The Bottom Line, the long running business programme presented by John Purcell returns to KCLR for a new series beginning this Saturday, 20 July.
A weekly programme, it will cover local business news, interviews with business people, features on business issues and information and updates relevant to the local business community will be broadcast at 9am each Saturday morning.
The programme will also be available as a podcast through the normal podcast channels.
The Bottom Line returns
The first programme in the new series will feature an interview with Carlow native Paddy Byrne who with his three brothers launched hydraulic cylinder maker Burnside in 1979, a company which today employs over one thousand people in county Carlow.
Paddy recently launched a book looking back on his life and business career and he spoke exclusively to John Purcell following the launch of the book.
“I’m delighted to be bringing listeners another series of The Bottom Line and excited that for the first time people will be able to download and listen to the programme through KCLR’s ever expanding podcast channels”, says presenter and station Chief Executive, John Purcell.
“It’s a hugely interesting time in business and we’ll be talking to lots of really interesting people involved in business in the coming months.”
