You’d have to be living under a rock not to have heard about all the big changes in 2FM.
Doireann Garrihy, Jennifer Zamparelli, The 2 Johnnies, and Donncha O’Callaghan all announced their departure from the station this year.
And while there has been plenty of switch-ups and replacements, the full time schedule has yet to be confirmed.
Dan Healy, Head of RTÉ Radio Strategy and RTÉ 2FM, has revealed that the hunt is still on to find new talent for the station.
Speaking after the JNLR radio listenership figures came out, Dan said: “Laura Fox has had an immediate positive impact to the 2FM with her show growing by 6,000 listeners weekdays from 9am to 12pm. Laura has a brilliant team led by Kate Proctor. Tracy Clifford has increased again in this survey up 7,000 listeners from 12pm to 3pm. The Breakfast Show are up 5,000 and the 2FM Drive slot up 6,000 listeners.
“We are in the middle of a process of discovering the next new radio talent for Ireland, almost 140 people are coming through 2FM over the next two weeks. We are meeting incredibly talented people from all walks of life.
“Off the back of this strong book we look forward to building on these gains and bringing a new breakfast and evening drive show for the audience over the next few months. Finally, a massive thanks from all the 2FM team to our listeners.”
We will be keeping our eyes and ears peeled!
