Keith Cunningham or "K.C." (born 30 October 1979) is a multi award winning Irish Radio Presenter, Producer and Radio Programmer. As of April 2014, he is currently Program Director and Presenter of The KC Show at Cork's RedFM. After 4 years with 100-102 Today FM and commuting from Cork to Dublin each week,he left the station to return home to his young family. Cunningham announced he would return to Cork's Red FM as part of a major over haul of the radio station which saw Neil Prendeville leave Corks 96 FM. ==Early career== Cunningham started his radio career with garden shed pirate giant Kiss FM back in 1992/93. He was introduced to pirate radio by his close friend Tony Gallagher. In 1998 he won the 2fm DJ for a day competition. The prize was a trip to the N.B.C. studios in New York to present two live hotline shows with Dusty Rhodes. He studied broadcasting and journalism in Dublin for two years before returning to Castlebar to launch Mayo's first 24-hour pirate station, Power FM. This station relayed Virgin Radio by day when Chris Evans was the breakfast show host. Power FM was operated from a tiny apartment in Castlebar for the summer of 1999 and broadcast to Mayo using a Veronica FM 250W stereo transmitter and a three element beam antenna giving the station over 900 Watts of power. The studio was raided by the Guards in August 1999 after they had received intelligence of "activity involving lots of young males and loud dance music". The authorities allowed the radio station to continue on the grounds of reasonable noise control. Cunningham caused some controversy with local religious groups after he used an image of the Virgin Mary with superimposed headphones and the slogan "Power FM the immaculate reception" in a poster campaign for the radio station. In 2000, Cunningham was offered a full-time position with local radio station MWR FM working as an out side broadcast engineer and part-time commercial producer. From there he moved to Galway Bay FM where at 21 he was the youngest full-time breakfast show host on Irish radio and increased the ratings by 40% - he was subsequently sacked after he "forgot to get up" a few times. He joined Dublin's FM 104 in 2000 as their weekend breakfast show presenter where he remained until he transferred to the newly opened "Cork's RedFM". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Keith Cunningham」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
