iWake Up with Dave O'Connor

Brendan Flowers

I moved up to Galway a few months ago. Since then I have started listening to iRadio. A good station. Very refreshing compared to the usual stuff. Laid back, doesnt take itself too seriously. Exactly what I was looking for from a radio station.

However, Dave O'Connor who is on in the morning is one person who doesnt do it for me. The show just seems so fake. So set-up. Tries to be funny but fails most of the time. I have to admit some of the iJacker pranks have been top notch but most of them are just cringe-worthy. The latest being a call he made to some local supermarkets. Now first of all can I ask you to listen to these two videos:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OIIRmIQVXrE

and from Dave....

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYod9Q46J5U

Notice anything familiar? Now I dont mind someone using another persons material. But since then Dave has claimed that he never heard the original and the this iJacker call was all his own idea. For f**k sake! How stupid does he think people are? At least he could man up and admit he copied the original.

Also colleagues of mine have told me how in the past he would tell listeners about certain guests that were going to be on the show (Daithi O'Shea, Rosanna Davidson etc.). Yet it always ended the same way. Something happened off air a few minutes before the interview was due to happen and these people then conveniently (for O'Connor) they refused to go on air. Again give you listeners intelligence some credit. You obviously never had these people lined to come on air. But its bad enough lying to the listeners, you also make these "celebrities" look bitter and petty for "refusing" to go on air.

Sums up his **** radio station perfectly. He's probably the best of a brutal bunch.

I have to agree,D'oC is one of iRadios best/most tolerable presenters.
I enjoy his shows when i do get a chance to listen but after a few years of listening to i102-104 im beginning to think theres far more than Dave O'Connor making stuff up.
The show at night is unbelievable,literally.Every single night they have 'an email from a listener' regarding blah blah blah,always super topical/controversial stuff and whats worse is people buying every single word of it.
Their 'Student Diaries' feature is hilariously bad,really really far fetched stuff and to be honest theres no need for the fantasy land/made up stories they'd do just fine without the fiction.

I do like the idea of iradio,its young (really is aimed at under 25's but in reality its actual audience is <21) and aimed at particular regions - its just really really tough listening in the last few while.
Hope it can get away from the fiction side of things,plenty of potential there.

I find this hard to believe,how would he & iradio get away with name dropping celebs regulary that just arent scheduled to be there?
Surely DoC & the station management would be staring at legal problems over such claims??

Please dont misquote me. I clearly said I like iRadio. I find it the best Irish station for light entertainment. I just have some issues with iWake Up. And I made my point with the facts that I had in this thread.

Do you not think the videos I have linked to are a perfect example of how he deceives his listeners? I dont mean to attack the guy I just believe his material and his attitude is very insulting towards his listeners intelligence.

Well do you honestly believe that Daithi travelled all the way to the station in Athlone, prepared himself and then 5 minutes before he was during to go on air threw a hissy fit and refused to because Dave wanted him to play some game called Daithi's got Talent? I call bulls**t. And do you really think he accidentally gave out Rosanna Davison's mobile number live on air and didnt suffer any repercussions from it? Again bulls**t from Dave. Also, does the iJacker video not prove he isnt honest with his listeners?

mstan

I have to agree with the OP on this. Today was a perfect example. While I usually enjoy the iJacker prank calls I thought Dave took it too far this morning when he convinced a woman who had just lost her job that she won a family holiday to Portugal. There is a line and to me Dave really over-stepped it doing that. And also this morning a woman done quite badly on the 1000euro minute quiz (which by the way I think is one of the best radio quizzes) and now Dave is even mocking her on his Facebook page.

Is that the same Dave O Connor who was a DJ on 96FM back in the 90s?

Dave's in his 20's ... so I doubt it.

Big Tone

Different Dave O Connor so.

bm365

Oh God that is such a blatent rip off of the original prank call! I really cant see how anyone would claim that they came up with the very same idea and used almost the very same lines. Has the DJ actually said it was his own idea? I'd be very surprised if he actually did.

Bard

In fairness, most listeners aren't anoraks and wouldn't be aware of pranks, comedy segments or other bits done on UK radio stations ... and at the end of the day, if a bit like that is done well, they won't care if someone on a station elsewhere 'did it first'. Ray Foley for example is ridiculously popular - but do you think his regular listeners really care about him "ripping off" Moyles?... Not a bit.

