The Ray D'Arcy Thread - v 2.0 **Please read post no 1 before posting**

Chip Whitley

Will this thread close on Feb 2nd or just keep going and be related to his Radio 1 show?

Still think that Sean Moncrieff would've been the ideal host IMHO but Anton will be great also.

Best of Luck Anton

I think Anton is a great choice. I've heard him speak on covering for Ray in the past and it was clear that it wasn't really the kind of show he liked with segments on biscuit tasting or racing Mairead in high heels, so I think there will be a tonal shift but with significantly less heavy sighing. And there's also the issue of him wanting to make it his own so it will be interesting to see how many of old segments they'll keep, Dr Mary, Email bag, agony aunt. For the last few weeks, from what I've heard, it has very much been the D'arcy show without Ray, same as it would be if he was on holiday except without Will. I'm sure they have some new ideas for Anton's show in order to shake it up a bit because the 9-12 Today FM really does need some shaking up

Ok, great news about Anton. For the sake of not fooking with the hamsters too much, I'm just going to close this thread.

I won't start an Anton Savage show thread yet, there's a thread about him getting the slot here: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2057362216

I wouldn't call it great news.

Anyway Ray Darcy followers can start a new thread when his new show begins next month on February 3.
