Amanda Brunker currently on the Moncrieff Show talking about badly written books.

Could that be true about the morning presenters in NT having to buy the newspapers? I was under the impression that the main publications dropped off copies to the studio each morning free of charge.

Only dip into the Moncrief show occasionally but everytime I do he seems to be spending 15 minutes talking to someone who has written a book about something or other, is this what most of the show is about?

Publishers / PR companies pay the media outlet for such interviews.

Its how the Late-Late show get their guests (that and pulling volunteers form the RTE canteen).

Would you go onto these shows if you had nothing to sell? Since they probably wont pay you!

It was a master stroke by O' Brien to get Yates in there to do breakfast in the first place, people questioned the wisdom of putting an ex-FG TD and Minister on the other side of the mic, but to a lot of people's surprise he did a great job. I've tuned in a few times since he left and the show is a lot poorer because Yates leaving.

Dont mind the "f" word. Lately he's been carrying on like a giddy teenager. Anyone here him on about Tom Crusie this morning. Runs with a story on the front of the sun as if its fact and starts taking the piss with a clip from 7 years ago when Cruise was declaring his love
