According to Breaking News, the radio station has said that they will be announcing a breakfast show early in the New Year. Here is the statement in full: Dan Healy, the head of 2fm, said: "Hector is a major personality and hugely loved by Irish audiences and has played a significant role in developing breakfast radio with his show ‘Breakfast with Hector’ on 2fm. "‘Keep her lit’ helped take the country through the past three years of the recession with outside broadcasts from Friday factory floor fillers to second chance debs. "RTÉ 2fm would like to take this opportunity to thank Hector for the enormous effort it takes to broadcast a breakfast show and for the entertainment he gave to his 'soldiers of the dawn'." RTÉ said Hector's will be back for a second of his series ‘Hector Goes’.
