From today, I'll be presenting the main talk show on i105-107. The station was launched last night by Tommy Tiernan and Hector O'Heochagain who'll present their own talk show every Friday.

My show 'The Third i' - a mix of politics, comedy, opinion and topicality - will be broadcast from 1pm - 4pm every weekday, throughout the Midlands and North East - or, as we're affectionately referring to it, 'The Middle East'. It will be repeated at 1am. (You can listen live at www.i105107.ie).

 Our first show features an interview with the legendary broadcaster and journalist Jon Snow, who's a personal hero of mine.

Obviously, planning and presenting a 3 hour show, five days a week will take a lot of my time, but I will still be performing live comedy at every opportunity.

Feedback on, or suggestions for, the show are always welcome. Contact Abie@i105107.ie
