Tom Byrne's coverage focuses heavily on local sports, particularly football and darts. Pitches for interviews or stories related to Irish football, especially involving transfers and player movements within the region, are likely to be well received.
Given his extensive coverage of local events like signings and appearances by sporting figures in Ireland, he may also appreciate pitches about exclusive events featuring well-known personalities from other sports as long as they have a strong local angle or significance.
It would be beneficial to align pitches with Tom's focus on event coverage and private sector announcements while placing significant emphasis on the local context within Ireland.

This week, Delawareans in the city of Wilmington and throughout the state bid farewell to former Wilmington mayor Mike Purzycki. Purzycki died last week at the age of 80 and in the days following his death and at his funeral this week, much of the discussion about his impact understandably focused on his two terms as mayor and his 10 years spent shaping the massive development of Wilmington’s Riverfront as Executive Director of the Riverfront Development.But there is more to Purzycki’s legacy that those two things. Among them is his work on the Wilmington Hope Commission, which has focused on re-entry services and recidivism. And it’s that part of Purzycki’s story that three people who worked with him on the Hope Commission focused on in a piece they co-authored last week after his death.This week, host Tom Byrne sat down with those three people – Delaware State Univ. President Tony Allen, who served with Purzycki as the group’s founding co-chairs, former Hope Commission Executive Director Charles Madden and Darryl "Wolfie" Chambers, founder of the Center for Structural Equity, and a volunteer and advisor to the Commission – to discuss their piece “He Was “Enough”: Remembering Mike Purzycki."

When the new Claymont Transportation Center opened in December 2024, it completed some two decades of work to bring a new train station to Claymont, and was hailed as a foundational piece in the effort to redevelop the former Claymont Steel site and surrounding community.But two and a half years later, the facility was largely underutilized, sparking a new effort to make the Claymont Transportation Center the kind of hub it was intended to be.The Claymont-PHL Connector initiative seeks to bring a regional shuttle service connecting the Claymont Transportation Center to Philadelphia International Airport and more in the Philadelphia area.Among those behind the initiative is Tony Benson of EpiMind Consulting who joined Tom Byrne this week to discuss that effort.
