Riviera Radio is 21.



Congrats to the whole team at Riviera Radio in Monaco...celebrating their 21st year on the air.
There's a good size Irish connection with this English language station too.
It's been run for a long while by former Sunshine 101 and Atlantic 252 PD Paul Kavanagh, from Dublin.
The afternoon Drive gig these days is occupied by Enda Caldwell from Navan. Enda has worked in the past at Today FM, Radio Luxembourg and KISS in London.
Former presenters include Dublin talk show host Chris Barry and Mark Byrne, ex Today FM,98FM and Q102.

The station's ratings have improved dramatically over the years since Paul Kavanagh has taken over and is now sitting happily among the Top 5 stations in a 35 station market.
I think most presenters will agree that Riviera is 'one of those places' that we would all like to do a gig in. It has a certain buzz about it. It must be great to sit in that studio and be part of that lifestyle.

So well done to Kavo and Enda and everyone slogging away on the sun soaked South of France...poor sods!!
Check out Riviera Radio in Monaco on 106.3FM, or in the South of France on 106.5FM.
