2fm - New schedule coming

Correct, 2006 was the last time they had a UK number 1, but the streak of number 1s between 1999 and 2002 meant they were a chart force in that period. They had three number 1s between 2003 and 2006, so things had obviously slowed a bit.

Whether it ended in 2002 or 2006, it's been gone a long time.

As part of their plans they have asked to drop R1extra, 2XM, PULSE and RTÉjr/Chill, this won't save them a huge amount of money. GOLD is to remain.

RTÉ 2FM really should some rules about music if it is to be a yuff station.

1. 80% of music must come from the last Decade*
2. 20% must come from Irish Artist (but can go right back to the 70s, they can also)
3. 20% can come from the golden era of previous decade

*of the golden oldies if an Irish artist as done a cover in the last decade that can be plan and count as part of this decade. Or can come from live music sessions.

No debate should take place on 2FM about said song. But I'd happily here it once a week.

Who might say

"This survey covers just over 6 months of the new 2FM Schedule, and the station has certainly stabilised following a period of change. We are very happy with how are shows are progressing."

2FM Breakfast - 131K down 8K

Laura Fox on 2FM - 125K up 3K

The Tracy Clifford Show - 111K up 1K

2FM Drive with Doireann Garrihy - 124K down 1K

Game On - 30K down 7K

2FM Weekend Breakfast with Helen and Benny Saturday 57 K and Sunday 27K down 7K

Weekend on 2FM with Bláthnaid Tracy on Sat 139K and Sun 118K

2FM Weekend Afternoon with Emma and Graham had 109K on Sat down 4K, 84K on Sun down 6K

Don't worry Inside Sport will surely double that figure for Game on when it moves to Radio 1.

Very much a 1980s TV sports type name.

I see 5 green lines drawn through SPORT, the O as a football and INSIDE written in blue below it.

A techno version of the Angelus

Game on is moving to Radio 1 and is to be call Inside Sport, 2FM's evening show for new music will now run from 6pm each week night.

What became of Mo K?

After 12 years it was the final "Game On" this evening.

Will this be the first time 2FM have not had a dedicated sports show in around 20 years?

Remember previous weekly sports shows Ballbusters (Fiona Looney and Andrew O'Connor) and Sportsbag (Robbie Irwin)

Both weekly shows.

Might happen yet if the extra hour gives him a boost in audience.

I’d agree with you. Was really enjoying it earlier and Beta sounded great.

Demi isn’t good at all. Does she have bottle of coke and skittles before she comes on. To loud. His voice doesn’t work for radio

Who told Aisling she can do accents. She’s hopeless at them. Her and Carl are trying to be do the same role but doesn’t work.

Worst duo ever??

And people used to give out about the 2 johnnies.

Just after seeing today FM have been live since 6 this morning and 2fm don't have a presenter live till 9 poor for a national youth station
