Nothing has changed...I think some of the callers are persuaded to go on air to make it look busy,because when they come on they have nothing to say.All I can say is that people in this county are easily pleased, if the listenership figures given are correct.Diction/grammar..have they ever heard of them?

news at 5.30 today 'minister for the enviro ment' So desperate for callers they have a free phone number

Both stations will remain independent and retain their individual licences for their respective counties.The stations have worked closely with the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland over a six-month period
As part of the deal, Clare FM Managing Director Liam O'Shea has been appointed as chief executive of both radio stations.

If the figures listening are as good as we are told,why do they need to link with anyone other station.I am led to believe that the jnlr's are the advert agencies bible? Is this fair good?

good point. don't hear em boasting about their need to link on their news or shows

Say what you like about Aaron but he always pulled in the numbers. His JNLR data was always very good and whilst not my taste, there is an audience for that and he always found it. They will struggle to maintain that listenership now that they have sacked him.

when and why was he sacked was he not on last week. pain in the ass he is anyway so full of himself always has to give his name when reading bingo numbers lol

Cost cutting? I presume they will still have a breakfast presenter.If he was as good as he thought ,he would still be there.That whole station needs an injection of some real radio presenters,although,I doubt any would be found in Tipperary! The current affairs guy is a boring know all,the guy on lunchtime is terrible,does he really talk like that,or is it a radio put on voice? could some one please tell him the word is "US" not "UZ" when he invites listerners to call.He always say's "Call uz now "...

Seamus Martin and his obsession with GAA is pathological. Recently he was interviewing a gombeen councillor about rubbish dumped on road who said it was thron there

Listen, firstly I am not connected with the station but I do understand how radio works. Aaron has/had a very healthy listenership, which he hands over to Seamus at 10am. If a radio station doesn't bag listeners first thing, they play catch up all day and it never recovers. So, if the new breakfast presenter doesn't at least maintain Aaron's figures, it will have a knock-on effect throughout the day. That leads to a poor overall JNLR figure which in turn means that national advertisers will be more reluctant to advertise with them. Local advertisers are not JNLR focussed to the same extent as the Nationals.

So, if Aaron was costing too much then they need to make sure that his replacement has the ability to keep the listeners or else the overall advertising spend will suffer in the medium term.

Those JNLR figure do not mean much. They can be manipulated to mean anything. RTE will claim to be the leaders too. Tipp FM says they are number one in Tipp. What other station is in Tipp except community radio in tipp town and st josephs hosp. Not much competition. You can twist it whatever way you like but the fact remains you can prove anything with statistics. If they are that good why do they have to join up with clare


I was told of a deal on something i wanted went to the shop and bought it and the shop owner said "lucky you listen to TippFM." i said "I don't someone told me," which was true. The shop owner said he did not listen to it either

The station is pathetic interms of diction as someone said. Their news out put is half the time from the net. I also know from listenersnthat anything you say in comment which is not to their liking is not broadcast. They say x wants to tell us about y but at the end of the call x says "thanks for calling me" so they did not actually ring in but were contacted

Aaron has/had a very healthy listenership, which he hands over to Seamus at 10am.

i do not believe that i know many who would not vlisten to his high pitched neurotic whine at that hour of the morning but will listen to Smug Martin

have to say i listened to tipp fm this mornings breakfast show and i for one perfer sarah than aaron he was too annoying for me at that hour of morning, every thing no matter what has to be freshened up at some point plus aaron isn't/was'nt the only annoying one, that seamus martin does my head in

If his ratings were that good,and brought in listeners and advertising.I cant understand any radio boss with half an idea of the workings of radio.letting him go.On the other hand,maybe he thought he was worth more than he is.The breakfast show promo said it was wacky and funny,I never heard anything funny or wacky...He said his name at every opportunity,even reading the hey Arron bit on texts.The clapping bed is as old and dated as the station sounds.The put th's where there are none,and dont put them where they are,diction is terrible.I have never heard a station play as many promos,maybe they are bulking out the adverts.The adverts are just read as boring shopping lists,instead of some funny and thought out scripts.I agree with the poster that said the callers thank the current affairs guy for calling them.It seems anybody who calls with a comment end up dragged on air to fill out the programme.I also think they have more interest in North Tipp than south Tipp.I never hear the station on in any shops in Clonmel.

even as i said when reading bingo "this is Aaron from the breakfast bowl" The girl just reads them. He is so full of himself and as you say totally outdated. the station plays there or four promo jingles one after the other, never heard that on any other station. It is a totally pathectic station and is a cariciture of itself, especially as the presenters seems to believe their own PR. and people who know about radio have agreed with me on that

Jaysus, if you go to the extent of listening to the Bingo, you must be a fan. Christ!

never said i listen to it just know he has to give his name on it unlike the girl for him it is an opportunity to massage his ego

Ok, fair enough. You are right. You don't actually have to listen to a radio station to know what they broadcast. I'm wrong, clearly.

you are just an apologist for tipp fm
