The TV3 of local radio. With the exception of the old skool show on a sunday afternoon, this is without doubt the biggest mess of a station I've ever encountered.

The news readers (at least the one I've just heard) sound like they're in 1st Class reading Ann & Barry aloud to the class.

The music is horrible, the ads are constant and in your face.

(The great idea was to sell advertising to companies at a discount as long as they paid for a full year. This means that we get to hear the same ads, from the same businesses, constantly, all year long)

Crap like the Beat Tweet is cringe worthy as we get to listen to whatever crap celebrity has waffled about next.

Like TV3, it is a fountain of unoriginality, drowning the region in mediocrity.

I quite like beat breakfast TBH but I very rarely listen to the radio. MP3 players put an end to it.

They have the odd good tune on but they do play the same songs about 10 times a day. Better to be like TV3 then RTE my friend,

The place I used to work had this station on for the entire 39 hour week, used to drive me crazy. Not hearing it was one of the upsides of being made redundant!

The three idiots on in the morning boil my blood. The news is a joke, more interested in talking about what Shakira's dog was wearing than delivering any real news.

They play the same music in a constant loop basically all day.

Pure shite!!

Irish Beats is a good show, showcases some good Irish music.

You must be joking? Unless you're a fan of soaps, reality shows and every bit of crap that comes from America...

I enjoy Rob O Connor occasionally, but I am more a Today FM kind of guy, Beat is on as a last resort in the car/kitchen.

[shockwave]

Its supposed to be a young peoples station hence the sh1te music, showbiz gossip and lack of any real news.

I would fill up my earholes with superglue before I'd listen to it.

[wobbles]

Its a shocking excuse for a station alright. Im sure there are good people/shows on there, but they are hidden among the other ****e

[Nypd]

I listened to last weeks news last night on the station.
They must have patched the wrong recording into the pre recorded show.
It had me scratching me head.

[cocoshovel]

Yeah its a dire station alright, and they're alwyas making mistakes when reading out the news that I dont think they even notice. They often talk about threads on After Hours too iirc, or that could be a different radio station.
I worked at a place that was playing Billy Mcarthy every morning, and it wasnt any better I can tell you. I live up in Kilkenny, and most places play the Sue Nun show which I can assure you is 100 times worse than any radio show in Waterford.

This. I'd imagine their target audience is 13-23 (leaving college age)
