    how was he slating them? i didn't catch him last week, but other presenters (eg. moncrieff) were saying things like "and that will cost you, as eamon dunphy says, 30c"

    i couldn't pick an insult out of that, but they kept doing it so i presume there's somethin in it :p

    I was listening to the repeats on newstalk last night, and during the Orla Barry/Life repeat, they had a contact Newstalk ad on. It still has the old 086 number as the one to text to.

    I haven't been listening to the station much recently, has there been any noticable drop in listener comments?

    there is an advert now on the station encouraging people to text in. the ad starts off by saying how many 1000's of texts they get.

    if they get so many, why are they advertising to listeners to text in ?

    Is it just me or are the texts sent in now just annoying? Most of the time the opinions lack any sort of insight and just spout one or other of the extreme views on whatever the issue being discussed is. Before the premium rate I used to enjoy the range of opinions that the texts would provide, but now I hate when presenters read out listeners texts.
