    It's the musically dead idiots like Colon and Loopy and Producer Clint who, rather than having a passion for music and broadcasting, are just doing a job instead. They really don't give a sh1t as long as they get exposure and a paycheck.

    To confirm. You think Lucy Kennedy is putting the playlist together for an online streaming service?

    Was great to hear the classic rock legend Alice Merton on Nova yesterday. Hopefully she'll be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame some day.

    "Near wild heaven" by REM has been played 5 times in the last 11 hours, ditto "hold me" by fleetwood mac, maybe others. What is up with these freaks?



    https://onlineradiobox.com/ie/nova/playlist/?cs=ie.nova

    Is there an online classic station that plays similar artists, but has more than 4 songs to pick from each artist?

    The whole pre-recorded thing last night sounded very poor, pauses and dead air, links not smooth at all, various songs repeated several times, just really sloppy overall.

    I'd still prefer that compared to some prick with a put on accent babbling crap. Last week the main talk between songs went like this

    "I'm ringing in for the competition"
    "I haven't announced you should ring in yet"
    "OK sorry"
    "Ok bye"

    I feel sorry for the decent DJs who do have decent facts/chat etc. I wonder if they listen to the others at home and just cringe.

    Posted this in Colm and Lucy by mistake, so I’ll post it here now. Just a perfectly normal news headline from Nova here. Absolutely nothing wrong with it at all. Pr1cks.

    That is sickening, imagine the family reading that.

    As for the other poster in the other thread saying it could be a cut & paste -I cannot find the same on google. But even if it was if your job is to cut & paste you would not do it blindly, its not like it was some sentence deep in the text that might have been skimmed past, its a big bold headline. Utterly disgusting, and I am not easily offended.

    Same here, I’m not a perpetually offended type. But there’s something really nasty about this. They have it on their Facebook page and despite people letting them know how bad it is they’ve left it there.

    The station style must dictate that he can't JACK it in and produce a broken link.

    Is Pat James talking a break tonight? I notice that the digital station Classic Rock is on autopilot tonight (and it's not his kind of music mix either!).

    Thanks. My grammar is gone to pot - talking instead of taking!

    When I heard Down Down by Status Quo, followed by Leave It by Yes, I knew something was up!

    It reminds of the old saying: If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

    It's well known (in nova towers) that Hayes doesn't like Pat or rock music in general.....but Kev and Pat go back a bit so sadly for Pat he was shafted by his so-called "mate" Branigan...

    Have to say, Phil Cawley is a perfect fit for the station. With himself, Liam Quigley and John Clarke I'd be quite happy listening more regularly. Okay its playlist isn't Planetrock but the 3 lads play decent enough music with limited but professional links.

    I had more of a playlist on my phone in 2005. it's utterly embarrassing. Up next Prince, you know that 3 hit wonder guy, purple rain, little red corvette or raspberry beret.

    I am using this site now and its amazing, listening to stuff I never would put on like Grateful Dead and hearing songs I never knew the name of. There is a "blend option" to mix different genres.

    absolutely - I just can't listen to the toilet talk and unfunny jokes. In fact I've stopped listening to nova at all now.

    I still jump in and out..the lunchtime show is about the only one i can stand..decent (if cheesy) tracks....Courtenay can play the odd one too but he's such a fool..he was banging on today about how bad R.E.M's "Shiney happy people " was....then he plays it..of all the songs in their catalogue he had to play it.....all that hair dye has fcuked his brain.:rolleyes:
