Former Wireless/UTV Radio CEO Ronan McManamy has been appointed as CEO of both Clare FM and Tipp FM.

Ronan McManamy said: “I am delighted to join Clare FM and Tipp FM as I am a huge believer in the power of local radio and the significant role it plays in local communities.
“Both stations are highly regarded throughout Counties Clare and Tipperary in this regard. The stations should be really proud of the critical role they have played in recent times despite the significant challenges brought by Covid-19.
