    Why would you aim to be annoying on the radio?

    Ask Howard Stern.

    Marc Coleman on Newstalk with his dreadfully off putting throat noises every couple of minutes. Not a good sound to come across on the radio. His show is actually good, but he shouldn't be on the radio for that reason alone.

    "This country is a complete and utter kip. I personally despise it, I despise the people running it and most of all the gob****e populace that elected them. ... ...that's according to a report released today by..."

    An all-too-common tendency of newsreaders and current affairs presenters to start a piece in the guise of an inflammatory editorial, only to hang the opinion on someone else following a pregnant pause.

    Not a presenter as such but Newstalk sport reporter Cian Murtagh has an annoying habit of elongating the syllables in his first name while signing off on his bulletins.

    'For Newstalk sport I'm CIAAAAAAAAN MURTAGH!'

    Tony Fenton.

    I listen to him most days I can, and generally enjoy his choice of music.

    I know many people can't stand his style. It is cheesy but I can put up with that.

    However, one thing I noticed a while back and I now find it grating, is how often he repeats things.

    Anyone who listens to him, listen out for it. He might say that John driving his van from Dublin to Cork has asked for a song. But he will tell us that John is driving from Dublin to Cork 3 or 4 times before he moves on to something else.

    Please Tony, cut it out.

    This. It took me months to figure out his name was Cian, sounds like Keelan or Kee N Murtagh or something the way he says it!

    I'm sure this has been mentioned on here,but this really pisses me off,cutting songs off before they finish cause you've got to go to the news/ad break/run out of time.

    This is not brain surgery,if a song is say 3mins 28secs,then make sure you have 3mins 28 secs,OR DON'T PLAY THE F*CKING SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:mad::mad::mad:

    Dempsey,I'm looking at you..............:mad:

    Matt Cooper = too close to the microphone, making it sound like its half way down his throat. Same for Marian Finucane, where every gulp and swallow is exaggerated. Then there is the 'laughing at anything' phenomenon, the best exponent being Mr Tom Dunne who would probably laugh if you told him that your gran had some incurable illness! Then there is that old chestnut that still irritates me, and that is the incessant use of the term "In Studio" which now pervades every corner of Irish broadcasting (apart from Matt Cooper's show) strangely enough.

    Also, Ian Dempsey's most annoying trait...being Ian Dempsey.
    That man would flog any product if it got him more air time to blather on.
    And jesus, his laugh....:mad:

    Surely having to listen to Paul Collins every morning earns Dempsey a little leeway?

    I cringe every time I hear Paul Collins put on his over the top English accent when he talks about soccer. On a national station it's pathetic.

    Most folks this side of the Atlantic pronounce it Nyucassel, he says Noocassel. A bit of an Americanism is all.

    He annoys the shoite (as Moy-kel from the sports news presumably would say) out of me. He always seems to be on the verge of breaking his ar5e laughing, even if the subject matter is serious.

    On the plus side, I haven't heard Tara "and eh and eh" Brady in a long time, so you win some, you lose some.
