98FM Dublin Talks: Adrian Kennedy and Jeremy Dixon to leave iconic show

Radio hosts Adrian Kennedy and Jeremy Dixon are to leave the Dublin Talks show on 98FM after seven years.

The highly popular shock jocks hosted their last show on Friday in a surprise move by the popular Dublin station.

Speculation swirled across the radio world last night that the pair would be finishing up today.

And the rumours were confirmed to be fact this morning as it was announced that the pair had hosted their final show.

The news will come as a shock to thousands of Dubliners who listened to the pair each weekday morning and enjoyed the banter between them both as they discussed the topic of the day.

Listeners were also encouraged to get involved and debate both on air and on social media.

The radio station will be moving to a more music format from Monday, 26 April.

The Sound of the City with Barry Dunne will now broadcast from 10am to 3pm and The Big Ride Home with Brian Maher will start at the earlier time of 3pm.

In a statement today, Michael Brett, 98FM Programme Director said: “I’d like to thank Adrian, Jeremy and the dedicated production team for their time at 98FM and their commitment to Dublin Talks. We wish them all the best in their future endeavours.”

Adrian Kennedy added: "We’ve spent a very enjoyable seven years with 98FM, presenting Dublin Talks.  We’ve covered all the big Dublin and National news stories in a unique way – airing the opinions of the nation’s capital.  We spent a very memorable two weeks ‘living in a box’ in the City Centre during 98FM’s Code Red and we were honoured to host the stations Best of Dublin Award. We’re most proud at having won two IMRO National Radio Awards along the way. Both Jeremy and I are already working on new projects for the future.”
