Local broadcaster retires after 'distinguished' radio career - Kilkenny Live

After a long and esteemed career in radio, local broadcaster Sue Nunn has retired from full-time broadcasting after over three decades.

Ms Nunn, who has served as Station News Editor of KCLR 96FM over the past number of years, is one of the region's most respected and formidable presenters, holding numerous politicians and public figures to account throughout her radio career.

The Cork native first took to the local airwaves in the early 1990s on the now defunct Radio Kilkenny, where she featured in the station's prime-time line up alongside many popular presenters including John Walsh, Mike O'Brien and many more.

Following the closure of Radio Kilkenny in December 2003, Nunn joined the newly formed KCLR 96FM where she has hosted a wide range of programmes including 'The Sue Nunn Show' and 'The Way It Is' for just over 20 years.

Paying tribute to the broadcasting stalwart on Friday morning live on air, KCLR CEO, John Purcell said: "On behalf of the thousand of listeners, organisations and communities, I'd just like to thank you for your contribution over the years, not just with KCLR but throughout a long and distinguished career in local radio.

"You'll be missed but the good news is you won't be gone too far and we hope to see you back."
