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.

Nobody wants to listen to Jeremy at that hour of the day.
Nobody wants to listen to Jeremy ever. He is the sole reason I droped listening to that program. Ever hear him loseing his temper. He sounds like a horse in heat.
Their show is like joe duffys, but for complete skangers
As one of my friends told me a while back, “A prime example of a face for radio”
Im no fan of 98fm or ray foley so i was delighted when he went there and this is even better.maybe if we send communicorp a list of presenters we all dislike they can just house them on 98fm and save us listening at all!
A ‘mid morning’ show won’t be the same….it won’t suck in the same level of crazies as when the sun goes down
I’m not a muppet… Your a bleedin muppet….!
Never heard of either of them..
Aren’t you fortunate…
Pat kenny will be delighted.
He will surely benefit from it!
Worst radio show ever.
Couldn’t agree more Vincent. I used to troll the hell out of his show. I would ring up and pretend to be a disgruntled taxi driver. But on every issue except taxi issues.
They bought it every time, I’d just come out with cliche after cliche and would have an argument in a room on my own. They loved it.
Some people just want to watch the world burn I suppose.

Is it worse than chris green on I radio? Now there’s a serious head melt
@Brendan
Picture me with a saucepan on my head, sitting in a large cardboard box moaning into the phone. Kavinsky on blast. Life is good.
Well that’s embarrassing.
I always picture you with a saucepan on your head and sitting in a large box ;).
Ah for f**k sake !
98 fm???????
J Dixon is a complete gimp. I ask when is his balls going to drop.
I salute you on this one nidge, he’s the most annoying presenter in the history of Irish radio.
He trys to hard to be something he isnt. A man.
Ur man Lenny with KC on today FM is a worthy competitor for the title of most annoying man on the planet…..really REALLY unfunny
I’ll have to turn off 98fm so from 10am.
Any driving bans lately Adrian….?
Adrian is a hardman. Dont mess with him. His bird is from Finglas.
98 fm bores me to tears so does jeremy and half the stuff on the Adrian Kennedy show is staged if u ask me, bye lads
Same clowns ring in every night also. Sam the mouth and Jude the posh coward. Rubbish..
I was just getting back into listening to 98fm thanks to the departure of the woeful Aidan and Claire in the mornings. Now they bring on this gobsh**te, great!!
It’s funny how the people giving out seem to know so much about the show…clearly listening to it… Good look lads
*luck
No facilities Adrian…
Well l will miss them,if you take the show at face value it can be very funny.l know its not every ones cup of tea but some of the callers are so far up their own butt they could clean their teeth from the in side.l can not listen to the radio during the day so its bye bye boys,it was good knowing you,
SPIN 1038 is by far the worst radio station in Dublin…..
Jaysus lads a lot of negative stuff here today! Best of luck to ‘em!!
You know all about crap radio Ever listen to Boylan? What a fool Comes across as hard man hiding behind his mic Very dated radio and very much aimed at the brain dead
Does anybody know anyone who seriously rang into that show? If he has taken 10 callers a show 5 nights a week for like 15 years then you would expect everyone in Ireland would know 2 or 3 people who’ve been on.
It’s definitely staged with a few actors ringing in to put on an accent and dribble out some mindless cliches
I’m gonna miss the lads think Adrian is a gent and love the show ❤
An example of what might be said on the show “Mary says “Hi Im just ringing yo say that last caller was great doing dat charity work” Next caller Tony says ” Ye see Mardy der?,shes only a mupped!!!”
does,n matter who they work for, irish radio stations pure shite 24/7. but at end of day good on yas lads best of luck
Q102 all the way!
Me transit would kill yer hiace..see ya on theM50 then….i know where ya live…ya w***er..
Should be a laugh at 10 am..
Pity the two of them aren’t leaving the airways for good! Two little weasels!
A Donkey and an Ass. They staged their stupid show.
Jeremy Dixson is annoying arrogant and the biggest s”"t stirrer on radio….. That’s why he is on radio he does what he is there to do annoy the hell out of everyone and he does it well
They should take him off the Radio altogether, he is so unprofessional.
Only thing I will miss is the Halloween specials.
I dropped this show for Nial Boylan on 4fm. There’s something funnier about the show, even if they don’t think they’re being funny.
Didn’t his predecessor make the same move a long time back?
Im surprised and dont know why!!
Jesus, Jeremy Dixon is one giant pain in the rectum.
Heuhr yeou whar’ever yer name is…yeou don’t even knooow meee. I’m a grea’ f%ckin mother to all 5 of my childeren. And I’m doin me leavin cert dis yehur too. I’m sor’y for swearin again Adrian, it’s just he’s a f%ckin Muppeh’
Ah what the F%@#…
Raging….
I’ve never heard of these guys, I suppose it’s because I don’t listen to “modern pop music”
It’s because you don’t live in Dublin
Clearly you dont read “modern news articles” either because it says in there that they host a talk show. In fact, you’re probably one of their target audience, all mouth, no brains. Well done mate!
Wow choose love !
You seem more their target audience andrea!
Oh boy PWNED !
Ohhh gawd
When the lads leave I would love to take their place 1 reason im unemployed and could do with the job. Secondly I could be better……….haha
Devo!
The mid morning moan. Can’t wait…
have your say
