Head of RTÉ 2FM Dan Healy has said there is “no fear” for the station despite Jennifer Zamparelli yesterday joining Doireann Garrihy and the 2 Johnnies in leaving the airwaves in recent weeks. “To go from people leaving the station to closing it down is nuts,” Mr Healy said told RTÉ’s Today with Claire Byrne. On the reaction of Director General Kevin Bakhurst to the departures and whether Mr Healy is being blamed for them, the 2FM head said “God no”. Speaking on RTÉ 2FM this morning, Zamparelli was asked if the exit spells the end between her and RTÉ. Zamparelli has presented her own show from 9am-12pm weekdays on RTÉ 2FM since May 2019, which she was “on leave” from in recent weeks.
