Ryan Tubridy has paid a visit to his new colleagues at Dublin’s Q102 studios ahead of the launch of his new UK-based show.
The former Late Late Show host's new Virgin Radio radio show will be broadcast simultaneously on both the UK and Dublin stations. Q102 and FM104 are part of the Wireless network, which owns several radio stations across Ireland, along with Virgin Media UK and News UK, whose newspaper titles include The Times, The Sunday Times, and The Sun.
Ryan's upcoming show will air on Virgin Radio UK and Dublin’s Q102 every weekday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Writing on Instagram, the former RTÉ host shared his excitement for the new opportunity, thanking his Q102 co-workers for their warm welcome and expressing his readiness for January 2024.

The former late late show host also took time to connect with the hosts of FM104’s popular morning show, the Strawberry Alarm Clock, describing the experience as "so much fun."
In a recent interview with The Irish Sun, he spoke highly of his agent, Noel Kelly, stating that he negotiated the best deal for his move to Virgin Radio. Ryan emphasized his loyalty to Kelly, confirming that there is "no question" he will remain his agent, describing him as a "friend" and "the best in the land."
Despite Director General Kevin Bakhurst leaving the door open for Tubb's return to RTÉ, he firmly ruled out such a possibility, asserting that Virgin Radio is his "new home" and that he sees no reason to go back to RTÉ as he embarks on a new chapter in London.
