    What is with Irish Radio Stations and the incessant use of the brain numbing "In Studio" everytime somebody even thinks about coming into the Studio! (notice how I said in The Studio).

    I have only noticed this 'Quirk' since being abroad for the last twelve years & listening to radio stations in Britain and beyond, but then I come back to Dublin & every bloody sentence has a refrence to "In Studio" arrrrggggghhhh :confused:
    Thank you for coming into Studio, Joining me In Studio today is . . . I am In Studio with . . . . I am on my way to Studio . . . . Thank you for being In Studio . . . . etc, etc, etc, Ad Nauseam.

    Since when did the omission of 'The' appear on Irish airwaves? certainly when I left these shores DJs would welcome people into "The Studio" and not harp on about the effing Studio in every sentence, I honestly counted Claire Byrne saying "In Studio" thirteen times within an hour one morning last week!

    How refreshing to tune into the BBC & not be subjected to this 'Recent Quirk' of Irish Radio (unique to the South by the way), anyway, I have had my rant now, but I would still Love to know the reason for this mind numbing phrase "In Studio" . . . . .

    Who bloody cares? What does it signify? Why keep saying it? Why leave out the word 'The'?

    Interestingly, Prof Terry Dolan was asked about this "In Studio" business on Newstalk recently, and he said that it was entirely due to "Affectation" which if true? is an awful reflection on Irish Radio & TV presenters.

    Any other ideas?
