    Can't believe he's been replaced by Louise Duffy. Her shows are total fluff. I'll give her a chance but I can see myself switching off fairly quickly.

    All the best KC. A slow start but you grew on me

    Hopefully Louise Galvin does well with the new move too

    Last show just kicked off and it reminded me of listening too KC's first show when he jumped too Today FM a few years back at night and he had this big massive intro with Peter Dickinson (X factor guy) voicing it for him! Thought he might kick the show off with something similar!

    When foley left everyone was guessing what his last song would be and we all thought wrongly it would be journey don't stop Beliveing. He played Calvin Harris , We'll be coming back. Wonder what KC will finish up with?

    The legend that is Juliette Gash said "Today FM news we'll have more in the national lunchtime news at 12:45 but now its time for the last KC show" If that counts?

    Hopefully the crew give him a good farewell. I doubt D'Arcy would even say goodbye to him

    Fair play to KC for choosing family over his high profile job. Gotta respect a man for that. But Louise Duffy is a head-wreck. Can barely stand her talking to Ian Dempsey in the mornings for a few moments, never mind listening to her for the whole lunchtime slot!!

    The change over from Louise Galvin to Tony will be great. Tony will be in full on creep mode

    Very low key send off. Can't see my self listening too Louise. Dunno what I'll listen too at 12. Maybe Nicky & Jenny ?

    He seemed to want to keep it low key. I'd have expected Lenny, Ann, Nordy, maybe a visit from Adelle? Usually the TodayFM staff come in for the last minute with a cake or whatever too. I reckon he asked to keep it low-key. He got a watch and a framed disc going by his pics on twitter.

    I'll definitely miss him at lunchtime. As gutted as I was when Foley left I knew KC coming in would soften the blow. No such guarantee with Louise, but I'll keep her on and give her a chance anyway. KC mentioned yesterday that Lenny was off somewhere preparing something for Mondays show, so I'd assume he'll play some part in the new lunchtime show.

    Darcy actually said he'd miss KC and our(today fm) loss is someone else's gain so yes ray darcy did say goodbye.

    Someone in Today FM has not thought this one through, it will be very interesting to see JNLR figures later in the year for this slot. Although I do wish her well I fear she may act as a listener repellent.

    Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but it sort of sounded like KC was battling back emotions during the last half hour of the show. Sounded on the verge of tears to me. Very low key exit, was expecting Louise to come in at 2:29 the same way KC did for Foley.


    I never really had a chance to listen to KC up until January of this year. Sure I'd dip in and out from time to up to that, but I've been listening every day since January and I have to say, I'm really going to miss him. I thought he was a brilliant replacement for Foley. Different, but brilliant. I'm really glad I got to enjoy it a bit more before the show ended. He's one of those DJ's that sounds like such a genuinely sound guy. I really wish him all the best back at RED. I'll definitely be tuning in to him whenever I'm back home, and christ knows RED needs saving at this stage...

    On Louise, I think she needs to be given a chance. Give her time to put her stamp on the show, try not to pre-judge her based on her morning show and fill-in work, as difficult as that may be. People probably said it was bonkers to give Foley a slot like that back in the day. He'd probably been in Today FM for around the same amount of time as Louise when he got the gig.

    It was a very low key wrap up, no big fanfare or crowd in the studio. It was planned that way i'd guess. The suits don't want to
    be celebrating people leaving them for other stations, understandable really.

    Best of luck to Louise, she deserves a chance and some time to find her feet.

    Think it was Adelle, it was a recorded thing. Not too sure though.

    On Ann... She's amazing, she should have had more time on air with KC I think, that's just my opinion though. I will bes disappointed if she in't on the new Louise Duffy Show.
