End of an Era as John Murray bids farewell to RTÉ Radio 1

The John Murray Show on RTÉ Radio 1 wrapped for good today as colleagues and friends joined him in studio one last time.

The news broke last week that his slot would come to an end and Brendan O’Connor will take over for the month of July.

“I’d like to think this bond wouldn’t easily be broken,” John said to his loyal listeners.

“I think we’d all agree it’s been a great adventure from start to finish.  There have been very few dull days.  I’m proud of what we’ve achieved in that time,” he added. 

In a statement released last week the 50-year-old said “It has been a pleasure and a privilege to present the show for the last 5 years,”.

Colleagues of John took to twitter today to thank the radio presenter and wish him well on his next adventure.

“John Murray has been a true gentleman to work with over the past five years and I’m really going to miss the fun we’ve had in the mornings,” wrote colleague Colm Flynn. 

“All good things must come to an end. The last minutes of @johnmurrayshow. #EndOfAnEra,” another colleague Pat O’Mahoney added.

Since the news broke, speculations suggest that Kathryn Thomas or Ryan Tubridy may take over the slot once Brendan finishes up at the end of July.
