    Nova appeared on the South-East DAB trial sometime over the weekend! High quality too - 160k so everyone get your DAB radios set up! :D

    been listening all day, and so far, I like what I'm hearing. I'd have a recognition rate of about 90% which is exactly what I want. And the lack of ads/news/inane djs is top-notch :pac:

    seriously tho, playlist suits me so far, here's hoping it stays like that.

    Someone made a comment on the Nova Facebook page that if they just continued with the music and no DJs it would probably do very well!

    Oh you can, you really can. Indeed I would say U2 shold be nowhere near a Classic Rock play list. :)

    And now Bon feckin Jovi. I wouldn't mind if it was Livin on a Prayer, but it's bloody "I will love you babay, aaaalllllwayyyyys".

    Goodbye Nova, I'm sticking to my mp3 player and podcasts.

    if they programmed the list not to play two bands in a row, it wouldn't be random would it? //pushes glasses back up nose

    yeah - there are some dodgy ones in there in fairness. But this morning, I heard Iron Maiden, AC/DC (not thunderstruck for once!), Pearl Jam, Rush and Zepplin comma Led. Can't complain!

    ...and now it's more U2. MORE!!!:rolleyes:

    Now, that's 4 U2 songs in an hour.

    I estimate that you can get between ~15 songs played in an hour (none of the songs I've heard so far have been Floyd or Zep length ego trips).

    That means that 4 of 15 songs on a random playlist have been U2, that's roughly 25% of the songs on the list. :eek:

    Nova is billed as being for "Dublin and the Commuter Belt".

    An estate agent once told me Dungarvan was within commuting distance to Dublin, you should be ok.

    That must have been the other Dungarvan (In Kilkenny)! Though with the by-pass and motorway 2.5 hours is doable to the Mad Cow

    Has anyone else noticed that they seem to be playing more and more pop rock (if you know what i mean) and current stuff the last few days.
    They were playing Orson (sp) this afternoon around 4.30. Not what i want to be hearing on a so called classic rock station.The rest of the stuff seems to be good mind you.

    Judging by the test tranmissions that I have heard, Nova are trying to tick as many boxes as possible and certainly thay have been pretty flexible in their definition of "Classic Rock" .

    I have to say that there is such a mix of tunes that there is something there for most general rock fans. Here are just some of the different mix of acts that I have heard: ACDC, Guns 'n' Roses, The Cult, Stiff Little Fingers, Prince, The Who, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Oasis, Elton John ("Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting" and "Pinball Wizard"), The Police, The Boomtown Rats, U2, Janis Joplin, Led Zeppelin, The Clash, Depeche Mode, Thin Lizzy, Dire Straits, Gary Moore, John Cougar Meloncamp, Fleetwood Mac, Genesis, Franz Ferdinand, The Eagles, Don Henley, Bryan Adams, Jimi Hendrix, Steely Dan, Donald Fagan, Slade, Def Leppard, Bruce Springsteen, Roxy Music, Yes and The Devlins. Look at the diversity in these acts.

    I saw an ad for Nova on the side of a bus this morning. It read..

    "Radio Nova 100fm.... Seriously addictive music"

    It's only a test loop of music though, not an indication in any way of the actual playlist once they launch. Sure I heard some god-awful techno remix of The Doors - Riders on the Storm a couple of days ago, somehow I don't think that will be played after they officially launch :D

    I'm liking all of the above but i hope when the shows start that they'll be playing more modern alt/rock stuff too (and i dont mean Florence and the Diamonts etc..leave that to Phantom..:rolleyes:)..I'd also like to hear some reggae and Ska too.Unfortunately at the moment we're spoilt with all that music, but from next week we'll have the DJ's interupting our listening pleasure ,so we'll be down to possibly less than 10tracks /hour.....:(

    ok, having listened for a good while today, I would like to second the motion that there are too many U2 songs in the playlist.
