  1. Jennifer ‘bleedin’ Zamperelli

    Her fake howya schtick grates like fuck after about 10 seconds.

  2. With all the eejits gone I might start listening to 2FM again starting in June…….

  3. The RTE money cow is drying up, terrible when mediocre talent can’t get the salary they don’t deserve.

  4. Did she get poached by the BBC and paid far more money even though we paid exorbitantly more to ‘prevent’ this from happen?

    No, didnt think so.

  5. She started out well on tv…even the breakfast show with the two lads was really good sometimes. But her star faded quickly and she just became ‘establishment’.

    Like that other girl Lottie Ryan that was picked from obscurity.
    🤣🤣🤮
    She’s a shoo in to replace Jenny now as Lottie is just so fucking talented.🖕🤬

  6. Is there really that much money for DJ influencers that they can say “Fuck that” to a regular job?

    Well, regular in that they work about 15/20 hours a week.

  7. Not to be very Irish about it but I knew a guy who worked for RTE when he was just out of school. He said everyone, absolutely everyone, was fucking awful to him when he was there, except Jen then-Maguire, who was lovely to him and looked out for him a bit. He wouldn’t hear a word said against her.

    So whenever I take my cruel and terrible revenge on all RTE presenters past and present she’ll be spared, and in the meantime I hope she lands on her feet.

  8. How is this news, obviously unwilling to take what they were offering her in a new contract. The good old days of RTE are gone.

  9. Thank fuck, another absolute head wrecker, Lottie Ryan and Laura Fox next with the help of Jaysus.

  10. Hey maybe they’ll start hiring people who are qualified to be on the radio

  11. I understand why she wasn’t everyone’s cup of tea, I thought she wasn’t great until I’ve had to listen to Laura Fox the last few weeks. She seems like a nice girl but Jesus she has the Charisma of a lamppost. She is a terrible presenter. 

  12. That’s a lot of people so you’d have to wonder if the station is closing or something.

  13. Oh no all the talentless hacks are leaving …gosh what could we do….hire better people for cheaper  

  14. It obviously doesn’t interfere with their statutory rights,but nonetheless it seems a bit odd RTE can dictate what they do outside work. Conflict of interest or not.

  15. It’s the new register of interests that’s coming in. Lucrative outside gigs may now need to be sanctioned by RTE and that simple won’t suit some of them. They will land on their feet they usually do. It be foolish for them not to have something lined up. It’s no coincidence that 4 of 2fms biggest names are leaving. Podcasting and online work can be very lucrative to them. If they can’t do that whilst working for RTE then expect even more to leave. If they are self contractors anyway they wouldn’t be on the RTE PENSION scheme or have same employment rights as other RTE staff so maybe they feel that of any outside promotional work has to be okayed by RTE then it’s not worth the hassle for them.

  16. We don’t need 2FM,especially when that place is bankrupt,this is the perfect opportunity to close it down – anything less from Bakhurst means this “reform” stuff is pure BS and they shouldn’t get a penny ..,.slash the jobs and perks and bring them into the real world…

  17. 3 prime time shows now without hosts LOL

    Does everyones contract in RTE end at the same time

  18. She’s been there a fair time at this stage but IMO she was easily the funniest and most listenable presenter out of all of them.

  19. Who is she again, was she in Fair City or something

  20. I don’t even listen to the radio when I’m in the car but I always quite liked Jennifer. She was great back in the day on Republic of Telly! Christ, that was a great show. Sadly I only got into it shortly before the main host changed. It’s that long ago I can’t even remember who it was!

  21. Liked her on Republic of Telly. After that she turned into an insufferable knob

  22. Lads youre all miserable gits who inexplicably hate everyone. I wish Jennifer well, she was a good presenter!!

  23. Awful radio. 2FM, where we talk about celebrities for hours on end , because we have no original content.
