    I gather CSI (Classic Songs Investigation) as a concept will continue on Classic Hits after these schedule changes come into effect.
    However; I assume PJ & Jim will also be replaced on their Saturday morning CSI show at 10am as well?
    Does anyone know IF Colm Hayes & Lucy Kennedy are taking over the CSI show on Saturdays once PJ & Jim switch to NOVA?
    That CSI thing is overdone and as stale as last months bread, imagine if Today FM kept doing the Classic 9 @ 10 6 mornings a week after Darcy joined?

    Can't see how it's stale when they play a set of music alongside stories and news from that year that you wouldn't ordinarily hear on the playlist?
    There's have been no problems keeping the classic 9 @10 either.

    That link didn't work, but this one should:

    Incidentally, his brother, who is known professionally as Gerry Stevens, was part of the original lineup of 4FM.

    In the first year or so, there were a lot of voices from various parts of RTE on 4FM. Over the years, the numbers have dropped a bit. Currently, we have Nikki Hayes, Damian Farrelly, Duty Rhodes and Enda Murphy, all of whom have done stints with 2FM. Barry Lang is about to join them.

    Yes but back in 1998 it was on six days a week, Monday to Friday with Tim Kelly and Saturday with Paul Power. When Ray Darcy joined it was reduced to just Saturday and it's still there today.

    I didn't realise that. They'll need a new song or singers for the hit bit.

    You'd hope so, but it doesn't look like it.

    Why the f**k has the word "content " became such a buzzword in radio ? One time such a job was just called the manager

    The last time I heard from either Colm & Lucy, was when Colm was with Jim-Jim on 2FM, and Lucy was co-presenting the Podge & Rodge show.

    In the first year or so of 4FM, there were a number of presenters that had been through the superpirates of the 1980s. Dusty Rhodes (who is on Sunday evenings) is the only presenter left (AFAIK) from the superpirates. When Colm Hayes joins, the tally will be up to two!

    Colm Hayes official title is listed as "Programme Director" and will soon present Breakfast on Classic Hits with Lucy Kennedy once PJ & Jim have transferred to do Breakfast on Radio NOVA which begins in April.

    I also notice that ex-RTÉ 2FM DJ Barry Lang is to present "Classic Love Songs with Barry Lang" between 08:00-11:00am on Sunday 14th March. I gather Enda Murphy has departed? Barry Lang took up a new occupation as airline pilot after his 2FM broadcasting career. He was probably best known as presenter of Barry Lang's Hotline, The Beat Box on Sunday mornings on Network 2 tv which was a simulcast with 2FM. Barry also did a stint with Ruth Buchanan on Poparama on Sat/Sun mornings in his early days on the old RTÉ Radio 2!

    ...and of course Colm Hayes! So, in fact, there will be quite a few presenters from 2FM. I think Barry Lang's gig might be only for a few weeks though.
