2fm - New schedule coming

Bogus, the problem as I see it is that RTÉ didn't process the invoices correctly. In effect RTÉ were paying the contracts a monthly wage asking them to invoice each month by the same amount, rather than for work done.

I think people might be shocked if she was on €10k or on €100k.

According to one article RTÉ looked for 30% to 50% cuts on some wages if they were to become staff, that seems to be a very big cut.

Mark Cagney is on record for saying that TV3 got him to take a 30% cut, meaning his wage with the station was quite high, in fairness to Bob a 30% could only come in at about 120k with a 50% cut in at about 170k. But that's a hefty cut for anyone below 100k.

Cagney would have had a high profile when he start on TV3 as he'd be on Radio for a number years prior to that.

Yes Cagney was high profile when he started with in 1999, though in fairness his popular years nationally were a good few years before this (his decade with Radio 2 up until 1989).

After that it was 98FM in Dublin only and the 1st year of Today FM.

Apart from being the station voice of Newstalk liners, what does he work at now ?

Its interesting how the majority of the top 10 talent in RTÉ seems to be able to stay as contractors.

Dave Fanning is on Saturday evenings on RTE Gold and this a rare appearance for him on 2FM these days.

Dave can't quite let go of 2FM!

He is he last remaining connection to the original presenters from 1979 and, for that matter, the last left from the 1980s. In fact, correct me if I am wrong, but I think the next longest serving presenter is Mr. Spring from about the mid 1990s, and I think he might be the only presenter left that started with 2FM in the 1990s.

listening to tracy clifford they had some showbiz correspondant/person who wasn't lottie ryan. they have two doing this job or was it a holiday relief guy?

"2FM - where summer never ends!"
