Head of RT 2FM Dan Healy said: We are very happy that for the summer we are strengthening our schedule with 2FM homegrown talent with Aifric, Lottie and David. 2FM has always been programmed with a mix of presenters who have learnt their craft here with personalities from outside who have built a profile with younger audiences. It always starts with the audience first and this summer's schedule is built with only them in mind. I believe that 2FM has the most exciting mission in RT . Our mission is to inform and entertain younger audiences with wonderful music, chat and sport. The summer is full of music and sport and that is where we will be. We will be working hard to continue to build a station with the next generation of 2FM presenters and there's no shortage of those.
