"I am fierce excited to join RTÉ Radio 1 every morning for the hallowed hour of 9am - not least as it will finally stop every person I meet from asking about it. "Mostly though, because 2024 is set to be the best possible year for being part of the national conversation, with seminal moments in elections, sport and culture coming. "I plan to keep the comedy going, to celebrate Irish books, music and history and get serious when we need to. "I can also promise to keep all on-air mentions of Monaghan to a minimum, like its legendary football, poetry and poultry."Head of RTÉ Radio 1 Peter Woods also said of Callan: "Oliver is an accomplished broadcaster, who already has a connection with the RTÉ Radio 1 audience. "He is starting a new journey with us now and he will have the full support of the RTÉ Radio 1 team in a programme that will bear his inimitable stamp." The announcement comes the same month as Ryan Tubridy made his debut presenting his new show at Virgin Radio UK. Join JOE’s WhatsApp community for first access to news, updates, and quizzes.