Dont get me wrong Bard, as I said in the original post I dont mind people copying others work. Its the fact that Dave is insistant that it was his own idea which p!sses me off. It clearly wasnt but he seems to think his listeners are stupid and guillible enough to believe him.

barryd09

I think people are too hard on iradio as a whole.
Its a young station aimed at youngsters,there seems to be a bash iradio thread on here every few weeks.
Its no Newstalk,its not even a 2fm but one thing it DEFO isnt is another Mid-West or GBFM (thank god!!)

As regards Dave O'Connor,it would appear that he was caught out on this one,no doubt about it-that or else its the biggest coincidence ever.

Bard

I don't recall when exactly Dave "insisted" this was his original idea.. perhaps someone could point that out to me..?

I never once bashed iRadio. In fact I made it very clear in the original post how much I like i102104. Its Dave O'Connor who I was complaining about.

Check his Facebook page. He said it there when someone pulled him up on the fact that he copied that prank by trying to insist it was his idea.

confused_dude

another one that was pulled of another station is the snoozy woozy song that is a complete rip from the strawberry alarm clock

right,i wasnt refering to this thread as such,just in general there seems to be people having a pop at them regulary.

mstan

The show seems to rely completely on cheap homour. The presenters are in no way witty and therefore use to "bottom of the barrel" material to try and get laughs.

mstan

And now O'Connor is ripping off New Busters. Has the guy got even one original idea in that head of his? Jesus I wish we didnt have to listen to this guy at work.

Bard

Seriously... do you really think Foley's "News Busters" or the SAC's "Snoozy Woozy Song" are their own ORIGINAL ideas???

Riiiiigghhhhhtttt....

To be fair there is a huge difference between Foley and O'Connor. At least if Ray ripped something off he would joke about it and take the p!ss out copying another shows idea. But not Dave. He seems to think everything he does on his show is original and all his own ideas. Far from it. And to be fair to Foley he does seem to come up with may original ideas wheres I'd be surprised if Dave ever had 1 in his entire career.

And did anyone hear the Fergal D'Arcy Show on April Fools Day? They pranked Dave telling in Ray got offered a job with a station in London and he fell for it. But rather then be happy to see a fellow iRadio colleague do well Dave got all bitchy, moaning that he should have got offered the job and insulting Fergal's "country" accent. He just comes accross as such a bitter individual.

There was a serious enough topic one morning that i texted in about as its a personal issue, during a break my phone started ringing and it was dave, asking me questions then started completely taking the piss, it was then played straight after the ad break, so basically what they do is ring you, record you (without telling you) and play your 'comments'. What i can't stand is every female presenter bar laurita blewitt have stupid put on american accents and are fake as fook callin everyone 'darlin.'

Jesus, that really is taking it too far. I wouldn't have let him away with doing that. Then again is there really anything you can you even if you are the victim of someone warped sense of humour?

I only even listen to the show the odd time but I've found it about as funny as a terminal illness. Dave just seems to lack class and will do anything to get a cheap laugh.

Apart from iWake Up I do enjoy i102104. Barbara, IMO is very good and iGo Home is good banter (even though the loss of Peter Ganly has hurt the show).

Travismccoy

Legally you have to give your consent for anything to be played on air.

C-J

Might have to email and complain, i felt so invaded! Then again my email will prob be read out on air knowing them! Also, has anyone heard of anything more RIDICULOUS than the chicken dance sh1te they'r doing now, i drove from galway to donegal the other day and deliberately made it my business not to switch on iradio. Boycott!

mstan

He's such an ignorant person who seems to think that he is better than the rest of us. Here is a perfect example. Yesterday he went on a rant on Facebook giving out about people updating their status every 5 minutes about their lives. When people got at him about being a serial offender himself he got all defensive and claimed he updates a lot but not about his life :rolleyes:. Since then here is some of the posts Dave has made on Facebook......

"Very cool!! was just on air with Spencer and Nancy on WSTW-FM in Philadelphia. New York yesterday, Philadelphia today.... where to next?"

"Can anyone guess what classic movie I'm watching - it's from 1985 which I just can't believe and its called The ________ ????"

"Split a guys head open by mistake(sorry) - I've mild concussion, he's got stitches and I went back on and scored two tries."

