RTÉ Lyric FM first hit the airwaves 25 years ago today with its debut broadcast at noon on 1 May 1999.
When it started it broke new ground as the only dedicated classical and arts music radio station in the country rte.ie/news/2024/0501/144665…
Here we were, 25 years ago. None of us have changed a bit. This is the gang who launched @RTElyricfm 1 May 1999. As great a group as I could imagine. Many of the fine broadcasters are still there, providing Ireland with first-rate music and arts radio. Comhghairdeachas!

In a 2000 interview, MacNeil said that he and news partner Jim Lehrer aimed to add “a kind of respect for complexity to the news that was already there.”
Their approach, he said, was based on “fundamental fairness and objectivity, and also the idea that the American public is smarter than they’re often given credit for on television, and they don’t all need things in little bite-sized, candy-sized McNuggets of news.” pbs.org/newshour/press-relea…

Here we go, snow lovers. ❄️❄️❄️
Two storms combine to quite possibly dump a foot or more of snow by next Tuesday.
Our first system ramps up tonight.
System #2 is still on track to dump heavy wet-cement snow starting Sunday.
My latest take.

We’ve worked together for 2 1/2 years — but always from studios on opposite coats. Today @amartinezla and I are in the same place, Studio 31 in Washington.

Sorry, no promo for our show tonight, as we celebrate and mourn and trade stories about a true original:

I spent 3 weeks of my life talking Gov. Ventura into an interview 5 years ago. @TomCrann @coreyschreppel & I ended up at his house for an hour. It's one of my favorite things I've ever manifested into the world and I love this write up by @LauraMcCallumB
