Ray D'Arcy to Leave RTÉ Radio 1 After 11 Years

Ray D’Arcy ends his RTÉ Radio 1 show after 11 years, sharing thousands of hours of live broadcasts that highlighted Irish music and community stories.

  • Ray D’Arcy hosted his last broadcast of The Ray D’Arcy Show on RTÉ Radio 1 on October 9, 2025, bringing his eleven-year tenure to a close.
  • This departure followed meetings earlier in the week regarding his contract renewal, which quickly broke down without agreement.
  • RTÉ confirmed that The Ray D'Arcy Show will be ending and thanked D'Arcy for his eleven years of service to the broadcaster.
  • In August, the show had an average daily audience of around 182,000 listeners. Patricia Monahan, RTÉ’s Director of Audio, expressed her gratitude to Ray for his years of service to RTÉ Radio 1.
  • Shay Byrne will fill in for the rest of the week, and RTÉ will announce an updated lineup in the near future.
