Ryan Tubridy says there is a 'whole other world' waiting for Joe Duffy
The veteran broadcaster announced this week that he is leaving RTÉ at the end of June. Ryan Tubridy has said that there is a 'whole other world' waiting for recently retired radio star Joe Duffy. The veteran presenter announced yesterday that he is set to leave RTÉ Radio1 in June. Working at the broadcaster for 37 years, he presented the flagship lunchtime show 'Liveline' for 27. Former colleague Ryan Tubridy reacted to the news on Instagram, sharing a black and white photo of them posing together with the caption: "I love to talk to Joe.' Joe Duffy, photographed for The Irish Independent's Weekend Magazine in 2018. (Photograph: © Fran Veale) News in 90 Seconds - May 9th 'Good man! One of our greatest broadcasters and thoughtful with it,' he continued. 'There's a whole other world waiting for Joe Duffy, here's to the next chapter.' Duffy announced the news at the end of his show on Thursday. "After 37 wonderful years here in RTÉ, and 27 years presenting Liveline, it has been an incredible honour and privilege to be part of a programme that relied entirely on trust: the trust of our listeners,' he said. "People felt they could pick up the phone, ring Liveline, and share their lives, problems, stories sad, bad, sometimes mad and funny, their struggles, and their victories. "I never took that for granted, not for a single minute. RTÉ has been a great place to work. Public service has always been at its heart,' he continued. "And now, after many happy years, I've decided the time has come to move on. I would like to thank you the listener for tuning in each and every day, it has been an honour to sit in this seat and hear your stories.' Tubridy left the national broadcaster in July 2023 when he stepped down from his role presenting The Late Late Show. His departure came in the wake of a payments scandal, which saw RTÉ face huge public scrutiny after it was revealed that they had underdeclared payments to him. The presenter, his agent Noel Kelly and several senior RTÉ executives and board members were called before an Oireachtas committee Following his departure from the broadcaster, Tubridy joined Virgin Radio UK, where he hosts The Ryan Tubridy Show from London on weekdays and Sundays. The show is also syndicated, broadcasting on Dublin's Q102 at the same time. He also hosts The Bookshelf with Ryan Tubridy podcast.
