| Information: | The 'Gay Byrne Show' began on radio as the ‘Gay Byrne Hour' on 2 February 1973. In a rapidly changing Ireland, the programme became the public forum for many topics and debates of the day and was especially popular with housewives. In 1979 the programme was given extended air time and changed name to become the 'Gay Byrne Show'. Broadcasting for two hours a day from Monday to Friday, the 'Gay Byrne Show' stayed on air until Byrne's retirement in 1998.
