2fm - New schedule coming

Ah here, come on will ya? 10 years working for 2FM (probably more), in that time any presenter on any shift should be able to sit in when needed. If you know your craft, you can be nervous on the inside but not show it on air. That goes to show that she has never had any direction or air checking.

Come on, what? I'm not disagreeing with you. And nerves are normal.

Beta da Silva was sitting in for Tracey and he's definitely been a bit nervous.

Is it possible that the summer schedule wasn't planned for until a bunch of presenters left within short period of time? And existing holidays would still need to be respected then...

I did say, and younger. And whoever voted for her in DWTS.

I did hear from someone before that worked in RTE, that the phone lines (text I presumed) lit up when she was on different shows. Its a metric they will use to measure audience interests and whether its pos or neg engagement, its still engagement.

I listened to drive today anyway. Fcuk me it was piss poor.

Actually no, maybe it wasn't. Production etc was fine. It was just incredibly boring. Lotties accent for a few hours is a thing to behold...... I'll never subject myself to that show again. Friday drivetime is supposed to be fun FFS.

Do you have figures for the DWTS podcast?

I wouldn't have asked if I did. I don't but I am always surprise when people say something is doing well, the audience is good. You say it charts well, on which platform?

TV3 had a habit of saying audience figures were good, or that they had even doubled, double from what?

I was actually talking about TV3 back then but and here's something for the books

VMTV ONE - full name TV3 Television Network Ltd

VMTV TWO - full name Channel 6 Broadcasting Ltd

VMTV THREE - full name UTV Ireland Ltd

I think FOUR and More come under ONE!

Thanks. Also as you say it could just be DWTS. I imagine the 2 hosts are both replaceable, maybe even Lottie gets that job!

Didnt know Carl was there that long. When did he start on weekend breakfast?

on friday after 5 they have a version of the out the gap lingering on in that they play dance/EDM stuff to jig us up for the weekend. The only thing is that unlike when the 2 johnnies did it, this is very much "mum and dad" sort of stuff, quite tame. also i did notice as someone posted earlier this one/one way of presenting in that they dont actually seem to be talking to each other at all.

Sadly, David has certainly taken the "two messers" thing to heart. Shouting and screeching (I cant think of any other word) at 90 decibels is just unlistenable. Actually the "two messers" idea is something like a granny would think up for "young peoples radio" and harks back to 2fm's AnCo Radio heritage.

Spotted the newspaper this morning, at a glance it seems to be all about "disrespecting gerrys name" more than the merits or demerits of lottie as a presenter. If that's coming from "sources" 😉 than it reveals a lot.

It's brutal even by 2fm standards they started only 3 weeks ago.

First off she is nearly 40, so hardly a "girl"

My other half is her target audience, talk to her and friends and they will tell you she ruined the breakfast show when they shoved her into it and now the afternoons. Well seemingly not anymore

At least it shows 2Fm have finally had some sense

In terms of her win of Dancing with the Stars, a number of times from recollection she was in bottom and was saved by the judges. On the final it was in covid and she was pushed from every angle in the media for a least a week. RTE clearly had a plan they wanted her to win it, the other person, can't remember name but she was far superior
