Well they may as well have. They’ve turned some of Ireland’s most talented radio presenters into wedding djs.

I’ve been a radio head and a 2fm listener since I was knee high to a grasshopper. I remember hiding under the blankets with the radio listening to Lorcan Murray and my favourite show for ages was Gerry Wilson’s night time phone in where his listeners educated me on all sorts of insane stuff like ouija boards and other naughty things.

I’m well used to my favourite shows just disappearing though, so the latest news that the 2fm head ‘honchos’ (lead by that guy with the personality of a cardboard turnip that does the sunday jukebox thing) have decided to clip the wings of some of the most talented presenters on radio, while disappointing, is not a huge shock to me. Remember, these are the same people that stabbed Marty Whelan in the back and cancelled his show while he was off on his family holidays.
