  • RTÉ 2fm, or 2FM as it is commonly referred to, is RTÉ's second national radio station. It broadcasts popular music programming aimed at a young Irish audience. The station commenced broadcasting in 1979 and has undergone numerous name changes and line-up switches throughout its history. The longest running show is The Gerry Ryan Show which has been on air since 1988. In recent years old stalwarts such as Dave Fanning and Larry Gogan have been moved to the weekend to make way for the likes of Rick O'Shea and Nikki Hayes, whilst Ian Dempsey and Tony Fenton have opted for moves to rival radio station Today FM. 2fm have in turn raided Phantom FM for Cormac Battle, Jenny Huston and Dan Hegarty, whilst recent additions Colm & Jim-Jim were poached from FM104. The station is well-known for being the first in the world to play any new single released by U2, due to the band's long-term friendship with Dave Fanning. RTÉ has since expanded its young people's music radio output. An all-music (mostly of the rock genre) sister station of 2FM, RTÉ 2XM, designed for students and young adults, now operates on the RTÉ DAB Multiplex. In 2008, the station captured 17% of the national audience, the second most popular station in Ireland after RTÉ Radio 1 (23%).
  • RTÉ 2fm (auch 2FM) ist das 2. Hörfunkprogramm der staatlichen irischen Rundfunkanstalt Radio Telefís Éireann (RTÉ). Es wird im UKW-Band (fast ausschließlich) zwischen 90 und 92 MHz gesendet. Mit seinem Musikmix aus Pop und Rock (Musik) richtet es sich eher an ein jüngeres Publikum. Der Sender startete im Mai 1979 als Radio 2. Das erste Musikstück, das gespielt wurde, war "Like Clockwork" von den Boomtown Rats. Die ersten Worte wurden von Larry Gogan gesprochen, welcher auch heute noch seine Sendung Golden Hour moderiert. Mitte der 80er-Jahre stellte der Sender auf 24-Stunden-Betrieb um und änderte seinen Namen in 2fm. Besonders bekannt ist die morgendliche Talkshow The Gerry Ryan Show, die mit über 400.000 täglichen Hörern die meistgehörte Radiosendung Irlands ist. Finanziell steht 2fm auf eigenen Beinen. Der Sender bekommt keine Zuwendungen in Form von Lizenzgebühren, wie die Muttergesellschaft RTÉ. Er finanziert sich hauptsächlich über Werbung und Sponsoring. 2fm verbreitet sein Programm auch über Internet sowie über Satellit 28,2° Ost, 10744 H, SR: 22000, FEC: 5/6.
