Mykola

Anybody else hear the rumor ?

No, I haven't heard that rumour and his show is very popular on 98fm.

In what sense? Rating wise? If so, no it isn't. In Dublin based on average quarter hour figures they are behind, Radio 1, Newstalk, FM104, Q102, Spin 1038 and on par with todayfm (JNLR 2013-2).

Surely Dave Moore would go too..

.. can imagine a very different show without their chemistry and banter.

If it means the end of those 98fm ads with his annoying face on the sides of seemingly every single Dublin Bus,then I'd be all for it!

The rumour circulating is that it's Dermot and Bernard for 2FM Breakfast.

Nooooooo! Dermot and Dave are great together. Bernard O'Shea isn't that funny IMO - was never impressed when he did breakfast on iRadio. Really hope this won't happen, but I wouldn't be at all surprised.

There's an original thought - poach jocks from a Dublin station who've done brekkie and put them on. 2fm brekkie show . If only someone had tried that before

Difference is Dermot is known nationally via republic of telly, the other two were only really known within the pale and by industry people.

I wonder if this is true will Hector get an new slot ?

Just one correction there: Bernard O'Shea did not present on a Dublin station. He was on i105-107. By the way, Dermot Whelan and Bernard O'Shea have worked together on The Republic of Telly.

They won Music Show of the Year in the latest PPI's so they are doing well for 98, doesnt mean they wouldn't leave or Dermot wouldn't.

Is Hector leaving or gone?

He might come in instead of Colm Hayes? Colm is hated in Montrose.

Id agree, regarding Dermot, Id use the term "comedian" very loosely

That would be cool!

Yeah, I was wondering was this really true or did somebody on this site just make it up?

July Rain

It was comegowithme and eiresandra who said it but they didn't say who told them.

I think deep down that we should close this thread. There doesn't seem to be anything solid about this.

Why Did you bump it so ?
