ADRIAN KENNEDY WILL have to ease back substantially on the f-bombs as he heads to 98fm to present a mid morning weekday 10am to midday show.
Beloved of insomniacs, late night workers and – in general – people with suprisingly strong opinions on everything from immigration to UFO sightings over Meath: the presenter has helmed the late night slot on rival Dublin station FM104 since the late nineties.
Kennedy and co-presenter/producer Jeremy Dixon will take up their new roles from early 2014.
The move will be seen a big coup for the Communicorp-owned station which has flagged behind 104 in the JNLR listenership figures in recent years. The company recently moved Ray Foley from his popular Today FM show in a bid to boost ratings in the high-profile breakfast slot.
There’s no word as yet as to how the move will affect the existing line-up at 98, which currently sees DJ Barry Dunne helm a five hour slot between the breakfast show and the Dermot and Dave afternoon show.
Communicorp CEO Gervaise Slowey – who has been busy recently with Pat Kenny’s defection to Newstalk – had this to say in a statement:
I am delighted to welcome Adrian and Jeremy to the team. The arrival of The Adrian Kennedy phoneshow reaches right into the heartland of our target audience.There is a clear gap in the market for a Dublin-focused, mid-morning phone show and this addition to 98FM will add to our exciting on-air offering.

Next week. Iodine in pregnancy causes your baby to grow two arses.
@DaisyMay: They’re called twins lol.
This article is little less than covert advertising. It is likely to create unnecessary alarm to those who are pregnant while unlikely to make a demonstrable difference in the outcome of their pregnancies. Can the author provide any evidence published in the scientific literature to support the assertions that a nutritional assessment is of benefit?
@diarmuid o’riain: I always remember Dara O’Briain’s comment that a Nutritionist is to a Dietitian what a “Toothologist” is to a Dentist. Show the evidence based, peer reviewed science please
Yup, another opinion piece. I’ll wait for the science.
Why say “can” boost how your child’s brain develops when the evidence is supposedly very clear?
@Toon Army: because she is a genuine expert in the field. Only somebody trying to sell you something will make absolute claims like that.
@K Lawlor: “Genuine Expert”?
Nutritionists are not regulated by law – anybody can call themselves a nutritionist.
Dietitians might be what you are thinking of.
I stopped reading when I saw that the article is the opinion of a “nutritionist”.
@Kinsaleable: That’s our malnourishment talking. Aren’t we sorry now that we didn’t eat more seaweed dipped in sewage? Imagine all the ecoli we could have in our bodies now.
What if you take those out of date nuclear bomb shielding iodine tablets the government sent us years ago, when ‘duck and cover’ was proven insufficient?
Guys! Guys! She’s a SENIOR nutritionist. Show some respect!
Cut out all the sh-t. A little if everything, a balanced diet. Problem solved.
Boost brain development, no amount of supplements is going to push them past the intelligent level constrained by their genetics – or is it not PC to acknowledge that intelligence levels naturally vary across a population
