    if sahurday cooper went to newstalk antoine could move to the last word with foley moving into antoines slot?

    I would see that as the next step for Foley given he is doing his journalism masters...a part discussion/part music show...

    Not so sure. Ray's style is to talk 'at' people, never struck me as a great listener which is something you need, to be a good interviewer. Can an old dog learn new tricks?

    Yeah he's a terrible interviewer. Especially when it's serious

    Oh I wouldn't see him in a full-on serious talk show role, definitely not a good fit for that, but a show like that which Anton does, and D'arcy did circa 2009...less annoying and a little more music perhaps...we shall see! Really needs to get back on the radio and podcasting...hopefully whatever he alluded to that was preventing them doing so until now passes!

    I think the only thing stopping them is time tbh. I think he has exams in May so that might be taking up his spare time at the moment.

    Word on the street is that all 2fm weekend contracts are up this summer... Ray to make an appearance in Montrose? It'd be a good way to get back on the national airwaves.

    He's from Dundalk(God love him) but I'm sure he lives in Dublin.
    Lads I don't understand the need to know where JP is or what he is doing. I'm sure he's grand and happy out. I mean do ye want him on a video showing a recent newspaper front page ?

    I don't think Foley will take up a weekend slot but with regards Ruth Scott, I don't think that was a serious spat at all...always piss taking it seemed, he had her on The Seven O'Clock Show couch a couple of months back sure.

    i thought he commuted? I think we should know where JP is, i mean he was a long time side kick to foley and he suddenly vanishes, after all his struggles to find a bird and make his way in life, we were with him all the time, now he is gone, i'm concerned for him #wheresJP

    Ruth Scott will be shown the door, if the rumours that abound on this forum are true (and tbh with the track record on 2fm rumours on here...).

    I think a weekend spot on a national station would be a smart move for Ray. It'd get his name back out there and still allow him to focus on other media work.

    Indeed. And getting a foot in the door at RTE is just a clever move all round. Plus, didn't he say before that they'd approached him about a job?

    Honestly, I think he'd fit in very well on 2FM now, and having the week free to do TV work... could be a runner.

    Though personally I don't buy the "wholesale clearout" rumour myself.

    I've actually found myself really enjoying Eoghan McDermott's show recently. He's fun to listen to, and he provides a welcome oasis in the storm of talk radio at drivetime.

    Can't speak for the rest of the station though.

    Yeah he mentioned they did in a podcast last year at some point, think the approach was 2010/2011 if I recall. It is worth remembering that his misses works there also so its not a ludicrous idea Foley ending up at 2FM despite him not exactly loving some people there...*breakfast republic*...we'll see I guess!

    Nothing seems to be imminent unfortunately!

    Does he play music at all? I usually only hear between 6-7 and anytime i flick on he's talking...

    Would there be any conflict of interest if he stays at TV3 and works for 2FM. As much as he likes radio he's probably getting more money on TV for that. So unless it was a full time gig would he bother with it?
