Claire Byrne took over the Today programme from Sean O'Rourke in 2020. She previously hosted Claire Byrne Live on RTÉ 1 for over seven years. Her 10am-12pm Monday to Friday radio slot will be taken over by David McCullough later this year. Pat Kenny announced his Newstalk show will move to weekends in the new year and confirmed his contract with the station into 2026. Kenny will continue his current Monday to Friday slot until the change, will join the board of Bauer Media Audio Ireland, and has other ventures planned with Newstalk and Bauer.
Kenny will continue to host his current Monday to Friday slot from 9am to 12pm, and it has also been announced he has "a number of other ventures planned with Newstalk and Bauer" to be revealed at a later date. He will also be joining the board of Bauer Media Audio Ireland. "I want to share a little bit of news with you," he told listeners on The Pat Kenny Show on Friday.
" I've just extended my Newstalk contract into 2026 so this show will continue unchanged into the new year but in the spring of next year, I'm moving the Pat Kenny Show to the weekends, Saturday and Sunday, where I hope to make a big impact for the station. "So, the reason for saying this is I just want to thank all of you for helping to make this show the biggest show on commercial radio. But for now, the shows goes on"
