The empty vessel syndrome is alive and kicking. There are two kinds of people, people who talk and people who do. The people who talk won't put themselves out there to be criticised but instead wait to criticise every move of the people who do.
For the most part the people who do are too busy to hear the criticism anyhow so it doesn't really matter a whole lot to them.

From what i have read of this you criticize anyone who does not like tipp fm. why don't you go on air. as for the people who do are too busy... too busy massaginging stats i would imagine

I wasn't having a dig at all....I was just asking a question..I don't understand the squiggles after the word "there "...Have you ever heard of a Yamaha DT100 Motorbike? I didn't mean to upset you at all.

that is your thing bait and run. you keep repeating it trying to wind up people. you need to grow up

aisr1ofk43dpy5 · 09-01-2015 10:00pm

I'm not baiting anyone and I'm certainly not running. This is a forum people have different opinions which we're all entitled to. You signed up a week ago and the sum total of your contribution to this thread is some rubbish about massaging figures. It's amazing a newbie found his way on here and got upset by something I posted, just how new are you :-)

I thought the DT in your username meant you signed up after a skinful, so that means I know nothing about radio or motor bikes :-)

Enough of the childish behavior and bickering. Please get back on topic. If you have a problem with a particular post, report it and leave it. I've issued a number of warnings on this thread and bans will be given if this continues.

aisr1ofk43dpy5 · 09-01-2015 11:44pm

Ok Mr.G sorry if offence was taken, none was meant.

03-02-2015 1:09pm

When Tipp FM was merged/taken over by Clare FM,they said they would share costs in non broadcasting areas.I see that some weekend programmes go across both stations.I think that would be sharing costs in broadcasting?It wouldn't surprise me,to see,at some stage in the future,that Tipp FM would broadcast mainly from its studios in Nenagh...and just have an office base in Clonmel.

Jim Bowen · 04-02-2015 2:50pm

Then the banner-ification of Tipp FM will be complete

Jim Bowen · 05-02-2015 8:57pm

Which is more important? Listened yesterday or Market Share. I see in the latest JNLR that Clare FM beats Tipp FM on 'listened yesterday' but Tipp FM has a greater 'market share'.

In laymans terms please, which station is performing better?

johnplayer · 05-02-2015 9:23pm

Market share is by far the most important thing for all stations as it simply measures the time spent listening . Dipping in and out of TippFM is ultimately of no benifit to the station. Share indicates the loyalty to the daily output and obviously all targeted advertising is more likely to reach its intended audience as listeners stay with you longer . Creating new audience is the battle for most stations because the likes of Tipp ( while the news today is promising ) need to attract new listeners and can't depend solely in the already converted . They will be crunching quarter hours on all shows and seeing where improvements can be made .

Roycropper63 · 17-02-2015 10:36pm

probably not the correct thread but please move,,,,

does anyone on here living in the clonmel area have dab reception?

thanks

johnplayer · 04-03-2015 6:36pm

Not a new show I'd guess . Just someone filling in for holidays .

04-03-2015 8:21pm

The breakfast show still reminds me of miserable primary school mornings.

When we'd get into the car at 8.30, the station was switched from R1 to Tipp FM for the obituaries.

School and the rollcall of death... pure misery!

Did you read the link Dalmation posted?...New programme name,new presenters..They seem to have a problem at breakfast..They change a lot.

See from a report on tipp fm site 3 july Pat English is still mayor of clonmel

Headline - Tipperary is in No Mans Land when it comes to job creation

...Mayor of Clonmel Pat English says they will redouble their efforts to attract inward investment to the area

Just a mistake..I suppose it happens...

I am sure the Munster final coverage will be top notch,as are all the games, they bring to us live...

Jim Bowen · 11-07-2015 3:01pm

They had a good Munster Final preview show from Thurles last night.

TheManFromTipp · 01-08-2015 1:46pm

When it comes to broadcasting in Tipperary latest IPSO MRBI/JNLR figures show that Tipp FM has the lion's share of listeners at 42 percent.

That's greater than RTE, 2 Fm and Today Fm's combined share of the Premier County's radio listenership.

The figures also show that 44 thousand people tune into Tipp Fm on any given day.

