BACK ON AIR…Radio presenter Sean Coyle told listeners last month his Radio Foyle show had been axed. Now he will back on the airwave a new radio show
The new programme will be presented by Sean until spring 2020.
Last month, the presenter was told that his weekday morning show was being axed as part of changes to the Radio Ulster schedule.
Mr Coyle thanked listeners for their support over the past fortnight and said he had been “overwhelmed” by the response.
He said “As a way of thanking them for their support, I’m going to be playing mine and their favourite songs on BBC Radio Foyle.
“We’ll be able to say a bit more about it soon and I hope that people will listen in and be part of it all.”
More details about the programme are to be released over the next few weeks.
Eddie Doyle, Senior Head of Production for BBC NI, said: “We had always hoped that Sean would continue presenting a regular show on the BBC for a bit longer and I’m pleased that we can now confirm this news.
“We know that Sean’s departure from the weekday morning schedule has concerned many listeners. None of that has been easy.”
