Comedian Neil Delamere has joined the team at Today FM.
The Offaly man appeared on The Anton Savage Show earlier today to break the news.
Delamere will host Neil Delamere’s Sunday Best on the national station from mid-April.
The announcement comes in the wake of a new advertising campaign for the station, which suggests a horse is actually the brains of the operation and all presenters are merely actors.
According to station representatives, Delamere’s new two-hour show, “will take a look at the week’s events, not just current affairs stories but also the wider happenings of the week, in a light-hearted and intelligent way. The format is one that will be relaxed but well informed.”
Speaking about his move to Today FM, Neil said, “It’s a real thrill having my own show on Today FM. The station gave me my first radio opportunity when I covered for Ian Dempsey way back when and I’m really looking forward to getting started. The aim with ‘Sunday Best’ is to offer listeners something different to the typical Sunday fare. It will offer clever and thought-provoking content that is not solely dictated by the news cycle. I’m confident that we’ll strike the right tone with our listeners through a combination of that slightly different take on the big stories, innovative feature pieces and new expert contributors as well as big name guests.”
