    Nova does do my head in sometimes but my first time listening to Peter Devlin tonight and I have to say he has played some tuneage, LCD, The National, The War on Drugs, St Vincent.... felt like TXFM was back on the airwaves

    That Petrol Emotion as well.

    Peter Devlin, another missed opportunity for Phantom/TXFM.

    Speaking of Radio Nova, has anyone heard Delorentos frontman and ex-TXFM presenter Kieran McGuinness on their Saturday night 9pm slot recently.

    Paul Donegan is on 8radio on Saturday mornings now. I still wouldn’t be a huge fan but I am beginning to find him a little more bearable than he was on TXFM. He seems a little less wooden and his accent isn’t as forced or something.

    He was on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday last week at that time as well. He presented a program called The Song Cycle, where each piece of music played was linked in some way with the previous song. I heard some of his show on Thursday and Friday. Most of the stuff I heard played would have fitted in with TXFM’s playlist.

    It was only a matter of time, with the demise of TXFM, that some ex-TXFM presenter would join 8Radio.com, particularly those who did not get regular gigs afterwards. I do believe Paul Donegan is the first ex-TXFM presenter (as opposed to ex-Phantom FM) to join 8Radio.com.

    I just saw on another thread that Kelly-Anne Byrne is standing for Paul McLoone all this week on Today FM - she normally is on over the weekend. A bit like her old days on TXFM, except the start time was two hours earlier!

    Tara Harrison was on Today FM tonight officially standing in for Muireann O'Connell. Tara is another ex-TXFM presenter. This is the first time that I heard in since her Friday evening show was dropped in 2016, a number of months before it closed down. Incidentally, Muireann O'Connell is a former Phantom presenter, but not TXFM.

    Declan Pierce is taking over the Saturday evening show, actually.

    I heard yesterday evening on Today FM that Paul Donegan is a sound engineer with the station. I just had a look on his linkedin account and it seems he has been one for them since November 2014. I never knew that.

    He's also a presenter on 8Radio on weekends, but you probably knew that already.

    It was mentioned in a previous post! I commented that he must be the first ex-TXFM to turn up on 8Radio!

    Possible return online?
    Radio group Communicorp is launching three music streaming services – Today FM 80s, Today FM 90s and Today XM – as part of a bid to increase its online audience.

    A promo for the Today XM service suggests it will play guitar-led bands such as Nirvana, The White Stripes, Radiohead and Arctic Monkeys.

    Communicorp previously managed the alternative FM music station TXFM on behalf of a broader consortium, but it shut it down in 2016, saying it was not possible to make it commercially viable.

    Will former Phantom / TXFM presenters turn up on Today XM? It will be interesting to see what happens.

    John Caddell is one of the main people behind the 3 new 'stations' so you can bet he'll turn up somewhere on one of them, which is great as he was a fine presenter and is wasted playing second fiddle to Nadine 'deep loud breath' O'Regan on Matt Couper's Music Slot.

    Heard Joe Donnolly fill in for Dermot and Dave yesterday, so he's still on the payroll, and Richie McCormack is with Newstalk so he'd probably turn up as well.

    It's described as a streaming service, rather than an online station. There may not be any presenters.

    Joe Donnelly is a producer with Today FM but he sometimes fills in for D & D. Richie McCormack, as well as being a sports presenter, has stood in for Tom Dunne on weeknights - mainly music-driven show on a talk station!
