RYAN TUBRIDY IS getting back behind the mic at RTÉ Radio 1 in the coming weeks after a five year absence.

He moved to 2fm following the death of Gerry Ryan in 2010, but will now take over an hour-long morning slot at Radio 1 from September 17.

His listenership had been steadily increasing in recent years, but questions remain over whether they will follow him.

This morning we’re asking: Will you listen to Ryan Tubridy’s new show?

Poll Results:

No, not a chance (11026)

I'll give it a go (1960)

Yes, of course (1292)
