Martin and Muireann have been working together since 2017 and with a recent shake up at Virgin Media Muireann will now be presenting Ireland AM and Karen Koster will be taking over her spot on the Six O’Clock Show.
King was sad to see his presenting partner go but he posted a really sweet tribute to his co-host on Instagram, wishing her look in her new role.
He wrote, “So there has been a television re-coupling! @muireann.o has been my side kicking partner on the @sixoclockshow since 2017 and we’ve had a lot of fun making the show what it is. Good luck on @irelandamvmtv, you’ll be brilliant! So a brand new Six O’Clock show launches on Monday on a brand new set and with @karenkostertv as my new co-host… Karen, I’ll see you by the fire-pit for a chat. #newcohost #newadventures #excitingtimesahead”.
Sharing the news of the “re-coupling” to social media this week Karen said; “After two and a half years of early starts, I’m moving to @sixoclockshow and handing over my alarm clock to the wonderful Muireann O’Connell.”
These aren’t the only changes as Elaine Crowley just announced her departure from the Elaine Show. The presenter will instead also be joining Simon Delaney on Ireland AM every Friday, Saturday and Sunday!
Revealing the news to social media today she said; “It’s with a heavy heart I say goodbye to the Elaine show. It’s been such a privilege and an honour to work with such amazing women and men over the last 10 years.”
“Such great friendships have been forged, and many many laughs have been had, especially behind the scenes (the bold stuff I can’t tell you about!)”
We are looking forward to seeing these familiar faces in their new roles!
