    It wouldn't surprise me if 2fm went back to targeting over 30s, they tried a youth format a couple of times in the 00s but did u=turn. So could another u turn be on the cards??. https://www.thesun.ie/tvandshowbiz/music/524000/rtes-larry-gogan-eyes-move-back-to-old-daytime-slot-on-2fm-after-good-showing-in-jnlr-report/

    That was Tony Fenton.

    Larry Gogan is 78. Fair play to him if he makes a come back.

    There probably is a bigger gap in the market now for an over 30s music based station if today fm are going much younger. If 2fm put Ray Darcy on mid mornings 9/12, he would destroy Dermot and Dave in the ratings

    Larry is prehistoric. But the current collective daytime schedule aren't fit to lick his boots.

    I like Larry. He's easy listening, decent music and has THE BEST QUIZ IN THE WORLD!

    He plays decent music on RTE GOLD but no longer on 2FM. The golden hour is playing songs from 2015 (not Larry's fault!!)!!

    Won't happen. It would make no sense for 2FM after all the changes and rebranding as a youth station to rip it all up and start again. Finally stabilised. The quote about Larry returning to daytime was meaningless.

    It's also from The Sun and we know how accurate they are!

    Having said that, if 2fm started targeting my age group again (i.e. those of us over 30), I'd come back to them in a heartbeat. I've long since taken the station off the presets on the car radio. I don't know what the hell people of my age group have done to become so unattractive to radio station managers.

    you know if they put Larry's current golden hour on weeknights at 7pm, it would be a lot more suitable to the station format than game on.

    I know I'm in the minority but I actually enjoy Game On.
    Except the GAA pieces, they're far too agricultural for my liking.
    But they seem to get the big names in relation to Rugby and soccer pundits, obviously some tie in with the TV panels.
