Three times lucky?

2FM's plundering of Phantom FM's staff continues with Dan Hegarty being brought in to present the Sunday night/Monday morning album show which airs from 12 to 2am.

A Dun Laoghaire College of Art & Design Radio Broadcasting graduate, Hegarty says: "I'm absolutely delighted about joining 2FM. It's a big challenge but one I can't wait to get stuck into. The Album Show is going to bridge the gap between Liz Phair, Sly Stone and Rollerskate Skinny – just like late night radio should do!"

Adds programme producer John McMahon: "We've been aware of Dan for a while now. He's a good broadcaster, genuinely interested in new music and a nice fella to boot. I'm confident he'll be every bit as successful as Cormac and Jenny who both sound like they've been on the station for a year now."

Hegarty replaces Jay Ahern who's leaving the station to concentrate on his work with Vital Distribution (Ireland).
