Broadcaster Tracy Clifford is to leave her afternoon 2FM slot, with the station introducing a new daytime line-up.

“Tracy Clifford very much remains part of the RTÉ family and details will be announced in due course,” RTÉ said in a statement.

The head of RTÉ 2FM, Dan Healy, added: “Tracy has done a phenomenal job for the last 10 years on 2FM. I want to thank her and her team for the great radio they have produced over that period.

“I’m incredibly proud of 2FM’s new schedule and the vision behind it. A huge amount of thought, research, creativity and collaboration has gone into shaping a line-up that feels fresh, engaging and truly reflective of the audiences we serve in Ireland.”

He said the new schedule, due to come in from May 5th, features a range of voices and perspectives that will “create a rich listening experience that feels both authentic and inclusive”.

In an interview with the Irish Times published last month, Clifford said she was “very proud” of her show, which aired on a “radio station that has had a lot of ups and downs over the past while“.

“I feel proud as a female broadcaster, for a show that is on in the afternoons. It’s kind of unheard of in a very precarious market.”

The new schedule will see 2FM Breakfast with Carl Mullan, Roz Purcell and Aisling Bonner extended to 10am. Doireann Garrihy will present 2FM Morning until noon. Demi Isaac and Mikey O’Reilly move to Clifford’s slot with 2FM Afternoon running from 12pm to 3pm.

2FM Drive will see Katja Mia – who made her radio debut on 2FM last October when she stepped in to cover on weekend programming – join Laura Fox until 6pm. Beta Da Silva will present an evening show featuring new projects and news, album breakdowns and a selection of music from across all genres.

“Informed by extensive listener research and shaped by what young audiences across Ireland say they want from radio today, the refreshed line-up reinforces 2FM’s position as the original and collective voice of young Ireland: real, spontaneous and always on form,” RTÉ said in a statement.

“The new schedule brings an even stronger focus on connection, sparking unique shared moments, lifting the day and inspiring a sense of belonging that drives everything 2FM aspires to be.”

RTÉ’s director of audio, Patricia Monahan, said the new schedule was “a central part of our ongoing focus on delivering more to audiences as we continue to implement RTÉ’s audio strategy”.
