RAY FOLEY IS returning to Cork’s Red FM after leaving 98FM six months ago to concentrate on his television work.
Foley is now set to co-present a special 12 week series every Saturday morning with former colleague KC.
The presenter is currently co-hosting the 7 O’clock Show on TV3.
He announced he was leaving 98FM in December after three years at the Dublin station – citing plans to concentrate on his television work in the New Year.
The presenter joined the station after leaving Today FM back in 2012 after six years with the national station.
Foley said, “I’m delighted to be joining Cork’s number one radio station! I’ve been a fan of Red FM for many years because they’re one of the best radio stations in the country.”
I’ve had many brilliant Friday nights out in Cork city, so I should apologise in advance for waking everybody up on Saturday morning. I promise I’ll be gentle!
The presenter will be joining his old Today FM colleague Keith Cunningham (KC) at Red FM, saying:
“KC is an old buddy of mine so when he suggested coming on board for Saturday mornings I couldn’t believe it! Of course I said yes”.
The series starts this Saturday and will run until 17 September between 7am and 10am.

Over rated over hyped and full of his own BS
He is ultra zany, manic, happy with absolutely zero personality!
He’ll fit right in with Prenderville then.
The reason for that, Zig is his recent operation – he had a personality bypass, which was highly successful.
I was being too harsh, he is not the worst actually and I haven’t heard him on radio too much. Anything he did on telly was awful though. Give me this Ray over that other knob Ray D’arcy any day of the week.
Brilliant news. Another channel I won’t be able to hear him on.
Think he’s good to be honest. Who’s your cup of tea?
Meanwhile JP makes a KC voodoo doll in his basement.
I just clicked and went straight to the comments.
Is that not what everyone does – all the time?
Is red FM owned by the same people as the Journal?
I have switched from 96fm. They have turned into long wave radio Atlantic 252 playing the same 5 songs over and over. If I hear “once I was 7 years old” once more I will crash the car.
Did Cork do something wrong and this is its punishment?
They sure did , I got food poisoning twice in that awful dirty place and not even a sorry was directed my way . He will at least in some part torture them .
Do you usually wait around in restaurants long enough for the poisoning to take effect so that they can apologise to you? Or are you just annoyed that one of us didn’t shout sorry through the cubicle door later in the day?
What an absolute dose. Good riddance.
Great news. Egotistical gobsheen
So was he with redfm before and is returning to work there? Is it owned by communicorp??
Nosedive
How exiting. I could jump for joy at this fantastic news. I presume it will be the first item on the RTE news and on the front page of all the newspapers tomorrow morning. Congratulations Journal for being the first to get this scoop
The scoop with the poop….
Who?
he is a knob jockey
Any chance he’d take a job on the north pole? He’s an irritant of the highest pedigree.
I love red fm..sorry I used to love red fm.
Who gives a af#$k?
He is a good radio DJ ill give him that but by god he hasnt a face for TV.
Eh..Demotion…
Oh Jesus Christ noooooooooooooooooo !!!
If he’s not use he should be on half a million like tubridy and D’Arcy.
The drugs and the brazzers must be better down there.
And the pies.
I gave up listening to 98fm when he joined. Might give them a listen now and see what they’re like again.
Maybe we should have a referendum on cork ?
Cork’s not far away enough for him. Can anyone persuade Louise Duffy to join him please.
Jesus he’d wreck your head…like that Hector fella.
Being from Cork and living I don’t hear red fm any more. Thank God. Ray Foley was shite on today fm and now is inflicting himself on my home town. In Cork the will definitely call him a larger
Langer presumably?
Thank God
Ideally Today FM should get Ray back on air and send fag ash Lil to Cork
He’s not half as bad as chris nd ciara on 2fm
neil prendeville
Foley has never worked for Red FM before, so I don’t know how he can be “returning”. Not a fan of his presenting style in any case.
Muppet

Dont do this to us in cork ffs.
I hope they podcast. Ray is hilarious, downloaded his show every day on 98
Who