"I wished i'd looked outside and put the shorts on because today is going to be a scorcher!!!! What a beautiful sunrise, people should see it"

"Look at the temp in my car!!" *with a pic*

babybrian

Did any of ye notice Mary McGill and Peter on italk were axed.. she was in my opinion one of the better DJ's/shows along with Barbara. The way Mary was axed was shocking, just vanished with no reason from any of the other DJ's. I even asked Dave O'Connor on facebook and he replied that it would be back next week but it didnt come back so why did he lie???proper little asshole in my opinion.

ucdmike

So this is what Dave O'Connor was referring to! This morning the female on the show called him a knob and he asked her had she been reading the internet forums! I figured it was Boards! Only been listening to iWake Up since the merger. And I have to agree with alot of whats been posted so far. But Dave, if your reading I wont continue the trend of criticising. Instead I'll offer some constructive advice.

First of all Dave, your not a comedian (your not even that funny) so stop trying to be one on air.

Look up the word "Classic". Classic doesnt mean "song that was in the charts for a few weeks 3/4 years ago"! If you are going to have a Classic 3 at 9 then play proper classic songs.

The singing iJackers are generally pure sh1te. Rather than coming out with many poor/midly good iJackers each week why not save the material and just have 1 or 2 really good prank calls.

Please try and remember people dont give a fcuk about your private life. There dont need to be updated about ever little thing you do. It gives the impression that you think you are a "somebody" when all it does is turn people against you. Remember your just a local radio DJ, not an international superstar.

There is never reasons given out on why people leave stations and its not any business of current djs to mention why djs left or were axed.
I wouldnt take it personally,be sure that if it was up to mary & pete (or any of the rest) to say goodbye then they would have.

Can't stand him. Definitely one of the glaring errors of the changeover. I miss bernard and keith.

Rather like how all of Foley's show comes from BBC Radio 2 then?

Better than attempting to be a US station like most here used to, though...

Local non-entities blathering out obnoxiousness and ignorance over the interweb to raise their profile is nothing new, but the rubbish spelling & sense of desperation in that tweet, combined with the complete and utter absence of any kind of funny in it, actually has me feeling kinda sorry for him.

My phone is blocked from this radio station!:D

I have to agree with these posts, im sure the listeners are leaving in their droves, I only listen to the station because of the music, Dave O Connor and Fergal Darcy are really weak DJs and their sense of humour is ridicolous,i would really like to find out who is telling these guys that they are funny? Simon Murdoch is fine though,BRING BACK BREAKFAST WITH BERNARD AND KEITH!!

Dave was on boards today. He signed up today. He replyed too thread on the radio forum. I'll let ye find it.

I don't know if he was ever on 96fm. I don't think so though. He was in East Coastfm when I was doing work experience in 2001 so I'm guessing not!

As for the April Fools day thing did you ever think that maybe the bitchy moaning thing was put on for the radio show?! Ya know as in acting?

Guys a young presenter and very nice as well. He helped me with a college project once which I thought was really nice of him since he took time to drive to my college town and to help me out and he didn't have to. He did it cos a friend of his and person I once spoke to asked him to but he was nice about it and I thought he was funny as well... maybe i've a bad sense of humour?!



You may proceed to rip my post apart now! :rolleyes:

I've no intention of ripping your post apart. Everyone is entitled to their opinions!

The only reason I highlighted the April Fools Day prank is because to me it was very obvious Dave was being serious. Listen to all the iJacker pranks. Listen to Dave tell one of his many "stories". He always has this tone in his voice, like he is about to burst out laughing at how "funny" he is. Even when he is doing an iJacker that requires him to be very serious. Then listen to the Aprils Fool call. His voice is very different, a genuinely p!ssed off, bitter tone to it. Thats why Im convinced this was Dave's genuine reaction to thinking Ferg got offered a better job.

And I really wouldnt mind if Dave was putting his original spin on material that he's "borrowing". But please listen to both videos in the original post. They are almost identical. Bottom line, Dave got caught out claiming credit for someone else's work and now he isnt man enough to admit it.

surewhynot?

I have been reading a few posts by some users in particular mstan and it appears to me that you have some sort of vendetta against Dave O'Connor. I have read through your posts in other threads and you are constantly putting him down. It is a bit sad really to be honest. It is almost as if you have a personal reason for disliking him?

I think that the changes were both good and bad to be honest and everyone is entitled to their opinion but you seem to be taking it a bit too far.

I listen to a few different radio stations and I think Dave is trying his best since the two stations became one. I really like the chemistry between him and his new co-presenter Una. The library prank they did last week was really funny and fair play to them for having the craic for work purposes.

It seems to me like he is being bashed here and I think that is quite unfair. It's a radio show, your lives don't depend on it. But his does so cut him some slack as I'm sure he is reading these according to other posts.

