A SECOND high profile personality at Highland Radio also quit the station just days before Charlie Collins, it has emerged.
Steven Lynch left the station two weeks ago – but most fans of the popular DJ didn’t know until Collins left on Monday.
Lynch has been fielding messages on his Facebook page.
It has also emerged that Kevin Collins, a son of Charlie’s, left the station earlier this year after 14 years with the Letterkenny-based station.
Fears are growing that more people may quit in coming weeks over differences with the station’s Galway-based owners.
“Morale is very low,” admitted one insider at the station.
“People were gutted when Steven left and Charlie leaving on Monday has made things a lot worse. Who knows what will happen next? There could be more resignations or redundancies. It’s not looking good.”
Steven posted a special ‘thank you’ on his Facebook page to listeners who contacted him
“It’s been a sad day but it was brightened by all the kindness you have shown,” he wrote.
“To Packie Keeney for always being a great friend, nothing is too much trouble for Packie. Thanks also to the rest of the staff at Highland, a great gang to work with and I’ve cemented many friendships in the 9 years I’ve worked there, which I know will last a lifetime. Hopefully it will not be too long into the future before I find another job in radio & we’ll do it all over again.”
Fans responded with messages of support, one writing: “Highland dead without you now.”
Others vented their fury at the station, leaving various angry messages.
