The Afternoon Show

Bláthnaid Ní Chofaigh presented the show from the launch in 2004. She presented the show five times a week taking various breaks throughout the season. In January 2009, she became a judge to the East on The All Ireland Talent Show but she continued to present The Afternoon Show. During May 2009, she was taken ill during rehearsals. This was not the first time she was unwell during the show as in 2008 she took a month off to recover from an operation. She has recently been involved in much media attention with her co-host Sheana Keane, leading to speculation that they were not on good terms. As a result of health issues, she left the programme in 2009.[8][9]

Sheana Keane began presenting the show since the launch. After the first season, Sheana did not return for the second as she wanted to concentrate on her family. Sheana though did return for the third season from 2006-07 when Anna Nolan left the show. On her return Sheana presented the show from Monday to Thursday while Trevor Keegan steps in on Fridays with Bláthnaid. Sheana has taken many breaks throughout the four seasons she has presented but the most notable has been in March 2009 when she took a break for personal reasons, saying she was suffering from 'vertigo' and has not returned for the rest of the season. It has been announced that Sheana will return to the show presenting the sixth season from 2009–10.

Anna Nolan began presenting the show since the launch of 2004 with Sheana and Bláthnaid. From the beginning the media wrote about a frostiness between the presenters. Anna returned to present the second season with Bláthnaid and left the show after that to pursue other projects.

Trevor Keegan had been with The Afternoon Show since the launch as the showbiz correspondent and filled in presenting throughout the first season and second season. When Sheana returned for the third season 2006-07 Trevor began presenting every Friday with Blathnaid as well as featuring during the rest of the week with showbiz gossip but since the fifth season 2008-09 as just presented every Friday only. In March 2009, when Sheana left for personal reasons, he has presented the show from Monday-Friday.

Various presenters filled in for the main presenters if they were away or ill those being Síle Seoige, Gráinne Seoige, Kathryn Thomas and Caroline Morahan but Pamela Flood had filled in throughout the past five seasons for various reasons.

In August 2009, RTÉ confirmed that Síle Seoige would be presenting the beginning of the sixth season of the Afternoon Show originally it was believed that Síle would be presenting the show with Bláthnaid Ní Chofaigh, but in September it was revealed that Síle would be presenting the show with presenter Sheana Keane who has not been on-screen since March 2009. RTÉ have insisted that Síle will only be filling in for Bláthnaid Ní Chofaigh only for a couple of weeks as Bláthnaid recovered from a minor operation. Sile presented the show for four weeks with Sheana Keane and departed with Maura Derrane taking over the role which became permanent after a positive reaction to her performance on the show.

Maura Derrane presented her first show on 5 October 2009 after Sile, who presented the show with Sheana for the month of September, had finished her 4 weeks with the show. Maura became a permanent host with Sheana from Christmas onwards until the show was axed that May.

From 2009 Dr Mark Hamilton presented Friday's show with rotation between Sheana and Maura. He is from Dublin.
