Who's the woman reading the news at the minute? She's made a few mistakes with words but most obviously in the last 2 bulletins she keep s saying fright instead of freight.
She was talking about the new Stena service to France being moved forward and said something along the line of " there's a new fright service being introduced on Tuesday........." And I thought he had pronounced flight as fright first till she started talking about ferries.

Yeah..noticed that before...very irritating...but in fairness she's probably a stunner...Hayes does the interviews so diction and pronunciation aren't important..does she say "axe" instead of "ask" too.....?0 -

It was originally on Radio Nova on Sundays from 10pm to 1am, then after a couple of years from 9pm to 1am, but was moved in July 2017 to its digital station Classic Rock. This year it was moved from Sunday to Saturday and I have yet to hear it since its most recent move!
Just in case some of the youngsters here don't appreciate it fully, Pat James is a legend.
In the late 70's on Radio Dublin and then ARD, he introduced hard rock to Dublin and championed the emerging local Dublin Rock Scene. I remember hearing demo cassette tapes from the newly formed U2 on Pat's Rock Show, and indeed when forming Phantom legal with Principle Management as one of the investors, Paul McGuinness recalled fond memories of the support that Pat gave the band in their very early days. He also gave many other local bands a start, helping to develop what was once a thriving live rock music scene in the city.
If you haven't caught up with him yet, take a listen online.0 -

I remember all of the above - I heard him on both stations and I heard those demo tapes of a raw but exciting U2! Pat James, as is his want, will only play early U2 stuff on his show!
EDIT: I think Pat James deserves a thread of his own as his radio story goes way beyond Radio Nova!0 -
