    Scrapped apparently... Robbie Fogarty now doing 10 - 2. Unsure if there's any other changes.

    Well you obviously weren't listening yesterday, great show about abortion, the issue of the moment, that he handled well, whereas the Harvey show is aimed at cnuts who find The Sun too intellectually challenging.

    And the Niall Boylan show is any different ?

    Wasn't a huge fan but at least it offered an option to RTE at lunch hour.

    4FM is now a far cry from its promised 30% news content

    I'm shocked. Niall Boylan was standing in for David on Friday, and said David would be back on today.

    There's surely a gap in the market for to a talk show between 1-3pm, though? Not much competition to Joe Duffy.

    Maybe if they replaced Harvey, and changed the show's format e.g. instead of taking about the same topic for 2 hours, change the subjects as the show progresses.

    I didn't mind Harvey myself, but can seemingly a lot of people didn't take to him.

    I can't see them making more money from ads with the dross playlist that will replace it.

    It's been removed from the schedule on the web site, with two programmes extended and one moved to an earlier start time to replace it.

    The only 'announcement' was a statement from the station PD, which is quoted here.

    Further proof if it were needed that 4FM continue to be in trouble. Removing Harvey will save them a substantial wage because neither Robbie nor Gareth will get any extra for doing a extra hour each. . The vast majority of people looking for talk radio between 1 and 3 pm would turn to joe duffy rather than 4 fm so Harvey's audience would have been negligible anyway no matter what he did. Financial reasons would have been the main reason for this latest change. Again i'll repeat, 4FM could have 20% share in cork and Limerick, without Dublin where they are on 1% at best, they are doomed, its a question of when the money finally runs out.

    I presume you mean O Brien ? Well he already has a few stinkers in his radio closet including 98 fm and phantom but its unlikely he'd be allowed to buy another in the form of a quasi national from the point of view of competition within the sector in terms of owenership.

    Gareth isn't doing an extra hour, Suzanne Kane is. Gareth's show just moved to start 1 hour earlier.

    where does that leave 4FMs news quota? As for the popularity of Harvey's Show, I think JNLRs show otherwise and how much more talking at people can we take on the airwaves around lunchtime. Life is tough for 4, but they're gradually getting there

    Why did it go away and why did it come back?

    It seems your mad conspiracy theory was wrong and Harvey was away doing private work and is back doing the show since last month...... God you really were so far off the mark on that and you were so sure you knew it all....... Maybe you should rethink your theories on Irish Radio and your future in it, that is indeed if anybody would give you a job in it because after all you have practically told every station that you know better than they do about how to run their ship...... It's quiet odd that you come across as having some semblance of intelligence and knowledge of the industry but yet you get it so wrong every time:-):-).........give us your next prediction , as I could do with a good laugh.
