    I think it's a requirement to get a job in today fm that you are always a millisecond away from laughter.
    Louise Duffy for example can't get through a sentence without sniggering. You can tell when she's saying anything that there's a smirk on her face.

    She's very cheery but she's obsessed with giving out the text number, 3 to 4 times per link in successive links is far too much. She's also got a tendency to give constant time checks which I think are unnecessary at the weekends. Neither Louise Duffy nor Teresanne ever time check on early breakfast so absolutely no need on a Saturday.

    I've listened to teresanne a good bit on the early mornings. I think she is very good, she comes across as confident during her links and I feel it comes across on the radio. What are people's opinions on her ?

    Yeah, she annoys the **** out of me, not only mentioning the text number every 5 seconds, but also her twitter, or as she says herself " twidder ", and don't get me started on that fake laugh, and her sigh afterwards, a terrible, terrible presenter.

    Any idea why Today FM doesn't use the AA Roadwatch inserts for their traffic bulletins in the Breakfast Show? Whenever I listen, they seem to have the early morning DJ read them instead of someone from AA Roadwatch.

    the current early morning dj should stay doing her roadwatch only and her pre-decessor should do too

    Is the 'Listen Live' feature giving anyone else trouble?

    I'm also finding that the quality of their broadcast signal has deteriorated over the last few months. At times, there's noticeable static on the radio in both my car and work. Have tried moving the dial slightly but 101.8 is the strongest. I never noticed this before

    @Emmaeile: Delighted to hear @RealTonyFenton is coming back on the airwaves with a new series this Sunday ☺ @todayfmofficial

    Right so tony is going to Sundays then ? Todayfm retweeted it so I take it it's true. So is louise staying where she is ? And who is making way for tony on Sunday ?

    I wouldn't be sure that Tony on Sundays is a long term thing. It seemed to be just series of shows that he'll do. They still have all the Tony Fenton jingles on the 2.30 show and him and Lousie still share the billing. I have a feeling the Sunday series is just something to ease Tony back in to the swing of things this side of Christmas.

    Fenton is like a paradoy of himself at this point. I wish the man well, but Louise Duffy is so much better than his inane 90's chatter about charts and new releases

    I personally can't wait to have Tony back. I used to like Louise but she's just become so unpopular all of a sudden.

    I think people sense the lack of confidence Today Fm have in her and in turn are after tuning out.

    If you take her Facebook page for example she's lucky to get 4 likes but when Today Fm repost her post it gets hundreds if not thousands.

    She's been passed from pillar to post too much and now has become the square peg in the round hole.

    And don't get me started on Ann (ah aren't I great craic) Gleeson. Now's there's a parody of herself.

    The 98fm one is working fine.

    The Today fm schedule has been very unstable the last 18 months, 3 changes on lunchtime, Tony Fenton's sick leave and now D'arcy.

    You'd have to wonder why TodayFM have branched out into weekends away and a dating service. Do they not make enough money from the station itself?
