Live 95 fm

Placid Casual

Anybody else think the DJ's are woeful?
That fella, I wont say his name in case the Mods might not appreciate it, lets just say his surname sounds like Copius, is AWFUL!
And Agri-view..............!!!!!!:mad:

eamon234

It's not so much the DJ's they're harmless enough it's the bloody playlists they play the SAME SH!TE DAY IN DAY OUT!!!!!! I was working in an office where all the "country folk" wanted it on all day - I eventually asked to be moved to somewhere where there wasn't a radio I was fit to jump off the roof.
The worst is when they try to mix their own jingles into songs it's so twee.
Most interesting thing on the station is the deaths notices!

old boy

that dj surname should be hopeless, most of the time that station makes me cringe with embarresment

highlydebased

Agri View is a waste of time, IMO. They play it at 11 at night, too.

Stopped listening to the station years ago. Behind the times.

Sierra Oscar

If you listen to the station often you will noticed that they seem to re-play the exact same play lists now and then - especially at night.

And those cash prize comp's - they reuse the same ones over and over....

Limerick Dude

Theres a station up in Dublin called "Phantom Fm" plays really great music and the dj's are pretty cool and interesting, a station like that is well needed in Limerick, im not looking forward to going home to listen to the likes of 95Fm and Spin.... *shudders *

Poxyshamrock

and late night love songs with requests from the likes of jacinta "down d'island" and marietta in o malley park

eroo

Live 95fm is the worst station I know of....just playlists of what was popular back in the 80's...ffs

The two clowns that are on in the morning at 7 o'clock are the most annoying people I've ever heard with their fake cheer and silly conversations about soaps etc.I used to have to listen to them on the bus on my way to work.Thankfully I no longer have to get the bus and haven't heard these two for months.When I was working evenings the radio would be on and listening to that guy that reads out those ridiculous letters would make you want to kill yourself.He has such a painful voice and the "music" he plays is a disgrace.I am so glad I have moved jobs and do not have to encounter these irritations any more.

Mr E

There was a great pirate station around a few years ago called Magic (I think).. they played fantastic music, but were shut down (I remember hearing their last show)

Those late night love letters had me in stitches. Obviously not intentional but funny none the less.

Dont get me started. Mark and Catriona.
Worst morning show on earth and thats saying something considering
the crap thats on 2fm before 9am.

I hate Live 95 fm so much I even reset the pre-tuned stations in my car to tune em out.
Only listen to it if I want the news or traffic report. Mark on the Breakfast show has some fcked up accent. the young wan who does the news with the monotone delivery

Is there any way of finding out how many times the Cranberries songs are played daily?

Live 95 fm playlist:
Cranberries - Dreams
Cranberries - Linger
Cranberries - Zombie
D:Ream - Things Can Only Get Better
feel free to add....

Mark and Catriona on the breakfast show.....................................................

shudders...

They play alright music except for when they have someone singing in between the song ''Limerick live95fm''

Today FM ftw

ya,legends!!I remember going to their fund raising gig in Dolans a few years back....rumour was they spent it all on a piss up!

girlwitcurls

i used to mind an old woman and my job was to get her up washed and dressed. however i could not even attempt this until she had heard all the news all the deaths and this crimewatch thing. weird thing was i actually got used to listening for the deaths and felt weird if i missed it!!thankfully i have now moved jobs and can listen to ray darcy!!!p.s i actually think limerick 95 is better than kerry.

bucks73

It is sooooooo bad. I never have to listen to it and thankfully can leave on Today FM in work. Only time I tune it in is for the local football results on a Sunday evening for 5 minutes.

bazz26

I reckon Live95FM get their play lists from the free cds handed out with the Sunday tabloids. Utter rubish..

Shan75

Len Dineen---His voice would make you want to rip your ears off!

RINO87

The college radio wired fm on 99.9 is actually pretty good!! granted there is some tripe i.e. people like dj bounce and his tiesto ****e, but you can be guareteed that you will hear stuff on wired that you just dont hear on the radio!!

it's off air now for christmas but comes back jan7th

theres a great show on mondays at four!

if i ever meet that mark bloke from the morning..........:mad:
his voice goes thru me
and these "impersonations" they do! Sweet God
the fella who does the love letters just makes me laff really.
The fact he is not meant to makes it even better.........

davemc06

What a hopeless radio station!
Can't say much for the presenters either. They should just try and change the station as much as possible, new presenters, new shows!
Today FM is a thousand times better than it!

The love letters are amusing,but they are the best of a VERY bad lot.
I mean who wants to hear some kid go "Mark and Catriona on the breakfast shoooooooooooooooooooooowwww" first thing on a Monday morning?
J.P. ending every sentence with "alright?" and Declan going on about taking a hot cup of Bovril to Thomond Park or something. I always laugh when one of the lads in work says "One of these days i'm gonna break in there and rob that CD they have!"

RonMexico

Has anyone heard the beastly girl that "reads" the deaths? My God where did they find her, she can barely complete a sentence, she is lucky the people are dead or she would have a lot of pissed off pensioners on her hands. I hate the way they play Crazy In Love and add in some piece of shi* 95fm jingle into the songs so that it sounds like Beyonce singing how much she loves 95fm. They deserve to lose their license.

