Joan moved to a drive time position and then petered out of radio.

Even Joan Lea had a relatively brief stint on Nova. She co-hosted Morning Glory with Marty Miller for a time when he moved to mornings and Pat Courtenay moved to Nova Drive in 2013. She then went on holiday sometime in 2014 and never returned to the station. As far as I'm aware, it remains unknown why she left the station so abruptly, never to return.

Hearing Hayes might be coming back is probably why...

She went out on sick leave and didn't come back..

Her leaving in 2014 had nothing to do with Hayes' return in 2018

Think she won an unfair dismissal case against nova?

I liked her, they were a rock station then

Ok let's start a rumour! let's talk about Colm Hayes and jone Lee had an affair in 104 back in the day. I've 'heard' that's what lead to the breaking up the morning show! Colin Hayes is also ( I hear) a lizard persons and jone is related to a spider plant....

Yeah, I used to enjoy her shows in the evenings. Back before the rot really started to set in at the station.

Yeah, she's a different presenter to Joan Lea. Lea disappeared overnight, no reason was ever given as to why.

He's a business man, all be it a bad one it transpires, so no real surprises as regards the running of the station...and the "letting go" of staff...

They could have done so much more with Conor Irwin for a start. On his own, he was actually a decent DJ who appeared to know his stuff and had a genuine interest in the music he played. He should have been given a decent weekday slot.

Tuned in this morning, he was talking about the 10 most annoying people you will meet this Christmas, and I thought "this is very unimaginative" .... I didn't hear the start of the item, but now I realise that this very unimaginative item is a very unimaginative article in the Indo today.

Clearly not.....which is odd...No 1 for me...:)

Perhaps a poll.."Whos the most annoying presenter on radio"

...on a breakfast show...

..on nova...

I agree about Conor Irwin. Had they kept the weekend sport show, he would have been a great presenter for it.

No point mate..he feeds off attention...he's an ego piranah. ....but looks like a blowfish....

Mr. CooL ICE

Just discovered this thread and am glad I'm not the only one who thinks the show is awful. Colm Hayes reminds me of every annoying work colleague that thinks they're hilarious and won't shut up. I get the impression that Lucy doesn't have a clue about half the music that is played.

Whenever there is an ad for the show on the weekend, they usually include a 'hilarious' snippet from that week. Every time I hear it, I think "is THAT the funniest thing you could find???".

You should also check out the 'radio nova' thread, there are some interesting posts on there too. But It's pretty much a unanimous consensus amongst posters on both threads that the Colm & Lucy Breakfast Show is absolute rubbish.

Neither of them are authentic rock jocks. Lucy is a television presenter who has no interest in rock music (even the 'middle of the road' pop rock that Nova currently peddles), let alone know anything about it. As regards Hayes, I think you summed up his character quite accurately in your post.

Don't get me started on those snippets. I was trying to listen to Pat Courtenay this evening and one such snippet was played during the ad break. I turned the volume down until the ad was over, but I think they were talking about Colm's persistent flatulence in the office, or something of that nature. Absolute crap!

Fart jokes on the radio. ..always funny.....:rolleyes:
Cant decide if he's an embarrassment to the station..or the station is an embarrassment to the airwaves....I'm veering towards the latter...

He probably just blames his Egg McMuffin powered farts on Brannigan anyway, and Brannigan just meekly accepts responsibility.

AHH now I get it, the dog he's blaming in the joke is actually Brannigan.

Still not funny

I think:

The dog is Brannigan and the fart is the station as a whole. So Hayes farts, but Brannigan gets the blame and Hayes continues to fart away with impunity while everyone else suffers and Brannigan does nothing about it.

A bad joke indeed, but perhaps unintentionally self-deprecating? As it metaphorically describes the current state of the station.

Homer

The sad part is that dunce and all that he is, Branigan actually had a decent station going and ratings doing well till he decided to hire colon & loosey.. now it’s a sh1tshow and they are desperately scrambling to delete all the negative comments daily about the station. Pity
