SEÁN REIDY has announced his exit from Marconi House bringing an end to his ten year stint with radio stations including Newstalk, Today FM and Spin.
Shannon native Seán had been a senior producer with Newstalk, working on Moncrieff which is fronted by Seán Moncrieff before leaving the station. Prior to this, he held the same role on Lunchtime Live presented by Andrea Gilligan.
Before the move to Newstalk, Reidy spent three and a half years as part of the production team for the Dermot & Dave Show on Today FM. His radio career in the capital commenced at Spin 103.8 after moving from Clare FM.
During his time as producer of Moncrieff, the show hit an all-time high number of weekly listeners as per the JNLR report of August 2023. The most recent report in August 2024 saw Moncrieff record a 3,000 increase in listeners to 108,000.
On his departure from the world of radio, Seán stated, “Today marks the end of my time at Bauer Media. From a young age I’d tell anyone who’d listen that I wanted to work in radio. To have the opportunity to be part of the Spin, Today FM and Newstalk teams over the last decade has been unbelievable. This job has brought me to all four corners of Ireland and around the world”.
He paid tribute to the presenters he worked during this time including Andrea Gilligan, Dave Moore, Seán Moncrieff and Dermot Whelan. “To Andrea, Dave, Sean and Dermot, thank you for trusting me with your programs and always encouraging my creative and sometimes mad ideas. Those ideas wouldn’t have been a success without the help of top-class editors, researches, producers, marketing teams and more. Thank you Marconi House for being such an exciting place to work and for giving me lifelong friends”.
While Seán is leaving radio, he is staying within the media industry and is set to enter the world of podcasting. He is a past pupil of St Conaires NS and St Caimin’s Community School in Shannon while he graduated from the Dublin Business School.
