    He is no great shakes..Google him,see what he does for a living,and his past CV..You wont last long in that kind of career,if you have bad diction..I think you mistake smug with confidence...But confidence is a dirty word in Ireland,its more of an "Ah sure twill do" attitude that is in the DNA....

    People with real confidence have no need to boast about what they did and taught. Smug and full of one self is a cover up

    It was the diction I was pointing out again..How difficult is it to say the word Dual:D....They leave out the TH on words,and put them where they shouldnt be at all..I would have thought diction would be a big factor,for getting a job like radio...dis dat dese and doze are alive and well in Tipp!!!!!

    It seems all the competitions on the chat show in the morning can only be entered if you interact with the station by text,to comment on what subject the are talking about..Is this the only way they can get someone to listen that time of day?

    That is probably how they get their listeners at any time. I believe if one rings in a comment they are asked "do you want to go on air?"

    Ye are very hard on the people working in the station..would ye not think they are doing their best..It is a local station,serving the local community,and that is why they get the licence everytime..They couldnt be number one,if people didnt listen...They have the best presenters that tipperary has to offer,so that is why they are number one!

    A lot of stations can be received in Tipperary. I can think of a half dozen off the top of my head and I'm sure there are more.
    As for RTE or any of the other stations putting a spin as you call it on the statistics, what exactly do you expect. Anyone in business is going to pick the positives from any situation.
    That's the difference between business people and hurlers on the ditch who have the comfort of been able to criticise everything without having to put forward an alternative idea.

    Tipp FM spin it too. Just because someone is ,as you say ,hurlers on the ditch does not mean they can not have an opinion. And how do you know who is and is not a business person?
