In the 1980s, he presented the current affairs programme Today Tonight, the precursor to Prime Time.

Bowman has won two Jacob's Awards for his radio broadcasting, in 2016 and 2013 the latter for his presentation of the current affairs programme, Day by Day. In April 2008, he commented on RTÉ television coverage of the state funeral of former President of Ireland Patrick Hillery.[2]

Bowman chaired the audience-participation political programme Questions and Answers on RTÉ One television for 21 years, the final edition airing on 29 June 2009.[1] He is the presenter of Bowman Sunday Morning (previously Bowman Saturday) on radio, a weekly compilation of material from broadcasting archives at home and abroad. He has also co-anchored RTÉ election coverage since the early 1980s.{{Citation needed|date=February 2007}}
