I read in one of the weekend red tops that he will try to get the listeners back or he will quit

In any other job he would be fired

He won't be fired that's for sure...that would mean that those who decided to give him the job were wrong about his talent after all. They'd prefer to see the numbers fall and fall and try ever more desperate changes than admit they were wrong about him...and like he said, he'll quit before that point.

Front page headline of today's Irish Daily Mail...

"Tubridy: I'll quit if ratings dip again."

It's not exactly what he said though. The actual quote...

"Of course, there's a point where I would have to seriously consider giving up the 2fm show. If the figures continued to drop, I would seriously consider everything. But I don't think it's going to be an issue that I'll have to go into the bosses and say I've dragged the show down too much. My philosophy is that we are going to come out and make it better."

He went to say things like .."grab it by the scruff of the neck"..."shake it up"

I have a feeling that Tubridy Show is about to get a whole lot more desperate/crap.

He's probably pre-empting the situation by quitting before he can get the sack. I don't know where he's going to get the new listeners from. It's obvious why so many people have switched him off - they don't like his style, which has been over-indulged by his 2FM bosses to the point where there is only a small minority of the morning audience who are actually interested in JFK, Jimmy Stewart, Mad Men, books and bon bons.

I was up in Downpatrick on Saturday so listened to a couple of hours of his show on BBC Radio 2. Oddly enough I quite liked it. He didn't seem too obsessive about his personal interests.

The guy just dont make me want to listen to him (if I could).The BBC show is just more of the same s... Though Fanning is no better, nether is Colm Hayes or John Murray of R1 either, I could go on...so most people on RTE are no good anyhow......................except Joseph Duffy (needless to say;):P)

Yea, Dave's great. Think he has more in common with the target audience, the 'typical Irish housewife' (ugh...) than Tubridy, life experience and all that.

Dave's the cool, more knowledgeable older brother whereas Tubridy is that annoying, nerdy little brother who won't stop following you around.

He's on the front of the RTE guide this week.. I'm sure that in the interview inside they gave him a grilling about his ratings..

You didn't read the article? Are his listenership ratings particularly noteworthy?

Just saw it on the news stand as I was waiting in the checkout line.. Didnt seem to be any particular angle to the story.. Think it was just the perennial pre Late Late Show season interview..

Read the RTE Guide feature today.
In response to any negative comments he gets as a broadcaster, he said he just wants to "enjoy the goodwill that is out there". A quote: "I have this great sense of calm, I am really happy with the world. I don't mind critics, I understand them. I don't mind bad press, I understand it, and it's a great place to be because I can just relax and enjoy my job even more".

Specifically about the radio show he acknowledged the loss in listeners but brought up the fact that it's an hour shorter again, and "we are still a baby and we will grow."

That's basically it really. He doesn't exactly say no to running for President one day, says he's already measured the curtains in the Aras, promises that the Late Late this year will be even better and he refuses to divulge any information about his personal life. Same old Tubs!

Great segment Dave did this morning on the best bass riffs and bassists. Delighted Pino Padellino got a mention but how the hell did John Entwistle from the Who get no mention (well, in the bit I heard anyway which was most of it)

Bit miffed he never mentioned my text suggesting 'Music for Chameleons' by Gary Numan as the best bass riff ever. Dave, I spread the love for you on here, it would have been the least you could do...well, I just suppose Gary Numan suggestions aren't that 'hip' or 'cool' anymore.

*Sigh*

I knew Partridge had done that before but honestly had completely forgotten so despite the massive coincidence, it was not deliberate...unfortunately. Would have been proud of that one!

Have to admit I found myself laughing outloud this morning with Dave when he was attempting to tell the story of the guy who lost the mattress.

Have you ever even raised a smile with anything Tubridy has ever said?



...I thought not.


Dave Fanning as permanent host in the 9-11 slot please 2FM.

miketv

Yes I think I can safely say he has never made me laugh, maybe smile... actually no, well... in a Alan Partridge way

Whereas mr tubs seems to be able to just about tolerate Nob Nation as long as he is not in Oliver's Sights. I can't believe I actually used to like R.T. These days he just drive me away. Another Ray and Tom clone in the making here. With the current set of cringe worthy horrors on mid morning radio a CD/mp3 player is essential. Dave was doing a much better job.
