    Can't say I know the name of the show but that sounds about right as I believe the co-host has left the station . She's very good but it might be difficult going from having someone to bounce off to suddenly doing it alone . A double header breakfast show is always a better option .

    The only thing that has changed since the new PD took over is the website
    The guy on the chat show was reading some story from the Nenagh Gardjan last week:rolleyes:

    Is your criticism directed towards the new PD based on what's a common and totally acceptable pronunciation of the word Guardian ? Really ?

    I think if you read it again,you will see I said nothing has changed since the new PD came was the website..That was the first line.The second line of the post mentioned the pronunciation of the paper,so if you can point out where I said the PD was to blame,I would be interested.I would have thought proper pronunciation of words would be an important part of the job.I guess we have different ideas on what is acceptable.Is nooze acceptable for news? Is uz ok to say instead of us?..We will probably have to agree to disagree on this one.:D

    I always think pulling up people on pronunciation is petty. So long as the listener understands what's been said what's the problem.
    Think it says more about the person complaining than the person making the perceived error.
    A bit like calling people out on spelling mistakes. Maybe I'm biased because I had plenty of it in school :-)

    I have read your post again and it suggests a direct correlation between mispronouncing still being accepted while under the watchful eye of a new PD . There's no excuse for place names , surnames , song titles etc being mispronounced but there are cases where poetic licence is allowed due to geographical circumstances. Anyway it's a fairly lame critique.

    Not sure I'd agree about name places there are some real tongue twisters out there.

    Place names are one of the most important things you'd better strive to get right . I'd even suggest you deliberately get the pronunciation wrong " if " the locals have their own take on how it should be . I'd tend to copy the local tongue . The only real other area that's possibly even more important is people's name where the reading of obituaries is concerned . Generally people do no more then raise an eyebrow when a place name is pronounced wrong but you don't want to get a loved ones name wrong while they are grieving .

    Agree about the obituaries and peoples names in general.
    Place names wouldn't bother me so much sometimes locals don't even agree on how they should be pronounced.
    In general what I'm talking about is people sitting at home waiting to hear something to complain about :-)

    Overall sounding slicker. Kinda like a Tipperary Q102 with deaths and radio bingo.

    How are the bingo and deaths different or like Q102? Sound the same to me

    Do Q102 do death notices? The only comment I would make about the death notices on Tipp FM at the moment,is the deep voiced jingle just before them..They did have gentle music,which turned to morbid music,and now that deep voiced jingle...I think they should go back to a gentle music,or just pause,and then do the death notices.....I dont think that deep voice just before them,doesnt suit..I have more gripes..but I will keep them to myself for now:D

    I'm pretty sure Q102 don't have Rehab Radio Bingo either, I could be wrong

    Q102 is a dreadful Radio Station . They could learn from TippFm and not the other way round .

    Why do you think Q102 is dreadful? What do you think they could learn from Tipp FM ? Why did Tipp FM take on an ex Q102 presenter,to run the station,if they are dreadful station?
