    No Last word for a week and a half over the Christmas and New Year. He never wors a BH Monday either. Just boring music. No doubt he's potentially lost listeners to Hook or RTE...

    Emo was far worse when he did the show. As for lost listeners, don't think so. Imo people change constantly to all 3 programs depending on whats on.

    Its not just him - there are a team of 6 to 8 people who put the programme together. Presumably Today FM wont pay to cover these staff over bank holidays & Christmas/ New Year

    It's also a chronically slow news week - sure even yesterday RTE made headline news out of a dog that fell through the ice - in America! If it were Ireland I'd say something, but that was just pointless filler and they used it in both main news bulletins yesterday!

    Cooper and the Last Word was back on air on the same day that the majority of the workforce returned to work. I always asociate his show with my commute if I'm doing one...not much point in having it on when 75% of the listenership aren't in their cars on their way home if you're wholly reliant on advertising income.

    'Slightly' off topic but I noticed that BBC2's Newsnight was off all over the Christmas break from from 16 Dec - 3 Jan .. so Matt's in good company

    What are the chances of Cooper being impartial in his interviews this year?

    What are the chances of him being incisive in his interviews this year?

    For a guy who is well educated and well read, with an economics background, he is very disappointing in his role.

    That time slot is crying out for some intelligent presenting. I cannot abide G Hook and Mary Wilson, God love her, is not up to the task, either.
