Ryan Tubridy to launch YouTube series after Virgin exit

On Friday, Ryan Tubridy presented his final programme on Virgin Radio UK and Dublin's Q102, announcing he is leaving the weekday mid-morning slot but will remain with News Broadcasting.
News Broadcasting said next year will introduce Tubridy's new slate, including a YouTube series and contributions to Times Radio, with The Late Show with Ryan Tubridy as the inaugural project.
Tubridy is also developing a show for talkSPORT, broadening his role into sports coverage, and will host a revamped weekend programme across the Onic network including Dublin's Q102, Cork's 96FM, Limerick's Live 95 and LMFM.
Virgin Radio UK and Dublin's Q102 are expected to announce new schedules next year, with Ryan Tubridy saying the move will let him be home more.
Observers point to YouTube's rising broadcast role and the Piers Morgan example as context for Tubridy's move, while talkSPORT's exclusive FIFA World Cup rights make 2026 a likely bumper year for the network.
