    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
    I am lots of things, but that I am not. I rarely listen to it and change station if jingles, adverts bingo or the angelus start on it.

    Hi Jim! for someone who 'rarely listens' to TIPP FM, you know a lot on JLR figures for the station.... bet you are a radio-head nerd :eek:

    Think I seen Fran Curry driving a 12-TN TippFm sticker-ed Peugeot 308 through Thurles today. I hate his show and its jingle. "live from the Thurles shopping centre (centre) Tipp Fm!"

    so i could make the same accusation to you that you made to me that for someone who does not listen to it much you know a lot about it. Even more than me with JNLR data

    EDIT While I wold not be afan of any pop music at the early morning i listened out of curiosity to Ego Burchaels replacement. She is quite good and does nt give the impression of being so full ofn her own importance

    Oh god another yank on Tipp today looking for his family roots. Past few weeks they have had Canadian's Americans the lot on the show.

    He goes. "Can i read from my journal will take 18 seconds?" Seamus is like yeah (probably a big celebration he is wasting time because they haven't any caller)

    as a radio head i often tune into tipp fm, what with it being my local station and all.

    my opinion is that the station is primarily aimed at a certain demographic, as they know that a younger one will just listen to Spin SW or Beat anyway, they dont bother with them.

    I am in my early 40's, but even I think the station is aimed at older people than I. The obsession with early/mid 80's soft roack and power ballads. similar stuff from the early 90's. The fact that their jungles/adverts all sound the same its obvious they only have one or two sound effects (BTW Newstalk has the exact same problem) which mades it sound cheap and also community radio standard. the jingles and other sound bites are the stations identity after all.

    even the logo reminds me of the early 90's as opposed to 2012. the eatly 90's were 20 years ago lads.

    We get an hour of country and irish on the evening drive time show. yes i know, we do not have rush hour traffic and such like, but we do have people facing long enough periods in their car after work. My problem with the last hour of the GoHome Show is that its followed by another three hours of country and irish/ hits and memories with Tony Brooke, the happiest man on radio.

    Most late shows are "romantic" just like on the Dublin stations back in 1989.

    Fran Currys voice mades the speakers in my car reverberate something awfull, and again the classic cafe songlist is a mix of ballads/country and irish and stuff from the 80's. In that regard he fitted right in with the go-home and the breakfast bowl. Cant comment on seamus martin, havent heard him in years.

    So, I get the impression that it is a station aimed at prople who were probably wearing trendy jumpers and going to dances in the 80's. fair enough, if i was ten years older i would probably love it, I am not, so as i say i regularly push the scan button on the car radio and sample it, otherwise I dont.

    if that pulls in 50% on the JNLR fair enough. I just think that the station could be a whole lot more and represent a whole lot more if they wanted to.

    I only listen to it if I cant make a match and they have coverage and even thats a struggle, but the parents would have it on fairly regularly, the two that really annoyed the sh*t out of me was that clown in the morning which they appear to have got rid of, and the woman presenter in the evening with her word plays and what not, sooo fcukin annoying and she just randomly laughing at everything she says :rolleyes:

    I think this post puts my thoughts on the station better than I could. Thank you your holiness.

    Where has Aoife McGrath gone. I often heard her read the news on Tipp fm and then I know she moved to WLR where she worked part time, but seems to have gone from there now. Helen Aherne seems to be there part time now, with Liz Reddy, Sinead Ahearne and Mary O'Neill formally as Beat the full time news readers.

    never hear them on RTE. On Tipp they sound pathectic like they are trying to pad out the news. I expect they are

    Why would Rte be your beacon for all things great in news?... Maybe you need to expand your listening tastes, stings are used to great effect by most Dublin stations and in Red Fm.... By the way, it's pathetic...

    Yesterday
    I was on the Tipp FM web site catching up with news and stuff and i see where Sarah has undergone a sex change !!!!!!! well according to the description of her Breakfast Show on the web site ..She has become a HE .... Heres what it says !!!!!....

    Sarah gets you up with a smile on your face. He starts at the ungodly hour of 6am Monday to Friday. It’s a feel good rollercoaster experience from start to finish and includes morning teasers, the birthday file and the infamous interactive play or i-play.

    The music is drawn from the 70’s, 80’s, 90’s, and 00’s as well as carefully chosen current music. While the show gives the impression of chaos, in fact it is tight and prepared and you are in the hands of a real radio pro and great entertainer....

    OH WAIT that was written about me !!!!!!! oops !

    What he posted on Facebook

    I think he hopes that a few comments on FB will see him back on again.The way he is carrying on with the facebook posts,only proves what I thought of his ego all along.Well if he is the real radio pro and entertainer that he says he is,he wont be long out of a gig.The way he is talking about the presenter thats doing breakfast now,is bitter,and is not the way a real radio pro would act.I am sure anyone in the world of radio reading that would run a mile from him.Imagine if they gave him a gig,if it didnt work out,he would be whinging on FB again.He is not doing himself any favours.He thinks he cant be replaced,thats the rock many have perished on.I presume its Clare/Tipp fm's new CEO who wants the changes,if so,will any more onair people go.The standard of presenter there is pretty poor I think.
