Muireann O'Connell has been confirmed as the new host of Today FM's midday slot, taking over from Al Porter who exited the station amid allegations of sexual misconduct.

O'Connell was previously announced in November as a temporary replacement for Porter, but the news today means it's now a permanent fixture. Porter lasted seven months in the role, having been first announced in February of last year. O'Connell will be the only woman on Today FM's primetime schedule.
