The programme broadcasts each weekday morning between 6am to 10am.
Mark, who previously presented the drive time show The Jam, will be leaving the station after 24 years of service.
The former DJ said on air this Thursday morning that "change is good" and that having spent half his life with the station, it was "time for change" to happen in his life.
"Thank you for being my friend," he told listeners live on air, in an emotional sign off on his penultimate day.
In response to Nobby, Duncan Smith TD wrote that the programme will never be the same again. "Thanks for all the laughs, messing and great morning radio," he said.
While Fair City's George McMahon also known as Mondo O'Connell on the show, wrote: "Ah Nobby… the end of an era! Congrats on the many years of brilliant radio. Best of luck on the next chapter."
