They have been on our Dublin airwaves for quite a while now but two of our favourite DJs are making the move to a national station. This afternoon, Today Fm has confirmed that Dermot and Dave will be moving to the station. The duo who have been with 98fm for 12 years will move to Today Fm in August of this year. The pair currently host the afternoon slot on 98fm. Originally members of 98fm's Morning Crew, Dermot Whelan and Dave Moore moved to the afternoon slot on the station which runs from 4pm-7pm. Their regular pieces include skits like The Toll Trolls and the brilliant Cheese and Crackers. As well as being one half of radio’s loveable twosome, comedian Whelan has hosted RTE’s Republic of Telly and was a regular on The Panel. On the comedy circuit, Dermot has performed at both Kilkenny’s Cat Laughs and the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Commenting on the news, Dave Moore said: “98fm gave us the chance to develop and grow. But taking the chemistry that Dermot and I have to the entire country on Today FM is an amazing opportunity. It’s the station we've admired for years and we know we'll really enjoy making more great radio every weekday and we hope Ireland enjoys it too!” Dermot Whelan added: “Other broadcasters have come knocking over the years to try and attract us away but to be honest, the creative track record and reputation of Today FM over so many years made it a simple enough decision to join their stellar line-up. “We’re very excited about moving to Today FM and look forward to having the craic with a wonderful national audience”. Speaking about the duo’s move to Today FM, Peter McPartlin, CEO of Today FM said: “Today FM has always prided itself on a strong line-up of personalities that are loved by listeners right across the country. Given their pedigree, it’s a real coup for us to add Dermot and Dave to that existing pool of talent. We’re all very excited about what this pair will bring to the station”. There has been no word as of yet on who will be take over the slot in 98fm.
