    What a stupid idea to call the program The Nicky Byrne show when it has a co presenter. What an insult to Jenny Greene

    The Chris Moyles Show (several co presenters)
    The Ray Foley Show (JP)
    The Adrian Kennedy Phone Show (The other guy)

    It's how it goes. Wouldn't call it an insult. Hope it works out though for both of them

    And does 2fm really need another show with a sidekick ? Only 3 weekday shows wont have a sidekick.

    It's not bad so far. Jenny is very good, he's quite personable and the two of them have good chemistry. Although I'm not quite sure yet what the point of the show is, or what the content will be other than the two of them yapping between songs.

    But from what I've heard so far, much better than New Breakfast or New Drive. The imaging is incredibly out-dated though.

    Yeah, I agree.
    3 hours is a long time though so we'll see how it goes!

    Why they have 3 intros telling us its the Nikki Byrne show is beyond me .. then Nikki he tells us its the Nikki Byrne show after the 3 intros ... The music is down to Jenny, so if its good she should get the credit, quite aside from that in the context of 2FM as a whole I stuggle to see the point of this show. Bear in mind just before we had the giddy Nicky intros Tubs was talking to 2 guys suffering from debilitating agoraphobia and prior to that the subject matter was dyslexia. It cant be overstated how important Jenny is to the smooth running of this show, she's a consummate pro. My main gripe is it should be called the Nicky and jenny show if anything.

    Jenny sounds as if she is embarrassed to be in the studio with Nicky. He hasn't a clue what he is at. :)

    Should have kept Damien McCaul, he played some pretty good music and was pretty good craic. Listened a bit today to this ****e, the flow between Jenny and Nicky was awful, mainly because Nicky kept trying to force Jenny to say something. Jenny Green is wasted on this show.

    Caught the last 35 odd minutes of the show. Compared to the tripe that 2fm have on for Breakfast I didn't think it was too bad. Rather enjoyed it actually.

    +1 on that today. I listened in for about 90 min and enjoyed it. The banter doesn't seem forced and i think its going to pull from Ray Darcy who after all is almost 50 and theres an a demographic who can't relate to him at all.

    Add to that i caught some of Tubs on repeat last week and it wasn't half bad either. He was so much more natural and nice than Darcy who is turning all grumpy and full of his own importance.......

    I've caught about an hour and a half of it over the 2 days, I'm liking it so far. I thought Nicky would be a pompus ass but so far he's grand and Jenny is a natural as ever.

    Was surprised by this, heard most of it over Monday and Tuesday and enjoyed the bits I heard. It's a double act that has some enthusiasm and they work better together than the hosts who follow them. This is one schedule change 2fm have got right.

    Nicky always seemed like a pretty sound guy and he is likeable on the show. To be honest I think they're doing well for the first week. Best of luck to them, it'd be great if this works because the other new shows definitely don't! I'm giving him a chance anyway.

    Dare i say in the future they could be a 9 to 12 option to go directly against Darcy..............with a more lusic lunch type show to follow it. I honestly think Mark McCabe is worth a full slot on the schedule, good presenter without going overboard and is the right age demographic for the listners they are looking for.

    Really enjoying the show. Jenny is definitely "carrying" it but they seem a good pairing. Loving the "electric disco" elements. She really is miles ahead of every other female presenter.

    Yeah its its lazy to just copy what a station in the same time slot is doing, not a chat show etc but a throw back playing the same type of music from a specific time period. I know its a great advert for Electric Disco but its kjust plain lazy and my only major negative from the week having listened to the majority of it.
