What is this 'they couldn't afford him' stuff? That's rubbish. Facts is Facts. If a presenter, on any station, is bringing in the listeners they should be attracting advertising revenue to that programme also. (Gerry Ryan being a case in point). Therefore, the business would have the money to afford the presenter.

Aaron Burchael is no longer on Tipp FM because he was not up to scratch. He got away with his sycophant side kicks, Cagney & Lacey theme tune backing music, fake applause, shouting links, brain dead content, ME ME ME talk and Mosney Red Coat MC shtick for too long. It was lowest common denominator radio.

If he was that good and Tipp FM couldn't afford him why didn't a regional or a national snap him up? After all, he says that he was bringing in a huge audience and what station doesn't want a huge audience?

I like Antoinette in the morning, I liked hearing Andrew Looby too this week. I'm an Ian Dempsey listener and always have been. I don't get this concept of having to be zany and wacky at 7 o'clock every day. When I wake up I want to be woken up gently. I don't want the audio equivalent of Bozo the Clown standing by the side of my bed squirting water from a fake flower in my face.

Trends change and people change. Aaron Burchael's day has come and gone. He's a confident guy and he should try something else using the talents that he has (and he is a talented individual - just not to my taste) in another sphere. Running a radio station from a back bedroom is not the path to riches.

Compare and contrast Aaron's breakfast show listenership figures with those being achieved by the current incumbent. Aaron was not to my taste in the mornings either but he got the listeners. He handed over a lot of listeners to Tipp Today and he has not been replaced in terms of listener numbers. This knocks on to the numbers who listen to Tipp Today. This knocks on to the overall JNLR book. In fact Tipp FM are haemorrhaging listeners.

But they had someone doing breakfast between aaron going,and the present incumbent,who will need a chance to build a new listenership base.As far as tipp today goes,the presenter there is well capaple of losing listeners all by himself,with arrogant presenting,and boring radio!

Any time I heard Tipp Today I thought the presenter did a good job he seemed capable of interacting with guests and listeners on a wide variety of subjects. Been the kind of programme it is current affairs/local issues etc it cant always be entertaining. Just my two cents worth.

Good luck to The Mac on the hospital radio fair play to him. Is this a voluntary job, does he still do a programme on Tipp FM

Must be great to be so clever :-) Last time I looked April's fools day was a bit of fun. I'm sure you would have found a loop hole in the ones the national stations and newspapers used too. Don't take life so serious :-)

That's a lot of listeners, for an Internet radio station. Have you any source for this figure.