There are many presenters that I am not fond of but I would prefer to give an informed opinion rather than just bash someone because I don't like them for whatever reason.

Petals that is a nice story! Good to see a positive comment...

It's very easy hide behind a keyboard isn't it?

I await the harsh comments to continue, directed at me now, no doubt.

There is no personal vendetta. My opinions are based purely on what I'm hearing on the radio. Couldn't I make similar claims about your post that you seem to have a personal reason for liking his show. Strange that you sign up to Boards and this is your first post. Especially since we know Dave created an account only a few days ago. I would be suspicious that you are either Dave, a friend/relative of his or someone from iRadio.

Ok, so maybe I did bash Dave in some posts and I do apologise for any offence caused. But you cant say I didn't also give an informed opinion. Or do you think its ok/funny to convince a mother who has just lost her job that she has won a free family holiday to Portugal? Because I don’t. I think that’s bottom of the barrel humour. And in another post I just pointed out Dave's hypocrisy. He went on a rant giving out about people updating their Facebook status every 5 minutes about their lives. And so I posted examples of the posts Dave made about himself over the next day or 2.

I take particular offence to this comment of your's. Look back through this thread. When has there even been harsh comments directed at someone because they had a different opinion. Its like as if you are trying to encourage people to attack you in the hope that it while then make previous posts by them seem less credible.

emptybladder

O'Connor ... is he the one that sounds like he has a mouthful of snotty phlegm when he speaks?

Terrible, terrible presenter. Immature, uninteresting, unprofessional, unoriginal and unfunny.

I removed i from my car presets a loooooong time ago because he wrecked my head.

surewhynot?

I don't know the man from Adam like I said I listen to many other shows in the mornings such as Hector and Today FM so I cant label myself as an Iradio fan as such. I just feel it's a bit harsh the way you are talking about him and telling people to stay away from his show and not to listen to him is a bit much - like you said everyone can have a different opinion but by actually stating on this to stay away from his show seems that you are forcing your opinion down others throats. I don't care whether you listen to the radio or not to be honest I just think it's a bit mean to be slating someone constantly and so publicly.

And regarding me only signing up to boards now - well I have been reading the forums as a guest user for quite some time now and only decided to join up now so I can also contribute. Not that it should make any difference to your life why and when I join surely? You've a great imagination, sounds like you are a bit obsessed with him to be honest. I'd love to know what you all do for a living and see would you like someone publicly criticising you behind a screen.

I do not work in the radio business and nor do I have any affiliation with the entertainment/media industry in my career. So I am too a listener - I just don't think to publicly slate someone while hiding behind my screen is fair.


Also can I just say that I really like Bernard and Keith also, I travel nationwide and so would switch between i102104 and i105107 or Hector or Today FM or wherever I am!

Bernard O Shea has been getting abuse from so called fans saying that he left because RTE offered him a bigger gig. From his replies I have seen that he is not even employed by RTE and even if that was the case why would anyone begrudge him advancing himself? Like I mentioned earlier it's very easy to take out anger on the people who have lost their jobs and who have remained. At the end of the day surely it is their bosses who make these decisions and it is no ones fault the way things are.

JoeA3

Sure, Dave's "sense of humour" or lack thereof is up for debate, but at least his voice is listenable to... or at least it is to my ears, relative to his colleagues.

There's a couple of guys on after him with strong regional accents, particularly the guy on at around lunch time (Mark Gunning?) who has a strong Norn Iron accent with a distinctly mid-atlantic flavour. Good grief!! No offence to anyone north of the border but I find his particular twang exceptionally grating.

miketango

I think his show is brilliant!!!! Its a bit of craic in the morning and believe me coming home from nights or working that early you need a bit of craic on the radio.. I love the pranks! And just to clarify my friend got ijacked and he asks for permission to put it on air after. Regarding that woman in portugal well someone belonging to her set her up thats how it works they contact Dave to do the prank and give him all the info! She obviously thought it was funny cos she allowed it go on air. Ye are all moany gits, I'll give ye a number ye can moan to

do most of you have no sense of humor ? seriously people life is stressful enough and a laugh first thing in the morning is the best medicine. i'm not a teeny bopper or his mammy lol i'm a 34 yr old lady who is a professional and intelligent, i know when someone has a good sense of humor, Dave and Onagha have. they brighten my day. some last advice if you cant stand him or the show then DON'T listen :-) :P
