She will be at the helm of a new show
The national broadcaster confirmed Katie will fill the 10.30pm vacancy from January with a new current affairs programme, titled Upfront with Katie Hannon.
Sadly, Katie’s big move to television means she will no longer be hosting her regular RTE Radio 1 shows Late Debate and Saturday with Katie Hannon - however you will still catch her filling in for Joe Duffy’s Liveline from time to time.Stepping in for Katie on the political radio programmes from this December is a relatively unknown broadcaster from the station, Colm Ó Mongáin.
Currently Deputy Foreign Editor of RTÉ News, Colm will present Late Debate and Saturday with Colm Ó Mongáin. Colm is also the producer and co-host of RTÉ's Brexit Republic podcast, and produced and presented the Pandemic podcast, a daily half-hour podcast on the Covid-19 crisis.Colm has been a journalist with RTÉ News since 2006 and has reported from Israel, the Occupied Palestinian Territories, Mali, Ethiopia and from around Europe. He previously worked for TV3 and Newstalk.
“It’s a great time to be covering politics in Ireland and further afield and I can’t wait to bring listeners analysis and debate on the issues that affect them."Get the latest RSVP headlines straight to your inbox for free by signing up to our newsletter
