    Do Spin not buy in a package? And 98fm do all of their imaging? .They must be looking abroad for a package.

    This was answered by Lisa Dignam herself on here before, no it's all done in house now they just buy in the ramps and sung imaging from Reelworld. Judging by their sound i'd say they use Production Vault CHR.

    Looks like Spin SW has had a reshuffle of presenters...

    Seems that Alan is gone off Spin Talk, replaced by Nessa Harney.

    Antoinette from the Zoo Crew has replaced Nessa on TRL.

    Sheena Faughnan (never heard of her 'til now) has benefited the most from the change though, going from being on Saturday brekkie to replacing Antoinette on the Zoo Crew.

    I also remember there being someone called Orla on the weekend schedule... By the looks of things, she's also gone.

    New schedule is here


    I find with Spin 103.8 they seem to have someone covering a show each day, never seems to be the original presenter for each show throughout the day.

    So the original package is done abroad?

    Just their sung imaging and ramps. All the day-to-day imaging is in house as far as I know?

    Sarina did We Love Movies today.

    Must say she's very bubbly and sounds good on air... That, or I've fallen for her accent... Which is also awesome. :D

    Someone was having a nap earlier on Spin1038, or maybe didn't call in sick when they should have ;).

    The "Story" @ 12:45 (between Ava Stack & We Love Movies) was just 4 minutes of backing track (ramp?) & a couple of ads interspersing what should have been the Sports & Showbiz sections - but with no newsreader in sight... :confused:

    Karen was present & correct for the 13:45 edition however. The perils of playing prerecoded shows with no-one else around to mind the shop I suppose...

    The Spin news is broadcast from a different building. Newsreaders just start reading at a quarter to the hour and hope that the DJ back in Spin turns on the mic. Evidently no one did!

    SPIN 1038 looking for new production manager as their current, Lisa Dignam moves to2FM. Hopefully they'll allow her free reign to sort out that stations imaging too. Her work sounds brilliant.

    Spoke to her recently about this... she's not specifically gone to 2FM. Her new "Creative Audio Production Coordinator" job encompasses all of RTÉ Radio.

    Any idea what time slot? He's been in and out of there for the last while covering and on weekends? Any idea what is going to replace his club collection on 98?

    It could be another Syndicated Ryan Seacrest show or you never know maybe JP might get the slot like he had on Today FM, or would they just have an overnight playlist going?

    On 98fm, I'd say that they will have an extended 'Corona Hot Mix with The Man Ezeke'

    Saturdays at midnight? That's a brutal time to have it on. Guess I'll never hear it again so.

    First thing I thought when I saw the new time.

    Having it on at 9 is great for listening before you go out. Not sure whos still listening to the radio at 12 befoer going out

    Exactly everyone is usually out and hammered by that stage, surely it would make more sense to have it on 9-midnight and then put on spin party through the night. Only people this will suit is the taxi men!

    CCC is a great addition to the schedule but what were they thinking putting it on at midnight? I'm sure Cooper isn't too pleased at it getting a graveyard slot but I hope the podcasts continue- it is the perfect thing to listen to at the gym.
    I listened to a bit of it last night in bed and the music really is excellent. It should be on when people are getting ready to go out. They could have put it on at 8:45 on Fridays, had Indie Disco from 10:45 and then Pete from 12:45 with First Play moving to Sunday mornings at 11:45 and We Love Movies and Irish Alternative being pushed back to 10:45 and 9:45 respectively. Hopefully it doesn't stay in its current slot for too long.



    Shona Ryan seems to have left her Saturday afternoon SPIN Hits show having become PD. She hasn't done the show in nearly 2 months. I just wish they'd decide who is taking over the slot. They've had Nick, Martin, Paul, Steve K and Ryan & Tracy doing that slot over the last 6/7 weeks.




    I'm also looking forward to seeing how extensive SPIN's Oxegen coverage is. They're really pushing the "No.1 Oxegen Station" billing so hopefully they live up to it by broadcasting most of the live performances and not just those of Guetta, Calvin Harris and the "big" names whose songs have been overplayed to death. I can't remember if they had all of their presenters down at Punchestown in 2011 but I trust they'll do it properly and fully immerse the listeners in the festival.

    Anyone know where/ why Jonathan McCrea and Clare Mckenna are gone ? They're no longer presenters of The SPIN. It's Gordon Hayden off of movies and Lauren Kelly now.

    He went off opening his own business and I think, and I stress think she may be on maternity leave. Was watching on SPIN tv one day and she looks pregnant and that was a few months ago

    So it appears that Nikki Hayes no longer presents SPIN mid-mornings/or on the station as a whole for that matter.

    When did she leave?

    Anyways, she's been replaced by Treasanne O'Reilly formerly of Beat 102-103.


    EDIT: Looked on wikipedia and it appears that she's on maternity leave at the mo!
