Longtime Saturday and Sunday AM presenter has quit the show

It comes as TV3 changes to Virgin Media.

Tommy Martin has decided to quit Saturday and Sunday AM. Tommy has been with the show since it began in 2015, however, he has decided to focus on other projects when TV3 turns to Virgin Media later this month. He has hinted that he will be heavily involved in the sports side of the station. Speaking of his departure, he said: “As mentioned on this morning’s show to great national mourning, I’m stepping away from Saturday AM & Sunday AM after next weekend to focus on presenting live football on Virgin Media TV (the new name for TV3) & new Virgin Sport channel, which I’m really looking forward to." He continued: “After 3 brilliant years, with a ridiculous amount of craic, I will really miss the team and viewers of Saturday AM and Sunday AM. It’s been a great show to work on. Especially the beer tasting.” The news was announced last month of the station changes, to which the CEO had to say: "This move sees us strengthen our position as Ireland's leading connected entertainment provider. "Bringing together our Broadband and Broadcasting networks under the unique Virgin Media brand is an exciting development for our viewers, our customers and everyone in Team Virgin Media.”
