John Creedon

Creedon's career began with an initial failed audition for a job on RTÉ 2fm, but he went on to twice top the Irish Singles Chart with his character, Terence the Cork hairdresser. Terence was a frequent contributor to The Gerry Ryan Show in the early 1990s. Creedon won a Jacob's Award in 1992 for his RTÉ Radio 1 morning show, Risin' Time. Prior to his RTÉ career, Creedon broadcast on Cork pirate radio stations in the early-mid 1980s, most notably as 'John Blake' on ERI. Over the years, Creedon has hosted shows on RTÉ Radio One at various times of the day. The Creedon Show was replaced by a programme hosted by Ronan Collins in 2006. This change followed new radio chief, Ana Leddy's decision to move him on as part of widespread alterations across the station. John also hosted Late Date on RTÉ Radio 1 for some time prior to his move to the current 8 to 10pm slot.
