Breaking News: Ryan Tubridy is stepping away from Virgin Radio UK, but he's far from done! This is a story about change, new beginnings, and the ever-evolving world of media.
On Friday, it was announced that Ryan Tubridy would be departing from his weekday slot at Virgin Radio UK. But what's next for this well-known personality? The answer is a multifaceted approach, showcasing his adaptability in the media landscape.
First up, Tubridy is launching a YouTube channel called The Late Show with Ryan Tubridy. This show promises to delve into the lives of iconic figures from film, music, sports, and television. He'll be joined by journalists, authors, and experts who knew these stars intimately. This move to YouTube highlights the growing importance of online platforms in the entertainment industry.
But that's not all! The Late Show will also be broadcast on Times Radio, demonstrating Tubridy's continued presence in traditional radio. Furthermore, News Broadcasting, the parent company of Virgin Radio UK, announced that Tubridy will be contributing more to Times Radio in the coming months.
Adding to his busy schedule, Tubridy is also developing a new show for talkSPORT, a UK sports news and opinion network. And, he'll be hosting a new weekend show across the Onic network in Ireland, which includes popular stations like Dublin’s Q102, Cork’s 96FM, Limerick’s Live 95, and LMFM.
Speaking about his new ventures, Tubridy expressed his excitement: “I am extremely excited about today’s news and the opportunity to work again in the world of speech radio, with YouTube channels and with the Onic network in Ireland. As we saw earlier this week with the Oscars Ceremony moving to YouTube, the media world is changing so fast and this is an opportunity to do what I do best with the best content creators in the world. It is with great gratitude that I finish my two years at Virgin Radio UK, where I had the time of my life with the greatest bunch of people. They made me feel welcome and valued which I will never forget, but I can’t wait to get started on these shows. Here’s to 2026.
