Kieran Cuddihy’s Late Late Show Appearance Cancelled Over Newstalk Contract
Kieran Cuddihy’s appearance on Friday night’s Late Late Show has been cancelled after RTÉ received legal correspondence from Newstalk warning that the presenter remained under contract with the radio station.
Newstalk also sent a legal letter to Mr Cuddihy noting his contractual obligations to the station meant he would be unable to appear on tonight’s show.
“Kieran Cuddihy is unable to be a guest on The Late Late Show to be broadcast tonight,” an RTÉ spokeswoman said without elaborating as to the reason for the change in plan.
A spokeswoman for Newstalk said: “In response to promotional material published for tonight’s Late Late show, Newstalk / Bauer Media has contacted RTÉ to make them aware of contractual obligations that remain in force.”
