Polls closed at 9am this morning.

It was a bad night for the favourite, ‘Blacked-up Child’ and the several Late Late Toy Show contributions.

But the horrific RTE Radio 1 Charlotte Church incident was overwhelmingly chosen As YOUR favourite toe-pretzeling moment during Pat Kenny’s career with RTE.

He was a giant.

Pat Kenny commented:

“Like many of my colleagues, I have always regarded Newstalk as a valuable source of news and comment. I am delighted to have the opportunity to contribute to the growth of Newstalk and to be part of a new team where, hopefully, my experience will also add value. I am relishing the challenge ahead and looking forward to a new chapter in my career, with the world of independent broadcasting, helping to develop Newstalk into the talk radio of choice for listeners countrywide.”

This.

Changes.

EVERYTHING.

pkFrom the RTE archives, Pat Kenny with a ‘computer’ during one of the General Elections of 1982.

Then it was considered clunky, overpriced and appealing to a tiny niche market.

But enough about Pat.

Name that computer, anyone?

Mr Worf writes:

Excerpt from Pat Kenny’s Presidential Election day radio broadcast in which he cuts across his guest, Noel Whelan to take ultimate responsibility [on behalf of  Frontline] for the outcome. A bit of a hostage to fortune considering the circumstances.

Gulpa.
