‘The Morning Show with Kathryn Thomas on Dublin’s Q102 with Kildare Village’ launches this morning and will air each weekday morning, from 7am to 10am, heralding not just a new breakfast show on Dublin’s Q102 but a whole new look and feel, as well as a new schedule for the station.

 

As the ultimate feel good way to start your day, listeners to The Morning Show with Kathryn Thomas can look forward to a bright and energetic morning full of fun, surprises and plenty of laughs along the way. Kathryn will keep listeners up to date with all the latest news, covering stories that matter to Dubliners, along with weather and travel. And all of this is paired with feel good music that is guaranteed to brighten your morning, no matter what the weather! Fun features include ‘Brekkie’s Got Talent’, where children across Dublin can share their amazing talents on air and engaging games where listeners can win big prizes weekly. There’s something for everyone to enjoy as Kathryn wakes Dubliners up and brightens their day!

 

Broadcasting from Q102’s brand new visualised studios in Dublin, Kathryn will hand over to The Ryan Tubridy Show in association with Hyundai from 10am to 1pm, followed by Feel Good Afternoons with Liam Coburn from 1pm to 6.20pm.

Speaking about her new breakfast show, Kathryn said: “I’m absolutely thrilled to be joining Dublin’s Q102 and waking Dublin up every morning! We’ve been working hard over the last few weeks coming up with lots of ideas and building a show that I think Dubliners will truly love. As well as loads of brilliant tunes, there’s going to be plenty of fun, games and surprises to keep everyone entertained. Naturally it will evolve as I find my feet. It’s a big challenge but I’m relishing it. I’ve also been practicing the early morning starts and so far, I haven’t slept through my alarm clock once – so long may that last. The support from everyone at Dublin’s Q102 and the warm well-wishes from all over Dublin have been amazing. I’m so excited to get started!”

Vivienne Nagle, Managing Director, Dublin’s Q102, said: “The Morning Show with Kathryn Thomas on Dublin’s Q102 is part of a brand relaunch for the station, which includes a vibrant new logo and new strategic brand vision and values – always being curious, social and bright. Q102 is there to ‘brighten your day’ with engaging programmes, fresh entertainment and feel good music on both weekdays and weekends. Once we had set out our strategy, Kathryn was the obvious choice for breakfast and she will work hand in glove with Ryan who follows her show at 10am. Liam Coburn, a long standing Q102 presenter, will follow with ‘Feel Good Afternoon’s’ as well as other familiar Q102 presenters like Martin King at the weekend. 

I’m also thrilled to announce this morning that the new sponsor for The Morning Show with Kathryn Thomas, is the leading lifestyle retailer Kildare Village. This exciting partnership brings together two brands that share a passion for uplifting and engaging experiences. Listeners can look forward to exciting promotions over the coming year with Kildare Village.” 

Kathryn Thomas is one of Ireland’s best known and well-loved broadcasters, hosting hugely popular TV shows for RTÉ such as ‘No Place Like Home’ ‘My Body Fix’, ‘Operation Transformation’ and ‘The Voice of Ireland’. Kathryn currently co-hosts ‘The Rose of Tralee’ and, of course, began her journey as a globe-trotter and adventure lover on the much loved TV series ‘No Frontiers’. She also has a wealth of radio presenting experience, having worked on RTÉ Radio 1 over the years. More recently, Kathryn combined her passion for travel and well-being to set up her own business Pure Results, where she runs fitness and wellness retreats in Ireland and abroad.
