Jenny Greene has announced a brand new radio show and her departure from Drive Time on Instagram.
Sharing a statement with followers the DJ revealed news of her exciting new chapter, “Some personal news to share, today was my last day presenting Drive Time on RTÉ 2FM. I’ve been incredibly lucky to present on daytime radio for the last 7 years. Radio became a lifeline for us all over the last 2 years.
“At a time when we were all feeling very disconnected from friends & family, being able to connect with people and provide some light relief during a very dark time, has been both an honour and a privilege. I couldn’t have gotten through the last 2 years without you guys for tuning in, texting and being a huge part of the show, so thank you so much.
“I also want to give a huge thank you to my incredible producer Reg Looby, who has worked tirelessly, to keep the show upbeat & fun, making sure we provided a light escape from some very dark days. Big thank you also to our most reliable BCO Diarmuid O’Brien.
“I joined 2FM in 2007 as a specialist music DJ & I have been given the opportunity to return to my first love and passion, which has always been music.
“I will be presenting a brand new music show Sunday – Thursday 10:00pm -12:00am called ‘The Greene Room’! If this pandemic has taught us anything, it is to do what makes you happy and music has always been that consistent thing that has brought me so much joy. The Electric Disco will continue as normal every Saturday and I’m really excited to be given this new and exciting opportunity to showcase many different genres of music that I love.
‘When life gives you lemons, you don’t make lemonade. You use the seeds to plant a whole orchard, an entire franchise!’ (Anthon St. Maarten).
“The Greene Room is my new orchard and I am so excited. Jenny.”
Jenny was met with lots of support from friends and followers in the comments of the announcement, with Tara Kumar writing, “Best show name ever!!” and Dermot Bannon saying, “Good luck with the new show!!!!”
The DJ shared a picture from her last day on Drive Time with the caption, “Last Drive Time Show today @rte2fm & I couldn’t have spent it with anyone better than @mavericksabre.”
