Letterkenny television presenter Ciara Doherty has revealed her next move in her hugely successful media career.
Ciara left Virgin Media several months ago after a hugely successful stint presenting The Tonight Show.
It followed a station restructuring in which Virgin bosses cut down the weekly output from four episodes to two.
Now Ciara has announced she will front a daily podcast show for Virgin Media.
The show will focus on the biggest news stories of the day in bite-size 20-minute episodes.
Ciara said in a video: “I am delighted to be joining Newstalk and am relishing the opportunity to launch a brand new offering, Newstalk Daily.
“From Monday to Friday we’ll be bringing listeners the stories, from home and abroad, that shape our lives and our futures, the stories that intrigue and entertain us and those you don’t get to hear.
“Informal but no less informed, podcasts have forever changed the media landscape and I’m looking forward, with the team, to creating something that engages and illuminates.”
Eric Moylan, Managing Editor of Newstalk said: “Newstalk Daily is an exciting addition to our podcast portfolio. The show will bring the elements of our daily output that make us a hit with listeners – a focus on topics that they really care about, presented in a manner that really connects.
“We’ve got a talented presenter in Ciara Doherty who will deliver the compelling and thought-provoking content listeners expect from the station. This launch marks the first in a series of appealing new projects to come from Newstalk and we’re really looking forward to its release.”
Last month, Ciara said she was enjoying her break from work and being a full-time mum.
