Could Anna Daly be the next voice of Liveline?
Anna Daly has confirmed she threw her hat in the ring to succeed Joe Duffy on Liveline, following his retirement earlier this summer. The former Ireland AM presenter, who has been cutting her teeth on radio in recent months by filling in for Anton Savage and Andrea Gilligan, revealed she would 'love the challenge' of stepping into one of RTÉ's most high-profile roles. Since Duffy announced he was hanging up the mic after a number of years at the helm, speculation has been rife about who might inherit the lunchtime slot. Now, Daly has put herself forward, joining a growing list of familiar names linked to the gig. Anna Daly has confirmed she's threw her hat in the ring to succeed Joe Duffy on Liveline, following his retirement earlier this summer. Pic: Brian McEvoy Speaking to Magazine+,about if she applied for the gig, she said: 'I did, I certainly did. 'I'd imagine there's stiff competition going on, but listen, I've a lot of live TV and now radio experience, so why not? 'It's gone through my own agent, and then they put out the expression of interest, so I imagine that cast the net wider again. If people hadn't been in the mix previously, that would have invited more names to come in … it'll be very interesting to see who gets [the job].' Joe Duffy presenting his final farewell show in Studio 1 at the RTÉ Radio Centre. Pic: Andres Poveda 'There will never be another Joe. I've listened to Joe for years and I think he is a genius in terms of how he'll pare something back, and get so much more out of the guests than you would ever anticipate at the start,' Anna confessed. 'I think he's just brilliant, so the new person, whoever takes over, will [have to] put their stamp on it and it will be a new era. I don't think you can try and copy someone's style like that, it doesn't work.' After years of speculation about what his post-RTÉ career might hold – from setting up shop in the Áras to whispers of a switch to rival stations – Joe Duffy has finally revealed his first move: fronting Lidl's latest advertising campaign. The longtime broadcaster has taken a theatrical turn, starring in a tongue-in-cheek ad that sees him portraying a detective probing suspiciously low prices. The campaign, titled 'Value Beyond Belief', is the first in a three-part online series marking the launch of Lidl's new rewards app.
