The FM104 Phoneshow with Chris Barry

smurfs5

Thought I'd start a thread for the actual show rather than the build-up/ Adrian & Jeremy.

Good start lol :rolleyes:

10 min delay with non stop ads and FM104's stream is just not working properly.

Not the best start. :rolleyes:

Koloman

Are they still having technical difficulties?

He said he's covered the camera with a sock, just for the first night!

No it started at 10 past, after a loop of ads!

That's what I'm listening to. It keeps fading in and out.

I have been listening to Adrian for 5 years, I don't think it will ever be the same again..

It's so dull. "Get It Off Your Chest" will never be the same again. It's meant to be fun and light-hearted. Instead, it's like the debates from 10:30. Disappointing first night so far.

I've switched off. It's so boring and certainly doesn't have the pulling power of Adrian & Jeremy

Niall Boylan will be sleeping easily tonight.

Do they still have brain dead scangers screaming at each other?

Bring back Greg Merriman afterwards and it might as well be 2001 again.

He paid a nice and fitting tribute to Adrian and Jeremy this evening. It's 14 years since Chris Barry left the Phoneshow and as he said himself the lads were tired and wanted a change. He praised them for their efforts and success and wished them well with the move to daytime.

Now having heard snippets of tonight's show I think 4fm really made a mistake. They had a chance to sign Chris Barry and now once again UTV hold all the aces. One of the most memorable radio marketing campaigns within the last week since his announcement. Tonight he's talking about Romans and Drink Driving.. He's easing his way in.

Did you get paid cash or cheque for that:))). Tis all fluffy .....

TheLonelyOne

No so sure if it will work..... Adrian and Jeremy were great to bounce off each other and the listeners too.

And who is that GOB****E that they have in there with Chris tonight?!!!

hallgate

Chris Barry is outdated and boring compared to Adrian and Jeremy. No controversy or bad language on his show. It could just as easily be in a daytime slot. This is meant to be night time radio. For God's sake, LIVEN IT UP,CHRIS ! Best of luck with it,anyway.

Thelostcountry

Over ten years listening to, the phone show. I had to switch last night to 4FM I cannot stand Barrys voice.


when are the lads starting on 98fm??

I'm loving Crossy ATM. Chris himself, I cannot warm to him..

Maybe it's just me, but it feels like he hops between topics wayyyy too fast. :pac:

Chris Barry is a legend of Irish radio as far as I am concerned, but he is obviously rusty. Hopefully he will get his mojo back with time.

Ah he's past his prime, I agree he's a legend of Irish radio... after all he was there from the beginning when the phone show started.

Yeah, it is very hard to recreate an old show, especially after such a long absence.
