Zfm: Zig and Zag land their own show

RTÉ have devised a ploy to keep burgeoning radio egos in check — they’re putting puppets in charge of the show.

The newest additions to the 2fm line-up are old telly favourites Zig and Zag who will be back twiddling the dials from this Saturday.

The irreverent aliens, who first landed from the planet Zog in 1987 when they took up residence on Dempsey’s Den, are taking over the weekly 10am to midday slot which of late has been occupied by Tommy Tiernan and Hector Ó hEochagáin, Damian Farrelly and a host of other fill-ins.
