    Lady Gaga at least once an hour with varying sh1t song.

    That Pitbull f*ckwit, if I ever get my hands on him I will wring his neck.

    And now, just to really get under everyones skin.

    All I want for Christmas has played twice in as many hours.

    What a load of turd. ITS STILL OCTOBER!

    I'm sure there is already a recent thread about Christmas starting too early here already but the stupid search thing aint working!

    So, is it too early?

    Is there no possible way you can turn the radio off or maybe change channel? Bring a CD or MP3 player in instead?

    Today FM overall is quality from 6-am to 12pm

    Between then and the last word, i would recommend the mp3 player or possibly newstalk

    Avoid 2FM. The DJs are almost as moronic as the listeners.

    Unfortunately no, we have no control over it and I cant listen to an iPod or anything.

    Good old piped-in company radio. I'd rather work in silence but all the knackers, of which there are plenty, that work in this fine establishment love listening to the same songs over and over again.

    Nothing beats the King Foley!

    Foley regularly has me in absolute stitches laughing! He's brilliant!!
    I can't listen to Matt Cooper, I hate politics


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,001 ✭✭✭Royal Seahawk

    Actually, if the public can hear it they do need some licence. Total wankery, but I know the kind of station he means. It wrecks your head.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,619 ✭✭✭Bob_Harris


    Newstalk.
    • No **** "popular" music
    • Tom Dunne
    • Lunchtime with Eamon Keane
    • Sean Moncrieff
    • The Right Hook
    • Off The Ball

    Can't beat it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 809 ✭✭✭dylano_k

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 278 ✭✭wing52


    You'd have to have the attention span of a goldfish to

    104.5 seems to be a winner for me. Though it was hard to steer the boss away from WayFM - The God Rock Channel.

    WHAT? You'd rather Ray "I talk nothing but waffle" D'arcy to Tom Dunne? Ray "I talk nothing but waffle" Foley to Eamon Keane? Nonsense, my man, nonsense.

    ah yes. Simpleton scumbags and their ****e music. I feel your pain.

    Why do supermarket managers love playing rubbish? They've had the same CD (Now 47, Disc 1) on in my local superquinn for years.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,488 ✭✭✭pikachucheeks


    Listen to my college's radio!
    :cool:

    I think Spin's good for chart music. Good the way it has ten songs in a row with no adds and Newstalk is good for interesting interviews and topics of discussion.

    To be honest though, I'd happily listen to whatever's on.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,704 ✭✭✭squod


    There's gonna be another JNLR type survey out soon that will suggest increased listenerships for this and that. I just wat to say publically that I don't know anyone who listens to any of the RTE stations.

    Can the people who run these surveys please ask 'real' people for a change. Wadio FTW. Or Phantom in the car.

    If you happen to work in the evenings, it doesn't get any better than Paul McLoone on todayfm between 7 and 10. Top quality tunes all the way through.
