Happy #WorldRadioDay26. It all began for me as a 15 year old in 1987. And I still have the same love and passion for this fantastic sector

Looking forward to heading to the Celtic Ross Hotel this evening for the #WestCorkSportStar Awards. Always a time to remember the legendary @c103cork.bsky.social commentator Paudie Palmer who we lost three years ago this month.
Tributes are being paid to the legendary Cork singer, Seรกn OโSรฉ who has died. Hereโs a video clip that I recorded on my phone at @c103cork.bsky.social studios in Bandon in 2011 when he took part in the recording of the final โAn Scrรญochtโ programme presented by Bob Jennings.
Is this the โthermometer of the futureโ? It can do more than just check your temperature
One week to go. Time to give the Christmas tie a runout ๐คฃ
Spiced Beef sandwich for lunch today. It must be Christmas in Cork ๐๐ ๐ผ๐คช
It pays to read the description carefully before buying anything on @amazon. I just bought a 2025 Diary Refill in mid-Nov 25 thinking it was a 2026 one ๐ก. Yes, I still run a paper diary. But I also have my Google calendar synced across my iPhone, two iPads and MacBook.
The BBC I joined was far from perfect, but it was self-aware. It asked difficult questions of itself as well as others. That culture of reflection is what must now be rebuilt | โ๏ธ Jo Coburn
It must be nearly Christmas! My copy of the Holly Bough has arrived. Many thanks to @echolive.bsky.social ๐๐งโ๐
19 years ago today, I started in my current role as CEO of Corkโs 96FM & C103. As I set out this morning on the first commute of my 20th year, I did a quick calculation and reckon I have driven circa 1.2 million kilometres between Waterford and Cork so far ๐
And rightly so too Dr. Creedon
Congratulations to @johncreedon.bsky.social on the award of an honorary doctorate from @ucc.ie Richly deserved.

Thereโs no need to have two separate smartphone Apps for Corkโs 96FM and C103 anymore.
From today, you can download the new Onic Player and bring both radio stations (plus many more) with you wherever you go.
A shock today to hear fhis sad news. RIP Mary Hopkins

Wishing every success to our son Callum who starts his Masters today at @micireland.bsky.social in Limerick.
In Ypres, Belgium to tick an item off the bucket list: attending the nightly Last Post ceremony at the Menem Gates memorial
It's funny to be in love with something for more than twenty years and the love never fades. Will always love seeing true tailors at work. Unfortunately these sorts of small shops continue to disappear.

Very proud of the sport; news; digital; promotions and on-air teams at Corkโs 96FM and C103 who covered every exciting minute of the road to Croke Park. Our team has been consistently supporting Cork GAA for more than three decades and weโll continue to in the years ahead.
Great to spend some time in Cork with this broadcasting legend who presented his Virgin Radio UK national radio show from Corkโs 96FM and C103โs home at Broadcasting House this morning.
30 years ago today, I married the love of my life. Three decades have flown by too quickly. Iโm a very lucky guy.
So what happened to Trumps pledge to end the war within days of taking office ?
Great to be at the launch of Live At The Marquee 2025 earlier and to hear from promoter, Peter Aiken. This is the 20th event and it gets underway tonight with Picture This. Upcoming shows include The Coronas; Dara OโBriain; Tommy Tiernan; The Waterboys; Olly Murs and many more.
That should say 40 and not 45 !!
Happy Birthday to BBC Radio Bedfordshire (now BBC Three Counties Radio) which launched 45 years ago today. I had the pleasure of working there part-time in the very early 90โs while at college in Luton. Some years later, I did a stint freelancing in the newsroom. Happy memories
Why do politicians (and/or their advisors) think itโs clever to not give a direct response to an interviewers question ? If there is a specific reason e.g. security why you canโt answer - just say so. This guy keeps damaging his reputation the further the brilliant Nick Ferrari rightly presses him
Great to see this campaign come together across Cork City and County
Weโve just ordered pizza online to be delivered. Then my mobile rings:
Me: Hello
Caller: This is XXX Pizza. I want to confirm your address. Is it XXXX.
Me: Yes
Caller: And can I get a phone number from you in case my driver needs to contact you.
Me: Eeeeh - the one you have called ๐คทโโ๏ธ๐คทโโ๏ธ
