    I'm liking the re-sing of the Chris Moyles Jingles.... they really are just brilliant.

    I think they had an 083 number but you'd think that they're basically re-branding everything that they would have changed to to the 5 digit short code but they didn't so happy days :)

    Is studio@redfm.ie the email address for Neil or for all RedFM shows?

    Is it just me or is that competition for flights and accomodation needlessly complicated? I got lost as prenderville tried to explain it.

    Cheers. Just heard also. I'm surprised that it's not on the RedFM website.

    He seems to have brought his 96 fm sidekicks with him. I doubt this will work, bad move prendeville.

    It better work.
    It's rumoured to be costing in the region of 350,000 Euro to bring Prenderville and team to RED FM.

    If it doesn't, I guess there'll be a nice bundle of radio stations for sale in the next few years in Cork and Waterford.

    Is it the exact same jingle as the Chris Moyles show? or slightly reworked etc intro for Today show on radio 1 when Sean O'Rourke started. Obviously different lyrics I assume :p

    Wars? In the dreams maybe. It'll be more like a Wehrmacht Panzer Division in 1939 taking a stroll in the Polish countryside. :pac::pac::pac::pac:

    The phones were hopping all right, to wish Prenders well and welcome back, apparently all the various adverting totally confused people and some thought Prenders was back at 96, .

    See, the concept for some member of the public to understand different radio stations is akin to older people who won't even try email and the like. Some don't realise there are different radio stations on the dial.

    Some sobbing mother rang Prendeville today she bought an iPhone 5 in a car park off some gangster in a suit after answering an ad on Facebook. She paid over 300 the phone turned out to be a copy from china only worth 150. The phone was for her daughters confirmation a phone shop are giving her a brand new iPhone free after hearing her sob story. A few more also offered. When Prendeville found out the cost of an iPhone 5 he said they were a luxury you can get a phone for €20. I often wonder do they make up these sob stories for freebies.

    They have moved the news to top of the hour, They were never the most youthful station to begin with but they have aged another 15-20 years this week.

    This all new thing is a bit misleading since Philip burke and dave mac are still doing their shows playing the same stuff,alot of switching off after neil id say.

    morning radio needs a guy like Prendeville. Can't listen to the guy on 96 now. Feel my hands clenching when he talks, so having never listened to Redfm i'll move over to it for Prendeville.#
    will stick to Lyric at all other times. Go Marty:pac:

    I'd never really listened to prendeville much before and red is on constantly at work and was only ever a fan of kc and red rooster. I can't see the attraction with prendeville at all, I hope it works out for the station but a lot of my friends have switched off and it does seem to be for an older audience and I'm 30. It's like he's trying too hard to be local I dunno.

    Someone has said already that some people have no idea how to change the station, my parents included, it'll be interesting to see if that older demographic do actually switch. I doubt they will in the numbers hoped for as that audience will have to switch back after he finishes something they won't do.

    All this talk of the 'new' red fm is way over done too. Philip bourke is doing the exact same show since he started no matter what time slot he fills and Dave mac is just too full on. Even that jay guy on with kc is part of the previous breakfast crew, kc will bring the best out of him but I don't find him funny. The sports dept does need freshening up too, Jesus some of those guys sound jaded. The station needed a complete clearout if u ask me.
