Ray D'arcy could reignite 2fm

Igniting 2fm isn’t a bad idea. I’d do it for free.

I surprised 2fm didn't do more with D'Arcy during the 90's although The Den would have got in the way. Even if it was possible to recreate the 00's Today fm show it wouldn't fit 2fm unless the station went down a more RTE Gold direction.

That’s not a pee take, nor is it Oliver Callan. That’s documentary footage.

Ray D'Arcy shouldn't be getting one cent of licence fee money. It's an embarassment. The man is devoid of personality, creativity or inteligence - and afer 25 years he can't even work the flippin' desk! Every day it's rinse and repeat. The fact that listeners are abandoning his how in droves is indicative. I was happy when Derek mooney with his Eurovision obsession got moved off this slot but his show was light years better than the current drivel. Ray D'Arcy should be shown the door and depatched back to Hospital Radio, which would be about his level. The fact the Tubridy and Duffy are on such ridiculous "fees" is bad enough, but at least there is a small bit of competency with those lads. As for Ray, surely the end of his days a as pontificating spoofer are fast approaching?

Ray D'Arcy is not the fit for 2FM.

2FM needs to Identify itself. I'm all for the two Johnny's getting a radio show but I think Drive time may be the wrong slot for them, 2FM need to rebuild their Dublin Market share and I dont think these guys will help it.

The Station has two of the best DJ/Presenters in the country in Tracy Clifford and Jenny Greene and in my opinion moving Jenny to a late evening/night time slot will be a mistake, The Jury is still out on the breakfast show, Carl and Doireann are radio people in the sense they have both studied and have worked their way through the world of radio, I just think Donnacha is somewhat out of place, I think he should stick to the Rugby punditry/Irelands Fittest Family but having said that there is a chemistry there that may improve.

I could imagine Dan Healy's reaction to that when you suggest it in a "strategy" meeting. First he spits out the latte in his mouth and enquires from you (in a low, menacing growl) how many Insta and Twitter followers he has.

When you are unable to tell him there and then, the roaring starts.

"Are you an eejit?" he'll scream while walloping the coffee cup off the glass table, all of his loyal producers now covered in latte foam and Healy's spittle.

They all look through the glass table to study the floor, knowing what's coming next.

"Ya must be an eejit coz that's the wuuurst idea I have EVER fooking heard!!!!" he bellows.

And here it comes, all the producers think, as one......

"You'll burn the fooking core audience!!!"

No one at that table has the heart or the courage to tell him that 2FM hasn't had a core audience in years.

"Get this fella outta my sight and get me Jonny Sexton's agent on the phone ..NOW!!!!!!"

ray d'arcy filled in on some 2fm weekend shows in the late 1990s, between the period of finishing on The Den on Network 2 TV and starting on Today FM in 2000
