Ray Foley is the new voice of afternoons on Today FM.
Ray is no stranger to Today FM listeners, having presented a multi-award-winning show for many years previously.
One of Ireland’s biggest radio personalities, Ray will bring fun to weekday afternoons, playing the music you love and delivering a show that has everything audiences are hungry for.
Commenting on his big move to afternoons on Today FM, Ray Foley said: "You just can’t imagine how excited I am to start afternoons on Today FM, I’m so buzzing to get started with a brand-new show. Every day for the last nine years, my key card for the building hasn’t worked, so we might need to get that looked at. Our last song in 2012 was Example - We’ll Be Coming Back For You One Day and now we are!”
But that's not all - Pamela Joyce will also be moving from evenings to midday as she hosts her own lunchtime show.
Pamela has been a regular voice on programmes across Today FM and has gained a social following for her Cardi P musical skits on Dermot & Dave.
On her move to lunchtime, Pamela said: “I am beyond and excited and honoured to have my name above the door at lunchtimes on Today FM. This is a huge step for me personally and professionally and I can’t wait to sink my teeth into the show. You can expect all the best tunes, loads of craic and plenty of divilment. I can’t wait to keep the listeners company through their lunchtime.”
The new schedule will also see Early Breakfast presenter Paula MacSweeney take up a new slot in the evenings, while Ian Dempsey adds an extra hour to his morning show.
Paula commented: “After ten years of early starts, I'm switching over to the dark side - literally! I am so excited to bring all the fun we have on Early Breakfast to evenings... and I'm also excited to knock that 3.30am alarm clock off!”
Completing the schedule changes is news that the Ian Dempsey Breakfast Show will now broadcast for an extra hour each morning with a new start time of 6am. Well used to setting the alarm clock for the middle of the night, Ian is thrilled to wake up the nation that bit earlier.
“I’m going to try and still get up at the same time (5am) but just do things quicker at home! There will be days that I may have forgotten to brush my hair (nobody will notice that!) but I hope we can bring our famed music, entertainment, information and positivity to our legendary listeners whenever they wake up!”
The revamped schedule on Today FM will come into effect in early February.
