    Well, I don't agree with hero worship where it's not due but at the other end of the scale the vitriol and nastiness posted by some people on here is way O.T.T. sometimes. I'm critical at the best of times and many things/topics/people need critical appraisal but there is a difference between that and nastyness but I try to be constructive rather than nasty.... Honestly! So, yeah, let's try and take it up a notch or two and be nice:)

    A nice bit of peace and quiet here. Thanks folks. I think suggestions, discussion, thoughts etc are great for discussion. And, as mentioned by Lenny, may just raise the bar a bit.

    Indeed! Well, a good day and a bad day for those in Radio. Congratulations to those who did well and 'it's not all over yet' to those who got a yellow card in the latest figures. I've only seen the highlights so far. Some stations scored a few and let in a few and a few draws too! Either way, I don't think there will be any bonus payments this season at least. As to whether it's down to the success / failure of individual broadcaster/'s or the Radio Station itself is up to PD's etc to decipher. Some today, might prefer to be going through the IKEA cataloge! It's great that we have such a high POP listenership in Ireland and long may it continue. I suspect that the all (and most important) listener will perhaps hear (or read ) the various press releases and continue to listen depending on Who, What, When, Where and Why.

    I agree with all that Valve. I don't think any presenter or station did really badly. There's a combination of the economy and the change in lifestyles, working patterns etc that it has brought which is obviously affecting the numbers and that's obvious by the drop in the breakfast and drivetime shows. I feel sorry for stations that are getting a battering (verbally) such as 4FM who I'm sure will find their niche and begin to climb the ladder. Lite FM got off to a very shaky start and turned things around as did Today FM and many others.

    Agreed! I can't think of one Radio station that ever went from 0 - 60 from day one, except it could be argued, the very first one, which would also have had teething problems. 4FM did go through stuff that could I feel have been avoided - but alas was not. We're a pretty clanish lot here in Ireland I reckon and that will show itself in the locals figures a lot. Also, I wonder, what happens when a local broadcaster lands a job on a national. If that local station continues to do well/similar without a 'star player' - what does that tell us? And if the National claims that by signing on so and so 'We're moving forward'!! Up a bit, down a bit, left a bit...FIRE! That's generally what happens when JNLR figures are released.
