Hearty Congratulations to a fellow Grover Marty Whelan and also one of our own on here. See Page 3 & also Pg 27 tonights Evening Herald. Pg. 3. Quote in part: Veteran star Marty Whelanwill host Winning Streak alongside Catherine Thomas the Herald can reveal and it continues..... Article by Mfinn Pg. 27 Quote in part: Montrose suits see error of their ways with Marty. You cannot keep a good man down. One of our favourite broadcasters, Marty Whelan is back spinning the discs, 2 years after he fell victim to Montrose mandarins who axed his 2FM am show at that time. and it continues. Article by Gerry O Carroll I am sure am joined by all here in wishing him the very best of luck in the future. Apart from being a wonderful, kind, loyal and a true gent - he has supported The Grove from day one. Anyone else wishing him well please add on your messages. You cannot beat GOOD NEWS. Welcome back to the telly and the airwaves. Love, Verona Edited by verh |

That really is good news. I wonder did our little petition a year or so back help? Good to see him on the air. |

Marty I am really delighted
to see that RTE has come to the realization that your star cannot be dimmed and now is your time to shine. You're one of our own and you have been very supportive of Cecil and this site over the years.Looking forward to hearing good quality music between Noon and 2 on Lyric FM. |

NEW Marty Whelan at Midday
Weekday lunchtimes have just got better. Marty Whelan presents a new daily lunchtime programme designed to lift the spirits and brighten your afternoon. The popular broadcaster says, “I’m absolutely delighted to be joining the already very strong RTÉ lyric fm daytime schedule and I’m very excited about this new show and the wonderful musical possibilities it presents.” Featuring all the great interpreters of 20th-century popular song alongside classical crossover, listeners will also get their daily fix of the fiendishly difficult all-new Common Denominator Quiz , with celebrity guest interviews and the featured ‘Album of the Week’, too. |

Fantastic news to hear Marty is back.
Echo everything Frank said. Too many gobsh*tes on the tv and radio. About time they brought back the decent ones people listen to. Well done Marty. |
