2fm - New schedule coming

Less than 12 months ago she was with nk. So I doubt she was head of a department as a contractor. So did they give her a permie job to become a department head while they need to cut costs. Contractors should be given the flick and one reading out social media posts especially

There has been plenty of gripes in this thread about not catering for youth but in fairness, the playlist this morning is fairly new and fresh. Plenty Irish artists too, while not delving into the stereotypical Cranberries, Hozier or Dermot Kennedy and roaring 'we're playing new Irish artists' while doing it. I never would have heard any of these on Today FM. One run of tracks was;

CMAT

SZA

Strabe

Peggy Gou

Khakikid

Lottie Ryan and David O Reilly confirmed on VIP magazine Instagram as the replacements for the 2 Johnnies.

Says a lot that it was by them and not 2fm socials. The press release describes them as “the ultimate messers”

gets sick in a bag

I won't listen to 2fm, I stopped after the last schedule. The breakfast show needs to be scrapped, Laura has no personality and we all know Lottie is only on 2fm because of her father. She needs to step outside of his shadow

I had 2FM on the car for about 4 hours last Sunday. Some things I noted….

• The on air imaging was almost indecipherable. Shows presenters were dropping other presenter names left right and centre into every link, or playing incorrect liners for shows or playing name liners for presenters who they were filling in for (In one case, to be fair.). Similarly, the afternoon show signed off and namedrops a good six or seven other presenters, all more prominent than the station name. And this an iconic Irish brand.
• Lazy ass banter for banters sake. Roz and Emma had a link early on; rude Irish place names. Cliched topic granted but amusing, nonetheless, and some listener texts were read out. Two songs later, they were hurrahing a new topic (This time it was festivals.) and text in about it. Two songs later, still reading out placename texts and festival messages and time for another topic, I think it was Roz and her adopt a dog spot. And this on a "music" station.
• Consistency. Again Roz and Emma. Usually your twin presenters have a lead voice hosting in and out, with the other contributing content in between. I noticed that they didn't adhere to this concept at all. I think Roz actually disappeared for a few links (Not a bad thing, sez you 😁 ).
• Ads. I know they are a sore topic on other station but of the few of what aired, they didn't exactly jump out of the radio. Which raises a concern; if you don't notice them then should they bother atall?
• The music I didn't find was a big issue but it was odd to hear a "that was this is" mentality times. Sometimes you miss that simplicity. Maybe that's what they need to look at again; if it works for Spin……
  
  

This aged badly.

Who should have got the slot instead? Any names?

Yup 2fm playlist is much, much better than today fm.

2fm's programming after 7pm is also much better.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Well isn't that the biggest "f*CK you boards"

Afric joining breakfast isn't that big a surprise. Afric and Carl were a popular pairing on weekends so they already have the chemistry.

Lottie on Drive... Well it's not Fergal D'arcy.

Shake up? Shakedown for the taxpayers money more like. Less talent same output. Just now, drive becomes drivel.

I'd take her entertainment slots over Cash Machine shilling any day of the week. If Bauer's "I can't believe it's not gambling" funding model is the best alternative to the licence fee then broadcast Radio is wrecked beyond recovery.

Was there a replacement named for Laura Fox at weekends? Their schedule just has the "Weekends on 2FM", where I'm guessing allows them random presenters come through a few weeks here and there.
