    The London Ear on RTÉ 2XM // New Timeslot

    Ghettoblasters

    This week sees the launch of RTÉ 2XM‘s new schedule. The guys have been hard at work getting new studios sorted in Dublin for 2XM and from the photos I’ve seen, they look shit-hot!

    That does means, however, after four years of having a show (The London Ear and Culture Cafe before that) on a Wednesday, we’re moving to Saturdays at 1300.

    I’m really looking forward to having the show on a Saturday and I think it’s a great move to try and do more for the Irish community in London. Most people tend to work Monday-Friday, so there’s no excuse for not listening on a Saturday.

    Plus, if you miss it then you can always listen on the RTÉ player and on Mixcloud.

    So remember, new time, Saturday 1300, same Bat channel!
