The Poetry Programme returns to RT Radio1 on Saturday 17th October.

Commenting on his new role, Rick O'Shea said: Over the past 14 years, 2fm has become my home and I'm thrilled to be a big part of this new and exciting schedule. The weekends are a brand new adventure for me and the guys and we very much look forward to disrupting your mornings with our usual brand of total nonsense. For all the shows listeners, we're moving shop around the corner and the sign over the door will remain the same. See you on the other side!

Head of 2fm, Dan Healy said: I have been a huge fan of Rick O'Shea's since he presented on Atlantic 252 and I'm delighted Rick is bringing his brand of fan to a weekend audience. 2fm has been increasing its audience at the weekend and Rick will definitely help accelerate that. Being a leader in the social media field and with his broadcasting prowess, I know that there's a huge opportunity to grow 25-34 audience in the market.

2fm will make further schedule announcement in the coming weeks.
