    I dunno if this is some sort of sop to the BCI, but Today FM have given its current affairs programme The Last Word an extra half-hour. So it starts at 4.30 pm.

    Will RTEs 5-7 Live re-act and give us 4.30-7 live which wont scan! :p

    Mike.

    It's to compete with George Hook's 'Right Hook' on Newstalk.

    Today FM should be getting Cooper off the air, not giving him more time.

    Matt Cooper is run of the mill IMHO. Not great, but not mind numbingly bad either. He gets a good run in interrogatory style interviewing going from time to time, which makes things more palatable.

    Have you ever heard Cooper? He's as opinionated as they come; which in itself would be fine except he is constantly misinformed or biased. They get interesting stories/people, yet when I hear Cooper try and make a point I want to cry.