I wonder who it is actually adding those ****e little bits in, any ideas?

Someone from off the street??

RonMexico

maybe its that bird from sixx Emma whatshername. Didn't she have a pop show (shudder) on the station a while back? Seems like the haven't done it with all of the 2 new songs they have played in the past year lol

And just to think the Broadcasting Commission of Ireland renewed this odious station's licence in January of this year for a further 5 years, amid competition from serious broadcasters. A joke! thats what it is, there is some nasaly challenged guy on the drivetime show who is awful, every time I hear him, and his faked bonhomie, I nearly get sick.

I can't listen to it anymore....even RLO would be more entertaining at this stage...anyone remember KISS?

You forgot to add
-"Rock DJ" by Robbie Williams
-"Can't get you out of my head by Kylie Minogue" (I really CAN'T get the awful song out of my head when I listen to it)
-Anything by M-People
-"You get what you give" by one-hit wonders The New Radicals

They just play a pile of mainstream generic rubbish really.

fawltytowers

yeah i think live 95fm is so crap. having moved home from dublin, i'm seriously unable to get used to the rubbish that they have on. another one for that playlist is definitely "one more time" (sorry dunno the singer).

i can't stand your one that goes to do the cash on the streets thing "sorry can i talk to you for a second..." - how embarrassing.

i actually don't mind the deaths, i'm made listen to them by my dad if he's in the car! it's sometimes better than listening to the same playlist over and over again anyway.

and yeah, the rugby commentator is sooo bad when munster are playing. you'd fall asleep..

My Mother loves listening to the death notices. I keep slagging her, calling her morbid:D.

That "One more Time" song is by Daft Punk, if I remember correctly.

There is one presenter who sounds a lot like Big Gay Al from South Park.

Kiss was gas at times! There was a young fella doing a dance show,gave his mobile out on air,plays a song and then goes "If the mother answers it,tell her to bring it upstairs"

Anything would be better than Dive 95

Yes, she reads the death notices using a very false D4 style accent. For example "Prew pewsing at Crosses funeral hewme tewsdey evening, requiem Mawss in St Jew-zevs cheurch Wednesday mourning"

the BCI havent got a clue, their costantly trying to close WIRED FM

speaking of wired, it makes a great alternative to 95, off now for the christmas, back jan. 7th on 99.9fm!!! go on, give it a go!

by the way, was there a station called rock sound or something out a while back? i bought an old heathen vinyl the other day and it had a rock sound limerick sticker on it. i think it was rock sound, i'll have to check!

Not gonna tar an entire station with an opinion of one show (if I did, even Today FM would be in trouble on occasion) but I came across Wired FM the other night in town and the 2 guys on it were dire!

Almost forgot, the Lighthouse Family gets quite a bit of airtime on it. I'd say they're making an absolute FORTUNE in royalties from having their song being played to death on every crap radio station in the country.

I also hate those self promotional snippets where you hear people on the street talking about how much they love Live 95FM (i.e. " Dare's a gray-ash moosik seleckshin, sham!" "I awll-wayaz lissen too ish chrew-oush de dayah!" LIMERICKS LIVE 95 FM)

More Cheese than Michelstown. Cringe cringe cringe. the whole thing, presenters, music, those jingles they put into the songs. The whole thing is a disaster. Its not on my presets in the car any more and I dont miss it.

i'll agree with you , some of the presenters are absolutely awful, i mean there are no repremands if you do a crap show, but there is some really good stuff on it, and the good thing is if a show isnt to your liking, its only 30 minutes long, then you will have something completely different!

99.9 will get you wired fairly well through most of the city, lyric interferes in places alright, again its off for the christmas! just in case you were tuning in and heard some lovely static!

I really hope you're not referring to my show on Wired! (Wednesdays at 6:30, pluggety-plug) Admittedly, our first live show was pretty bad, my co-presenter ate noodles on-air...

As for Live 95, it's been banned from the family car in the mornings. The Breakfast Show goes beyond all reasonable boundaries of taste. Late Night Love used to be pretty funny, when I was 13 I knew a few guys who sent in fake love requests for our teachers. The presenter tries to be enthusiastic, but it's still bottom of the barrel radio. I'm at the stage where I only listen to CDs now, can't stand radio anymore.

even if you dont listen to the breakfast show you get punished with their horrible horrible ad's throughout the day. where did they get their accents???

i appreciate that live 95 does sponsor some local events, but as a radio staion, it = pure pig slurry

Live 95 is what happens when the BCI dont do their homework.. serious competition is needed in the local airwaves. They have just been given a license extension for five more years so dont expect anything radical or refreshing on this radio station. I managed to buy an internet radio and found myself listening to Isle of Man radio 5..by the way there may be roadworks between Peel and douglas next thursday morning which could cause delays!!
Bring back RLO!!!!!!

RLO was tripe for the living dead. Run by a gob****e.

I can't stand that morning show either.Any show that uses a high pitched voice every few minutes and has kids screaming into the phone for 30 seconds really shouldn't be a morning show.Going through all the stations in the morning there is rarely anything good on.Wired is the only station with a bit of variety.
