Michael Sinnott Editor and Programme Controller
Michael Sinnott from Enniscorthy, began working at South East Radio in the mid 1990′s, as a news reporter before being appointed Head of News in 2008. Michael also worked for a time for two prominent radio stations in Dublin where he presented news bulletins and covered all of the major court cases at the Four Courts. He returned to his native Wexford ten years ago. Michael was passionate about broadcast journalism from a young age, which resulted in him reporting on some of the biggest stories to break in County Wexford including the resignation of a Bishop, the deaths of two families in Clonroche and Monageer in separate tragic circumstances, and the container lorry tragedy in which eight non-nationals died close to Wexford Town.
Michael Doyle News Journalist
Michael Doyle comes from Camross. His number 1 passion is for farming, borne out by the introduction of the first farming programme to South East Radio in 1989, the year the station was founded. A daily farming news spot followed in 1990 and is still in place today. In 1999 Michael joined the news team. The new twist of reporting events that changed from hour to hour made the move very interesting and exciting for him. Unfortunately the many highlights of Michaels news career are often shroud in deep sadness involving family tragedies and one that springs immediately to mind is the reporting of the deaths on Kaats strand. He recalls the build up to the new millennium as a year of tremendous excitement and anticipation. In 2000, Michael introduced a programme called “Breaking Ground” on a Saturday morning. This programme has now evolved to become “I remember”. Michael is married to Mary with 3 grown children.
