Changes at 2fm

Looking at the schedule, it looks like Jenny will be replacing Dan Hegarty, who will then be down to one show on Sunday, unless he is being moved around as well at the expense of somebody else.

Neither am I, but not every programme on 2FM has to accommodate to my tastes so I wish her the best of success in her new slot.

Jenny has been on Drive for 7 years. surely the longest running presenter slot on the station?. This is certainly a demotion for Jenny going from a 3 hour drive slot to a show after 10pm and will probably be voicetracked.

Listeners will only be a few thousand.

What about Dan? ..will he be moved to Sun to Thur after midnight? The show is already on 2XM. He is a permanent member of RTE staff.

The article was free to read earlier this morning...that's 5 minutes I'll never get back.

She just spoke about how badly they treated her(in her opinion) - her agent contacted her to say that her contract was not being renewed. Kinda funny how this article comes out the same time 2FM announce that Laura Fox is getting the weekend spot permanently.

Tracey has gone past her sell by date. The show really doesn't do much a bit dry

Tracey and Jenny are the only ones worth listening to on 2fm

True. They would be the only ones I would listen

Sorry was being sarcastic, I wouldn't even take it for €1, I would doubt it comes near to break even at the moment.

fair enough.

it definitely hasn't been proffitable for a long time now and won't be again, i would agree it probably doesn't even break even now either.

so what's happening Dan Hegarty, nothing has been announced about where he's going...

I don't think that's actually happening. I think it will be Mr. Stephen Byrne driving us home. Or maybe Chris and Ciara. Basically, somebody already with 2FM. 2Js have an exclusive contract with Spotify anyway so I doubt they would be on RTÉ.

I remember a rumour that Dermot Whelan was going to be part of Breakfast Republic and one in 2016 that Ray Foley was getting a weekend slot. Neither was true in the end so I'm taking the 2 Johnnies rumour with a bit of salt.

Dan Hegarty's nightly 2FM show is also on digital station 2XM during the day...I wonder will this 2XM show remain there only?

But will he stay with 2FM?

I understand Dan is an RTE staffer..

Friday evening in lockdown, fancy a few tunes, turn on 2fm. But no, it's a sports chat show when there's no sport happening anywhere in the world to talk about.

Tracey is miles and miles ahead of Jennifer Zampareli or the crowd doing breakfast.

agreed. jennifer is so bad. I won't even let my dogs listen to the show, same with the sports show at 6

and im no sure why ruby walsh is part of show. comes across uninterested and that it's a load of hassle for him

The office i work, moved from today fm due to irritating presenters - while the breakfast/Jen's show are awful, the music is good.varied and it picks up from Traceys/Jennys show...they have to really tinker with shows that dont need tinkering dont they

Website has Drivetime with Laura Fox 2FM Drive with Laura Fox - RTÉ 2fm (rte.ie)

That would of been Hot FM 99.4, (before being sold to FK), guessing 03 or 04, was based in Templeogue I think.

Edit: The quote didn't make the post, someone asked earlier what pirate Tracey was on

Tracey Clifford must have been the last presenter on 2FM to have started in the pirates - the traditional route.

Her show is a bit odd in that she plays a lot of dance stuff but a lot of its is stuff from the 90s that won't appeal to a lot of the listener for a daytime show. She seems to be the only daytime presenter allowed to play a lot of her own stuff
