    It'd also leave more room for content creators on Today FM. Must be hard to broadcast a couple of hours of radio without asking if you prefer Taytos or King Crisps.

    I wonder how much does it cost them to have those radio rights?

    Sure more room for an irritating influencer or social media ‘comedian’ will fill the gap

    I was wondering the same about premier league Live. You'd assume it'd make more sense for it to be on newstalk instead of today fm, does anyone know who has rights for next year?

    Hopefully Off The Ball got the rights and it'll be on newstalk. That'll be me fully finished with Today FM then as that's the only show I tune in for all week

    Will they broadcast it all season though? I could see it giving way to all sorts of things.

    Anyone know WHY Today FM lost Premier League Live?

    Gutted I'll no longer be able get my Saturday afternoon footie fix from 2pm on air.

    21 years; they gave us some service and I've loved every minute.

    As a normal radio user will there be anywhere I can get live radio commentaries anymore?

    Would soften the blow somewhat if Newstalk take over Saturdays as well as Sundays; they lost GAA rights (wrongly) so I'm hoping they've secured rights but have heard nothing of any alternative provider....

    Suggestions for a pocket radio for such a device please?

    Sorry but I'm a Tech Luddite; my radio's a Roberts R9994 TMS one; they're no longer produced.

    Tried BBC Radio 5 Live on it but getting a half decent signal's nigh on impossible.

    Suggestions most welcome; thanks.

    Didn't know that.

    I know it's a pain as you'd have to sit in front of the TV, but a freesat box connected to your satellite will get all the BBC radio stations.

    Yeah this or a VPN service opening up internet radio on your phone to listen to talksport or BBC matches on the radio.

    There has been a good few mentions for Dara Quilty on here over the years as a move from local (Dublin) to National radio - looks like Dara is looking a little further than Ireland

    Oh thankfully I am now a stalwart OTBAM listener - even leave in the headphones and continue to listen to it when I get to the office (we have TodayFM playing the office 24-7...or as long as there is someone in there)

    I think that Alison has done well for the audience that she targets - kids and parents listening at the weekend, she likes to chat about things to do, kids reading & healthy living, play pop songs & be energetic. She is not for me, but I just think that she has made that Saturday & Sunday morning slot her own & sure that's why there is a dial on my radio to change it when I hear her come on.

    Good God :eek:

    Speaking of stand ins - Kelly Ann Byrne is doing a fine job imo filling in for Paul mcloone. Think she's going to be there for a few weeks more.

    That's the frustrating thing about the station. They have some really good presenters/shows in the evenings/weekends. Then it all goes to pieces in the daytime.

    Yep! Kelly Ann and Ed are quality at the weekends, plus we (used to) have the soccer. Phil Cawley on sat and sun is quite enjoyable too....

    I had never listened to his Friday night show much, but was on a long drive last friday night and gave it a go. Listened to the whole show, great tunes and lots of fun from Phil himself, I really enjoyed it!

    More of this please
