    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.

    They needed to rehaul the morning shows and KC and Neil are perfect for the time slots.

    I dont hear anyone looking for Victor or Seamus Barry to come back so Red Fm must be doing something right.

    Overdone is right. I've been working in the States for the last few weeks and only today got home and my gf had it on in the car. Jaysus, they're really pushing the whole new thing in redfm aren't they? I'm no expert, but it seems a bit overdone and got quite annoying very quickly.

    He is local, he lives near Douglas.

    Only a physically retarded person would have trouble tuning into the new station.

    I don't know what your last paragraph is about but you sound like a complete Farmer.

    i am wondering myself, its on repeat currently but i'd like to hear a podcast of his show and Kc's today...

    I'm thinking it may be something like this:

    With something else for "greenonred"?

    They're syndicating John Gibbons' National Dancefloor Chart on Saturday nights too, nice to see them aiming to a wider and younger audience on Saturday nights. Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think the Fish Go Deep show appealed as much to their audience.

    I won't be listening to Red FM on Sunday mornings, Prenveville was on, on repeat.

    Yuck! Don't like that at all, I loaded up Today Fm for the business stuff from my iPhone as I only have Red FM programmed on my bedside clock radio [now].

    I would not know that, I like listening to his show during the week, I generally don't hear radio after noon on a Sunday.

    Prendeville's first week was a disaster. Lots of problems with phones and audio playback, on several occasions he ran over the news hour, and he couldn't even fit a five minute quiz into his show on Thursday morning.
    Added to this was the fact that Prendeville thinks there are 52 States in the USA. He even got that dope Colm to Google it because Prendeville was so convinced he was correct.

    The programme is run by idiots. They should rename Prendeville and his two sidekicks "The Three Stooges."

    And Red FM really need to develop a credible news service. Their main story last Monday was Prendeville's new show. Amateur in the extreme :rolleyes:

    On The Neil Prendeville Show today they called out a new Twitter account. What was it? Something like @neilredfm?

    Edit:
    Yep. https://twitter.com/NeilRedFM

    Is it my radio?

    Listening to Neil this past week and the ads come on, they break, giving silent air and then continue.

    It's only when the ads are on, no breaks during the show. Anyone else?

    Red fm news again leading with a prendeville related breaking news story with the whole keith Barry 'scandal'. Who in all honesty gives a flying ****. Just another lame publicity stunt. At the same time the mercy A&E staff are going on strike and that doesn't warrant the top story. Pure bull**** is all it is

    I liked Neill on 96fm, but theres something not right about the show since he moved, I think taking into account his lack of communication skills that PJ is doing a reasonable job, but I think most people accept that he was a shoite choice anyway. however for me, "I have played with the knob" and now hover between Newstalk and Rte 1.
