Jennifer Zamparelli announced as latest RTÉ 2FM departure, following The 2 Johnnies and Doireann Garrihy

RTÉ 2FM have announced this afternoon that Jennifer Zamparelli is departing the station. She had been presenting her own weekday show on 2FM since 2019, having first joined the station in 2014 on Breakfast Republic.

The announcement follows recent news that other popular 2FM presenters The 2 Johnnies and Doireann Garrihy will all be finishing up on the station on May 31.

"I have been working in 2FM for 10 amazing years and now it’s time for me to move on," Zamparelli commented. "It has been a really difficult decision to make as I love my team, and of course chatting to you guys (the listeners) every morning. From the early starts on Breakfast Republic all those years ago, to opening up the phone lines again from 9-12pm, I have loved every minute. Within this time I have gotten married and had two kids and now I feel it’s their time. Florence and Enzo are growing up so fast it’s scary and I really feel now is the time to give them a little more of me, so I won’t be returning to my daily radio show."

"In February 2014, 2FM changed direction to appeal to younger audiences and Jen was key to achieving our goal," Dan Healy, Head of RTÉ 2FM, remarked. "I want to thank her deeply for her energy and commitment to 2FM. It has been a privilege to work with such an amazingly talented person. I wish Jen, Lau and their gang all the best for the future and will cheer for Jen loudly in the next phase of her sparkling career".

RTÉ 2FM is set to announce further details about its summer schedule over the coming weeks.
