Dave Duke, Today FM presenter, said: ‘’This is the culmination of a lifelong ambition to be one of the voices of national radio in Ireland and what a dream to do it with the powerhouse that is Today FM.

"It's an honour to join the station and I am so happy to be doing it alongside my radio sidekick of 7 and a half years. Radio remains such an important and powerful part of so many people's lives every single day. It's a privilege to play a part in that. The station may be changing, but Dave & Fionnuala remain the same.’’

Fionnuala Corbett, Today FM presenter, added: ‘’Getting to be part of Today FM feels quite unbelievable, but it’s massively exciting and a true privilege.

"Over the years I've loved hearing how the station always delivers really fun and entertaining radio for listeners. I can’t wait for Dave and I to bring our show to the line up and to connect with a whole new audience.’’
