Why must we pay for 2FM?

WHILE much of the discussion on the increased RTE licence fee centres on RTE1, it is 2FM that has escaped the criticism it deserves. 2FM is a joke.

It's remit as the only music station paid for by the people of Ireland must be to provide music reflecting diversity of tastes. So we all love Westlife? Wrong. Most musically aware adults actually hate them. This music is for kids, so why do adults have to endure it?

2FM essentially reflects the singles chart.
