This RTÉ Radio 1 presenter is leaving their show - VIP Magazine

After approximately 40 years with RTÉ Ronan Collins is leaving his show on Radio 1.

The broadcasting legend announced that he will be leaving Radio 1 on the 23rd of December and signing off for the last time on The Ronan Collins Show, which he began presenting in 1985. Speaking on the departure he said, “I’ve been working on afternoon radio on RTÉ Radio 1 for nearly 38 years, plus six years before that on Radio 2, and nobody will ever know how grateful I have been for all the opportunities over the past 40 years and going forward with RTÉ.“I often ask myself ‘how much longer can I continue to do this?,’ and the answer always is ‘just keep going.

Head of RTÉ, Peter Woods, also shared his thoughts on the departure, “Ronan Collins is a legend on Irish radio. He has fronted the biggest music programme in the country and leaves it at the top of his game. He has had a career that is unlikely to be paralleled or exceeded at any time in the future – playing discs on national radio for 44 years.