General Manager Fran Curry says Tipp Fm's just going from strength to strength.

haveringchick · 14-08-2015 1:42am

It looks as if Aidan Macs been dispensed with once again. He's definitely the housewives favourite. Wonder what's going on behind the scenes?

It seems from other social media that they cant afford to pay him...Last week they were boasting about how many listeners they had..

Can you send a link.

The guy doing the morning chat show on Tipp FM ,will do his final show next week...There seems to be a bit of a clare out going on.

johnplayer · 18-08-2015 11:44am

A " Clare out " hahaha

Jim Bowen · 18-08-2015 7:01pm

You mean Seamus Martin from Cahir will be replaced by Fran Curry from Annacarty; hardly a Clare out

he gave the impression it was by choice when he annoiunced it. he will be there part time he said not on tipp today. no one in their right mind would get rid of him for curry anyway. curry has no clue how to interview. he was on a few days ago for a couple of days . did not listen to any of it.Would listen to SOME of seamus but i am not in tipp or a regular tipp fmer anyway might make sense if they bring in new younger person

29-08-2015 7:55pm

I don't think he is going to be doing anything with the station now....They have extended Tipp Today to three hours,and changed some other shows as well..so that means,no new presenters...Maybe it was on the cards,that they wanted to extend the Tipp Today show,to three hours..

johnplayer · 30-08-2015 12:16am

Always thought it was a 3 hour show tbh and had always thought it was a long shift . Always think it's sure to lose share unless it's incredible well presented and produced with plenty local packages . Talk radio is the most expensive radio to produce for a reason . It's a lot easier to gain share through music radio as it's not as engaging and can be left on in the background . So what's the plan across the rest of the day then ?

Xenophile · 30-08-2015 3:26am

Seamus Martin will be badly missed, he always came across as a man of sincerity and integrity.

Clare FM bought out all the minority shareholders last year, they must think that radio is a cash cow, RTE Radio One have found out that they lost listener share when they moved Ryan Tubridy to 2FM.

In my view there should be two stations for Tipperary. They call it local radio but what is local to Borrisokane is not local to Ballyporeen and visa versa!

It will be interesting to watch the financial value of the company over the next few years. The best way to track this is through the Companies Office.

Forget about listenership figures as most people just dip and and out for Local News and Death Notices.

In my view Tony Hornibrook has a great following from on the road car radio listeners.

haveringchick · 30-08-2015 11:31am

Tipperary has 2 radio stations . TippMidWest is just along the dial. And I don't agree that most just dip in and out for news and deaths. It's on in plenty of houses/cars all day long

The financial side cant be very good,if they had to leave go,the guy who used to be out and about,for the breakfast show...I may be right in thinking,that Tipperary was to be a three licence county..North,Mid,South,but the North never came about..

There could possibly be a good case made for a second Independent station for Tipperary broadcasting from Nt Tipp .

I remember I was in Nenagh one morning January/February 2014 (wasn't that long after TippFM opened the Nenagh broadcast centre) and I went into Subway for breakfast and the radio was tuned into SpinSW. In fact every shop I went in to on Pearse Street that had a radio playing in the background on were tuned to SpinSW.

Anyone hear anything about KCLR (Carlow/Killkenny franchise holder) joining the mighty Radio Group that Mr. O'Shea is building?

I heard there'll soon be a connection between KCLR, Clare and Tipp - subject to all the usual business and regulatory stuff.
Maybe I heard wrong.

07-09-2015 3:06pm

Where did you hear that?

Expunge · 15-09-2015 11:29am

From someone not in any way connected to local radio but keeps an ear to the ground.

Like I said, maybe I am misinformed.

TheManFromTipp · 26-09-2015 6:19pm

The new man in the morning is not bad at all...I wonder why they changed a couple of programmes around,when they were doing so well in the ratings,from the last survey..The only thing that sounds a little bad,is the news at 1am,[after the morning show repeat],is the news reader says "Good evening"..Now I know that its not live at that hour,but don't make it so clear that its not....A lot of country during the afternoon now,I am not mad keen on that,it sounds like they are sounding like Tip Mid West,but TMW are popular,so maybe that's the plan?
