Newstalk, where he now has 134,000 listeners, according to the latest JNLR figures.
