Bláthnaid is off on maternity leave with her second child.
But rest assured her show is in good hands.
And now Katja has shared an update about her role on Virgin Media’s The Six O’Clock Show.
Announcing the news on the Six O’Clock show on Wednesday night, she said: “I am delighted to say I will be filling in for Bláthanaid Treacy on 2FM on weekend mornings.
“Don’t worry, I’m not going anywhere, guys, I’ll still be here, every weekday, someone has to keep Brian in check.”
Phew!
Katja has been presenting The Six O’Clock Show alongside Brian Dowling since 2023 and they have really made the show their own.
And now she will present 9am to 12 noon on Saturdays and Sundays on 2FM for the next six months.
With big prizes, great tunes, the What’s Wrong With Ye Quiz and the fabulous Pamper Hamper, Katja will be bringing it all to listeners.
Speaking about the role, Katja said: “I’m absolutely buzzing to be making my radio debut on the RTÉ 2FM airways. I’m honoured to be asked to keep Bláthnaid’s seat warm while she’s away! It’s always been a dream of mine to work on radio and this opportunity has come at a perfect time in my career where I feel I’ve built up a great amount of presenting experience through TV.
I’m aware that I have massive boots to fill and that any new role comes with some learning curves, but I can assure 2FM listeners that we’ll have an absolute blast along the way. I’m looking forward to meeting the team and we’ll do our very best to continue to bring an extra bit of sparkle and fun to your Saturday and Sunday mornings!”
