    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 ap good laugh.

    What kind of retarded radio station would replace a talk show with wall to wall music for several months because the the host was away doing "private work"?

    You seem more interested in attacking my views on radio than dealing with issues I raise regarding 4fm's abject failure to make an impression in Dublin. How can I have a semblance of intelligence while simultaneously getting everything wrong? My prediction stands, without Dublin, 4 is on life support. The only other station who would have the audacity to allow one of their presenters time off for the reason given is lyric in the context of gaybo, and believe me Harvey is no gay byrne. 4fm need to deliver a consistent product, giving Harvey time off in the manner they did robs a station of consistency and cheats the listener. A case in point is 98fm, dermot and dave were almost number one in breakfast then they moved to drive and the station is still adjusting because listeners detest disruption. 4fm need to consolidate what they have beyond their current fragility in dublin rather than indulge individual presenters by allowing them go on sabbatical.

    I attacked his/her views because they are so negative towards everything radio related, to the point of becoming bitter.

    Hey baby I have made no secret of the fact that I defend 4fm from vindictive people like you. ............ What's your point .......David Harvey is a professional and you have a pop at him as well ....what is wrong with you?

    I didnt realise you took such an avid interest in what I have to say. My interest doesnt merely extend to one radio station and primarily one show, namely the Niall Boylan show, which the majority of your posts actually refer to. Harvey's been in the business a long time, that doesnt mean to say he's particularly good or that I should automatically be a fan, by thats my opinion. You seem hung up on my being negative, you clearly ignored the positive posts I've made about Matt cooper, Jonathan Healy, Gay Byrne,phil cawley, Dermot and Dave, the improving Louise Duffy, the necessity to have more women on air etc etc This is a radio related forum which allows contributors to offer opinons, be they of a positive or negative disposition, at no point are my opinions meant to offend or be construed as fact, they are only my opinion.

    To use the word 'vindictive', is a tad OTT , and to ask me whats wrong with me, purely because I dont share your opinions on radio matters is also more than a tad OTT.

    Hilarious. Tell us, Heybaby, when will you improve (and present from a studio when it's daylight outside)? Maybe then you could pass judgement on Louise.

    Your smart replies carry a lot less weight now Heybaby, sorry :pac:

    Anyway let the 4FM bashing continue I suppose... "Life support", wasn't it? Yawn. :rolleyes:

    On a serious note, do 4FM need this show now with the talk output at night?

    guys and girls can we get back to the topic at hand. No matter who you are on this forum programme director, radio presenter, or just plain old plain radio critic, please do not get into the 'we know who you are business'.

    The forum rules are quite clear on this matter

    Please continue with the discussion on the David Harvey Show and leave the rest for another forum.

    A listener issued a complaint about alleged racist comments made on The David Harvey Show and 4FM generally. In her complaint, Ms Murphy stated the comments expressed were clearly offensive, cruel and had a negative impact.
    The complainant claims that it is the view of many people that Classic Hits 4FM is becoming a platform for people to articulate their racist views towards African People and members of the Traveller Community under the pretence of refugee/asylum, welfare and unemployment issues
    The BAI upheld her complaint that 4fm did broadcast racist statements and treated African callers differently.

    I remember listening to one of the shows with an African caller, and thought Harvey had balls to interrogate a caller.

    Yes, they upheld the complaint, but they did NOT agree with the particular part that you quoted (about 4FM becoming a platform for racism). You should look at it in more detail.

    I was quoting the complainant in the BAI report. Read my post carefully.

    Not quite. You were specifically and selectively quoting the part of what the complainant said that the complaints committee directly disagreed with.
    The Committee did not agree with the complainant that the programme in question was evidence of a systematic failure on the part of 4FM to meet its requirements under the Broadcasting Act or that 4FM is responsible on an ongoing basis for facilitating and encouraging discrimination or hatred towards minority groups. The Committee did not conclude that the moderation of the programme and the contribution by the presenter constituted racism.

    Yes, the complaints committee agreed that racist comments were made on the show and that the station didn't keep the show balanced enough, however they did NOT agree that the station were, purposefully or otherwise, becoming a platform for racists - which is the part you quoted.

    I was going through the radio stations a few days ago when I heard right-winger David Harvey back on his racist yakety-yak show.

    Mitch Hedberg: "Rice is great if you're really hungry and want to eat two thousand of something."

    4FM. Maybe I heard a clip from an old show as I don't see Harvey on the 4FM website.

    I don't know who is more unbearable, Boylan or Harvey.

    They are both terrible in different ways. Their nauseating voices pierce through my ears so I don't listen to either of them anymore even if Harvey was filling in for Boylan. I switched over to Newstalk a long time ago and I've stayed there. At least Newstalk don't have Jeremy Kyle style shows.
