    Hilarious. Tell us, Heybaby, when will you improve (and present from a studio when it's daylight outside)? Maybe then you could pass judgement on Louise.

    Your smart replies carry a lot less weight now Heybaby, sorry :pac:

    Anyway let the 4FM bashing continue I suppose... "Life support", wasn't it? Yawn. :rolleyes:

    On a serious note, do 4FM need this show now with the talk output at night?

    guys and girls can we get back to the topic at hand. No matter who you are on this forum programme director, radio presenter, or just plain old plain radio critic, please do not get into the 'we know who you are business'.

    The forum rules are quite clear on this matter

    Please continue with the discussion on the David Harvey Show and leave the rest for another forum.

    A listener issued a complaint about alleged racist comments made on The David Harvey Show and 4FM generally. In her complaint, Ms Murphy stated the comments expressed were clearly offensive, cruel and had a negative impact.
    The complainant claims that it is the view of many people that Classic Hits 4FM is becoming a platform for people to articulate their racist views towards African People and members of the Traveller Community under the pretence of refugee/asylum, welfare and unemployment issues
    The BAI upheld her complaint that 4fm did broadcast racist statements and treated African callers differently.

    I remember listening to one of the shows with an African caller, and thought Harvey had balls to interrogate a caller.

    Yes, they upheld the complaint, but they did NOT agree with the particular part that you quoted (about 4FM becoming a platform for racism). You should look at it in more detail.

    I was quoting the complainant in the BAI report. Read my post carefully.

    Not quite. You were specifically and selectively quoting the part of what the complainant said that the complaints committee directly disagreed with.
    The Committee did not agree with the complainant that the programme in question was evidence of a systematic failure on the part of 4FM to meet its requirements under the Broadcasting Act or that 4FM is responsible on an ongoing basis for facilitating and encouraging discrimination or hatred towards minority groups. The Committee did not conclude that the moderation of the programme and the contribution by the presenter constituted racism.

    Yes, the complaints committee agreed that racist comments were made on the show and that the station didn't keep the show balanced enough, however they did NOT agree that the station were, purposefully or otherwise, becoming a platform for racists - which is the part you quoted.

    I was going through the radio stations a few days ago when I heard right-winger David Harvey back on his racist yakety-yak show.

    Mitch Hedberg: "Rice is great if you're really hungry and want to eat two thousand of something."

    4FM. Maybe I heard a clip from an old show as I don't see Harvey on the 4FM website.

    I don't know who is more unbearable, Boylan or Harvey.

    They are both terrible in different ways. Their nauseating voices pierce through my ears so I don't listen to either of them anymore even if Harvey was filling in for Boylan. I switched over to Newstalk a long time ago and I've stayed there. At least Newstalk don't have Jeremy Kyle style shows.
