MRS Brown Boys star Danny O’Carroll is to take on a new presenting role at Highland Radio.
O’Carroll, who plays Buster in the hit TV comedy, will present a new afternoon show on the Letterkenny-based station, alongside Aine Sweeney.
The programme, which starts on January 5, will run from 3.30pm to 5.30pm each day.
It is part of a revised line-up of shows on Highland Radio.
Speaking about the changes, Highland Radio CEO Sean Quinn said: “This new schedule reflects where our listeners are today and what they’re looking for at key moments of the day.
“Highland Radio has been part of people’s daily lives for more than 35 years, and that connection means a lot to us.
“These changes are about moving with our audience so we can stay by their side for the next 35 years and beyond.
“Bringing in Danny and Áine for a brand-new Drivetime show adds something completely fresh, and adjusting our existing shows gives each programme the space it needs to shine.
“It’s an exciting step for the station, and we’re looking forward to starting the new year with renewed energy.”
Highland Radio’s updated schedule goes live on January 5.
From 6.30am to 9am, The Naughty Alarm Clock with Lee Gooch will continue in its usual slot.
At 9am, Greg Hughes takes to the airwaves with The Greg Hughes Show. As part of the new schedule, the show will run for two hours, instead of the current three.
