    Damian farrelly said tomorrow morning is he's last pre/breakfast show!

    He signed off very quickly this morning, only mentioning it at the end. Said he was going to be filling in for Colm Hayes for the rest of the week. I'd say some of his listeners will get a shock next week or whenever the new schedule starts.

    Ivan Yeats this morning on Newstalk Breakfast said a 'little birdy' told him that 2FM is to be sold by RTE.
    Will Rick O' Shea have a pop at him too for spreading unsubstantiated rumours?

    This thread will soon either follow the others to the bottom of the pile or since some employees and contractors at RTE have passed comment with tweets and referring to this board as untruthful, it must have some truth in it.

    Would someone enlighten me and tell me who Eoin Mc Dermott is? What radio station is he on at present?

    Is one agent not enough for him?

    Anyway the official line up is not far away. It won't make a blind bit of difference to me if it's like what's posted above. As I've said before two shows attract me to 2fm, Ireland's Biggest Jukebox and Jenny Greene on a Saturday night. The rest as they say is what it is.

    Anybody hear Ivan Yates this morning on Newstalk, they where talking about 2FM being subsidised and Yates casually mentioned that he had heard "from a insider" they where planning to sell of the station.

    Remember in the 00's when seeking a younger audience Dave Fanning and Larry Gogan were moved from 2FM weekdays to the weekends (Dave also to Radio 1 week nights)...and a few years later returned !!

    Where did you hear this? I'd be so disappointed if this is true. I'm in the same boat I've been listening to him for almost 10 years! His Saturday shows got me through my weekend job when I was in secondary school!

    There are a lot of rumours and/or completely made up stories being posted on this forum about 2FM changes.

    Some of them will turn out to be true, but until they are officially announced you shouldn't take them as Gospel.

    Yes journal.ie have confirmed it aswell, although nothing on the 2FM website yet but only a matter of time. Fascinated to see how the new schedule works out, are we on the brink of a real change of fortunes for 2fm?

    Odds on the official schedule announcement hitting at the same time as the JNLRs tomorrow to try deflect attention must be very, very short.

    #irishindo In tomorrow’s paper, 2fm boss Dan Healy says that even Jesus Christ couldn’t have filled the late Gerry Ryan’s shoes

    https://twitter.com/eoinquinn/status/428664540331380736

    Dan Healy comes out with some awful rubbish. Gerry Ryan was a huge loss but it's about time they moved on. You would wonder why he doesn't just play funeral music between 9 and 12 every morning.

    Are any of them funny? I'm not familiar with Keith, but the other two sure don't seem to be.

    Simple answer is NO. Annoying would be my personal thoughts but the good news is you won't have to look at them. Better than what was there though

    You know what would be a good piece of music to describe RTE's thoughts about Jennifer and Bernard?

    Next Friday is Will Leahys last drive time show, He has had a good long stint on the slot in fairness, 7 years.

    It's a pity Bernard O'Shea is also presenting 'Next Weeks News' on RTE2 at the moment. It's the old RTE trick of getting whoever is flavour of the month on as many programmes as possible.

    It is over-exposure, and it will lead people to think "oh yeah, that's him off that awful quiz show, I'll give his radio programme a miss".

    Having said that, I hope the new show goes well for the new Breakfast team.

    God I can't believe Nicky Byrne is going to be on the radio everyday. 2fm are really making it too easy for me to tune to a different frequency.
