FM104 using AH Thread Topics on Breakfast Show

Loopy

I have noticed the last few mornings that their topics for discussion are all AH Threads Titles..
Thought it was a coincidence and then this morning's was 'Strange things you do', which was a recent thread


Is this a regular thing with radio stations?

Well boards is open to public reading loops so I don't think they are doing anything wrong.

I have noticed an increase in anti-Dave McSavage opinions around Dublin which I presume are stolen from After Hours.

Yeah I've read on here about this happening frequently enough. I remember someone saying that 98 were talking about one of the threads (I think it was the Stingiest People one?) and were even reading out post. Phantom were reading out posts from the Hottest Election Candidates thread this week too!

They existed before the internet.

On two recent occasions topics have been referred in the Sunday World aswell....although surprisingly nothing has been mentioned about how much of a tool Paul Williams is.

And all the bother we go to making the podcasts... :P

No, this isn't unusual. Not too much we could do about it though I would guess. Except for making sure every thread title is really boring

Someone should start a thread about sh1t radio stations and plagiarism.

I noticed that hottest election thread topic getting a mention in the metro earlier in the week alright. Then again... they don't really report much.. more so write what they think they've noticed on other websites...

... Anyhow, the problem here so is that there's sh|t presenters on the radio who can't come up with their own gimmick and reporters that use another guys joke as a freacking story...

That will definitely be the next topic of conversation on FM104 for some weeks to come.

Ive noticed beat 102-103 doing that aswell!

The Adrian Kennedy phone show did this about a year ago and that chap Jeremy he has in the studio with him to stop ripping off things you're seeing on boards.ie.

Brilliant.

If any of you lot from the TV without pictures want to steal use any more of our topics for discussion, please be aware of the nominal fee of €100 per post quoted and €1000 per thread. Payable to me in wads of cash.

AnonoBoy

Of course the real problem is people listening to FM 104 in the first place. That's a cack radio station altogether.

Adrian Kennedy if you're reading this then you're a lying *******.
When I was a kid I used to ring your phone show competition for a swatch watch and you told me to keep trying and I'd win.
Well guess what? I didn't.

And as an upshot I now hate gingers.

Thanks

No worse than Radio Kerry down here. People only listen to that in the hope that the death one of their rich relatives is read out in the family notices. They should cut the crap and call it "Inheritance Radio".

Agree its a shit station, but I flick through them all in the morning as I cannot bear the adds and Ive lost my CD Case:(

Actually just seeing the thread there 'Best biscuits for dunking' was being discussed my way home last nite too..

BaconZombie

Newstalk about ALOT of stuff from Boards and I've seen while a few Metro "articles" that look just they were either copy from Boards or used boards as source material.

5318008!

What's even more scandalous is that a lot of AH thread ideas are stolen from news/radio/tv.

EDIT-

Oh god!!!!

Where do these ideas even come from?

:eek::eek::eek:

Using idea's for topics these radio peeps see on boards.ie is one thing but one presenter was reading out posts from boards.ie as if they were txts sent in to his show which is well ****ed up. Credit where is due ffs.

Could fm104 really be that stuck for material that they root around in the bargain basket of Boards? :pac:

Bonavox

The PhoneShow also brings up topics from the AH Forum, and abuses or supports them for 30-45 minutes.

They say its from an Irish forum site, and it always seems to be threads on the AH forums . . .

i102-104 featured something very similiar to this not so long ago. (pretty sure it was on iGo Home)

Scrambled egg

Few weeks ago FM104 brought up the "Hottest Irish Female" thread that was here a while ago and mentioned it was on boards.

Those weilding pitchforks are the heart and soul of this forum and it's their opinions which end up being used as cheap research.

I take offence at that.
10% of all posts on this site are in this one forum.
At least 16% of your posts are here too.

It's not Shakespeare, but it's ours and we love it.

"All your Threads are belong to us"

What about if we create a thread here called "FM104 is crap"? I'd be happy to let them steal that.

Well, Mark Nobel has been doing the Strawberry Alarm Clock so it really wont go on any longer when Jim and Niebh get back.

No offence intended Terry. I wasn't slating it, given that I do indeed post here a fair amount. But I find it interesting that a radio station would have interest in it considering that its hardly the brains of the operation. Every so often you might get a little nugget of a debate going. But in order to use up around 16% of my posts here, I'd lurk frequently out of boredom. You have to admit yourself, that the amount of topics that come up repeatedly is head-wrecking. Despite this, I've made some pretty good friends here.

It is the car crash TV Board or the "dumbed down" board!

Q102 had best biscuits for dunking in your tea as a topic yesterday - see http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055573923 thread. I'd heard it mentioned here first. They must not know what to think themselves.
