Dermot & Dave going to drivetime (98FM)

Fago!

Dermot & Dave off of 98fm are moving from breakfast to drivetime on 30th of August *I think*

Finally I'll be able to listen as I'm a lazy bastard who can't wake up before 1pm. Also, we don't have a funny show on in that timeslot at all on the radio, so it'll be interesting to see how the JNLRs will be affected - will more people tune into that type of radio at that time, will they tune out...

Do you think it's a good move? Who ever is replacing them is gonna have a hard time.

taisteal

I just heard. I'm raging. What will I listen to now?

I'll probably change from 98fm because aside from The Morning Crew, nothing else blows me away.

Badabing

Dublin listeners still won't have a funny show on at drivetime because them two just aren't funny.

Bard

Looking forward to hearing it myself... and (more importantly, almost) D&D say they're looking forward to the change and the challenge.

The current rumour (nothing more at the moment) is that Steven Cooper is to replace them at breakfast...

Triceratops Ballet

I am raging, what am I supposed to listen to in the mornings now?!

Is it Steve who replaces them in the mornings when they're away? if so thats me gone, I can't bear him!

Kickbox

I am so excited by this news. I'm never up early enough to enjoy them as I work late. Best of luck to them both and I'll be listening.

Bard

I'm hearing now (from an excellent source) that it won't be Cooper or Pierce (or anyone from within 98FM) replacing D&D at brekkie, but someone from outside the station - a pair of presenters, one of whom is already presenting breakfast on local radio.

And who would this pair of presenters be?

*begins pointless speculation*

I've told you all I know, I'm afraid

Heard that too from my own reliable source.

Hmmm, already on local breakfast radio... Hmmmmmm.

The 98FM Breakfast show with Jim Mcabe and Debbie Allen. NAAAAH it'll never work!

The Fame

I know you said one of them was from local radio but could be a former breakfast show host on 98fm and has been currently on national radio for a few years! She is now on weekends?

Who else would be in the running?

bbability

Liam Coburn returning me thinks..

Fago!

The blueberry alarmclock with Jim and Niamh.

Unlikely that it'll be the *anything* alarm clock... when C&JJ went to 2FM, their breakfast show was originally going to be called "The 2FM Alarm Clock with Colm & Jim-Jim" but FM104 threatened to sue, as far as I know...

Heard that too. Hmmmm. The 98FM Alarmbell?

To be honest, I don't see why they'd dump the name "The Morning Crew" ... it's worked fine so far & it's not like D&D(&S) were the first ones with that show name on 98FM

More chance of Terry Wogan getting the gig than any of those names.

Hmmm, maybe. Maybe they'll get some young punk from Spin to do it!

From the stories that are going around TODAY from national stations, we could be hearing a former tv presenter fill the role on 98fm. No more presenting sport or holiday programs?

Who?

jimmy2flutes

That's the name I heard!

Fago!

I'd listen to him.

Aussie Sean

I've heard him on Capital in London and he sounded good.

Maybe he's giving up the holiday shows but not the sports!

didn't know he was a presenter there. I'd well listen to him. Would 98fm be his style though?

Unrelated note, why do you sign your name after every post? Put it in your sig.

Fago!

So they're starting today! (I think).

Are they?

Bard

Nice simple start with a couple of "HOWRYA!"s, no messing about... the cash call and straight into a song and a promise to shortly explain why they're on both brekkie and drive for the moment...

Welcome to the afternoon slot, lads... expect ye'll rock it

Fago!

One of the first things they said cracked me up - good start!

I'm looking forward to today's show.
