RTE have announced that John McMahon is to succeed John Clarke as the Head of 2FM at the end of the year.
“John McMahon is a true radiohead who migrated to RTE Television but is now coming home to Radio,” says RTE Radio M.D. Claire Diugnan. “As RTE 2FM faces into a challenging 2010, I am confident that John has both the skills and the vision to steer Ireland’s second most-listened-to radio station in a confident new direction.”
John has worked in Anna Livia and FM104 in Dublin.
He joined RTE in '94 and has worked on many of the flagship shows including 5-7 Live, Kenny and The Full Irish.
His first job as the new main man will be to re-position the station from the current 15-34 demo to the new 25-44.
It'll be interesting to see how he gets on.
