Chris and Ciara on 2FM.

Fresh Pots

First show has just started. Hope it goes well for them.

Itssoeasy

Yeah listening now. I've never heard either of them before so I've no opinions of then good or bad .

Seren_

Yay! I'm so glad they're back on air. Listening in now, much more music and less talk then on the Cracked I - wonder if it's just cause it's the first night, or if that's what it's always going to be like?

I wonder has the huge negative reaction from the public about Will Leahy's axing damaged the relaunch of 2fm ?

You got the wrong thread, this ones about Bottom of the barrell.

Itssoeasy

was tubbs trying to be funny ? BTW larry gogan is a gent.

Seren_

I don't understand how people are still going on about Will Leahy's show being axed.

Fair few "technical difficulties" on the show so far tonight. The desk must be different in RTE I wish they had called it the Late Late Show.

Itssoeasy

I've kept it on for the first hour anyway.

Turn the radio on

Its great that 2fm have live programs at night again and that they have hired young talent but the problem is its probably 10 years too late.

You turned off their show because they played The Script?! Sure every radio show plays The Script...

Anyways, I think the show so far is going great.. As someone above mentioned that it's about time RTÉ hired young presenters again especially at night-time then I think they got it fairly spot-on on with Ciara & Chris.

It'll take them a while to find their feet and they'll get more comfortable etc when they get settled in properly which might take a few months, but so far so good from both of them.

Listened to it last night and it wasn't bad until Gerry Ryan's daughter came on.

Itssoeasy

Listening to it again tonight and still liking what I've heard.

Used Dan Hegarty be on during this slot? Your man Chris is pretty funny and they seem like they have a bit of free reign on the show. Music isn't the best though.

if that was 2fms only problem they would be delighted i'd say. The cruise to snooze. I have vague memories of this bit.

Chris could carry a show on his own but his current co-host is grand. He's had worse. Hope they do well.

Dan Hegarty has moved to 1am-4am, Nobody noticed because indie radio is dead.

I really liked Dan's show, played some good tunes and it gets boring listening to the same chart music all day and all night. At least Today FM have their own alternaitve shows.

This show has big potential to be as popular as the blast with Ray & JP was 10 years ago, I can also see Chris and Ciara doing the breakfast show in a few years time. Why 2fm didn't hire bright young talent for the evenings/Nights during the 00s is beyond me.

Itssoeasy

love the fact they are taking the piss out of the licence fee and are trying to give it back.

Itssoeasy

Well after one week I'm liking it.

Seren_

Only got to listen on Sunday and Monday - could anyone tell me if they've brought over many features from the old show?

Also, my god but the 2FM imaging is awful.

Yeah they badly need new imaging, they had a bed playing under the news yesterday, not sure if it's new or not but it sounded horrific. On the other hand I think they have the music policy spot on.

Itssoeasy

So it appears that someone named ciara loves Michael.

Radio is for life

Listened in the other night out of pure curiosity and they really could not have picked a better name for the show. They sound ok but sadly they had nothing to talk about and I will never get that 30 minutes of my life back!

Itssoeasy

Michael Murphy the newsreader on 2fm ?

Itssoeasy

Love chris and ciara. So good to have live radio on 2fm at this time again.

Seems like Sunday's show is going to have clips and best bits from the week, like the Friday night iRadio show was.

That is very lazy. If the target market of this show wanted to hear best bits, they would listen back online.

TGJD

I must say I love this show. I think it is one of the better radio shows on the air these days. Usually at that time of night there is feck all decent on the listen to. The call from mark to do the quiz last week was really entertaining. Well worth a download of that podcast for anyone who hasn't heard it.

Most shows of that type which go live four or five days a week - as well as breakfast shows, drive time shows and others - would have a "best bits" show where people get to hear some of the highlights of the week.

It's a pretty standard thing to do - nothing wrong with it - particularly at the weekend when there may not be quite as many listeners or as much to talk about. I certainly wouldn't call it "lazy".

Well the fact you don't like it means they're doing their job well. 2FM is aiming at a young audience with them and their show is fantastic. They're sounding brilliant right now and I could easily see them doing breakfast in a few years. 2FM needs more people like them. I'm guessing you listened for about 5 minutes, heard a few innuendos and smutty jokes and came to that conclusion.

Fair enough but they're only a month into the gig and I don't think one night's listening is indicative of the overall quality of the show. Shows have off days but then again, it might just not be your thing....

Hoffman390

I loved them on iRadio, was distraught when they left only to be uplifted when they joined 2FM. No problems, they're just as good as they've always been. The only thing I don't like are Brian Lloyd's contributions.

Chris and ciara just said they will be filling in for tubs next week.

They only started their 2fm show about 4 weeks ago ! way too soon to be moving around the schedule and whats worse is knowing 2fm robojock 2000 will be doing their slot.

no thet said that they will be doing both slots it will be interesting to see how they cope

I took it that the evening show is the show in the morning being repeated at night. But their evening show is three hours and tubs gig is only two hours. How's that work ?

They're doing a taxi-man on it, i.e. double jobbing

Chris and Ciara for breakfast by year end maybe ?

No they aren't. The morning is live the evening isint live.

islanderre

I really enjoy Chris and Ciara. Started listening to them on Iradio a while back and now on 2fm......... 1st time since G. Ryan passed on that I have listened to 2fm for any long period.

That they simply talk sh1te with no qualms makes the show enjoyable for me anyway........ hopefully they won't change the format too much.

siblers

It's a pity the music is so poor, the two of them are really good and the features they have are really good too. But the music, even compared to the ****e played during the daytime is incredibly generic.

Sully

Used to catch them a little on iRadio when I was in that area. Great to hear them on national airwaves, hope they do well. The music isn't my cup of tea but the lads put on a great how so it keeps me tuned in. I think the show is similar to what they did on iRadio. Were they off air for a while or was it a smooth transition to 2fm?

andyman

I don't listen to them often, but I do listen when I'm driving to Dublin late on a Sunday and their "dream analysis" segment is brilliant. Has me gripped straight away.

Two of them have great broadcast chemistry as well.
