Dan Healy Head of RT Digital Audio and RT 2FM said: The weekend schedule is a blend of emerging and new voices to Irish Radio.The exciting thing about our emerging voices is that they are home grown. Laura Fox, Emma Power and Aifric O Connell have been on 2FM for the last number of years, and also broadcast for RT Pulse and RT 2XM. We are thrilled that Roz Purcell is joining the weekend team , broadcasting with Emma Power. 2FM will also have an exciting night-time schedule which is also being revamped with Jenny Greene, Dave Treacy, Conor Behan, Mo K , DJ Wax and Beta Da Silva. Now that we have bedded in our weekday schedule ,which would appear from the most recent listenership results to be going well, we are focusing on weekends.
