irish fm radio v internet radio

yobgod

yup

ok its time to put pen to paper.... irish fm radio is crap and has been for years.
and why do is say this well just turn on any fm radio in your house or car and you will hear the

same news,
same debate,
same sports story.
same old same old music ( well if its in the so called charts ) :eek:
same adds

now turn on a internet radio station and you can hear music

just music,
no adds,
no news
no sport
no crap talk about some celebritys facebook twitter or fashion

so all stand up and be counted fm radio is dying fast
we need the BAI to be got rid of and allow real radio back on the air waves

check out zenithclassicrock if you like music these guys had a fm licence but only allowed it for ten weekends....why.... BAI why

There is no reason apart from money and people with cloth ears running and presenting the so called "music" stations! Yes , the time is ripe for a revolution. The BAI should be scrapped for doing such an awful job.

decies

Room for both at the moment like local radio sometime in the morn , and go to bed with five live on the Internet. And when the NFL cones back it's weei Boston for patriots news .

Old thread I know, but has anyone got any Irish news radio channel that isn't 50% adverts?

How is an ad free radio channel a sustainable economic model? To present decent current affairs programming costs a lot of money and advertising is the only way to generate it unless you are guaranteed sufficient paid subscriptions or a government grant which isn't going to happen, personally I think RTE Radio shows like Kenny and Five Seven Live are great.

Five Seven Live

:eek:

It hasn't been called that in yonks!

Red Alert

Well RTE are receiving taxpayer's money and they still have the place stuffed full of ads. Look at the BBC - I know it's a much bigger population, but if RTE did ONE TV and, more importantly, ONE Radio channel right it'd be worth the money.
