The Afternoon Show
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Afternoon Show is Radio Telefís Éireann's live flagship daytime show.
The television show, presented by Anna Nolan (2004-2006), Bláthnaid Ní Chofaigh (2004 -) and Sheena Keane (2004, 2006 -), is a mix of lifestyle, information and fun items. The show includes cookery, fashion, health, fitness, parenting, life-coaching and celebrity gossip. Viewers also have the opportunity to text, phone and e-mail in interjections, views, experiences and opinions. The show also gives its viewers a chance to win prizes in a daily quiz.
The show has met with a mixed reaction since it first appered on screens in Autumn 2004. This was partly due to the fact that it replaced the hugely popular show, Open House. There was speculation that the show has not proved as successful as its predecessor and that it would not return for a second season. However, a second series began in Autumn 2005, although one of the former presenters, Sheena Keane, did not return.
In Autumn 2006, the show returned for a third season. This time Anna Nolan left the show and was replaced by Sheena Keane who returned after taking a year off to focus on her first child.
