    Paddy McKenna is leaving his show on weekends with Ruth Scott saying he wants to spend more time with his young family. Can't argue with his reasoning.

    I only got the end of the show in the car where they mentioned he was leaving and the start of Wills show, was Wills reference to doesn't Paddy know I don't like change just about Paddy leaving or is Will being moved because of Paddy's move?

    Dave Fanning said this morning his weekend show will be on an hour earlier from October from 9 till 11, I really thought a move to Radio 1 would have been on the cards for him.

    Will Leahy saying tonight that the 6 Mix will be at 7 from next week, which obviously means some changes to the Electric Disco timing.

    You'd wonder now with Ruth Scott being pushed to 3 was that the real reason Paddy left?

    Meh a 3pm start isn't really any different from a 2pm start.

    Getting cut from a three hour slot to a two hour slot to accommodate an over inflated ego might not go down well with some people.

    Ah now it's not that different, Larry will be on in the morning to play the first Christmas song. Most defiantly Fairytale of new York and all I want for Christmas is you will be played to death.

    Seems mark McCabe isn't doing the chart show on 2fm anymore. It's blathnaid treacy who is on the two tube and also did some radio on spin (I think it's spin) so good luck to her.

    Edit: it was spin and she starts New Year's Day.

    Judging by how utterly bored Mark sounded last Friday, might be no harm to give it to someone new.

    Hope Larry Gogan isn't axed. He maybe a veteran broadcaster but he still ranks as one of the best. The US would appreciate him where ageism is not alive and kicking.

    Possibly, but on R1 or Gold - not 2FM.

    For the first time in 36 years the Christmas RTE Guide has made a dogs dinner out of the 2fm Christmas listings by listening the regular weekday schedule.

    2FM doesnt need a Head of Music now, anyone can load their playout system with the Top 100 popular songs out now and throw in 50 songs from the past 10 years.

    I last remembered it was John Clarke & thought he went somewhere in RTE as usually it's a job for life there, until i found it was Dan Healy, it's been a while since i listened, as i thought Ireland's Biggest Jukebox was good, until i heard Jim o Neill's show on TFM

    Nah, Dan Healy is Head of 2FM, as opposed to their Head of Music. Mark McCabe was the Head of Music there, which is why the poster is asking.

    That's a shame. Even if it were to be on RTÉ Gold or something.

    End of another era.

    No Fab 50 is a real shame. It was my introduction to some great songs back in day. You think they could manage to fit a prerecorded show into the schedule somewhere over Christmas. It would fit in nicely on John Creedon's Radio 1 slot over a few evenings.
