    What a joke irish radio is. Matt Cooper on todayfm pretends he is talking to tony cascarino every evening between six and seven, while on talksport uk (channel 425 sky) he is on every evening from 4-7pm.

    It's not unusual on radio. Many interviews are prerecorded and presented as live. Sometimes they'll say "we spoke earlier to ..." if there is a noticeable difference between the sound of the recoded interview and the "studio sound".

    Their day doesn't start at five, they make calls e-mails etc.. to find out who will be available to do interviews and of course they would be pre-recorded.

    It's quite sensible that way really: They can deal with more topics, clean up any fluffs, and make something that is generally easier for people to listen to. The interviewee is also able to get a working day in, with two or more different stations.

    And as for just being in Ireland… no way! We're in the same timezone as the UK, and if that's where most of your guests are likely to be or be in demand, then there will be time clashes. Other broadcasters will want him/her too! Think Morning Edition on NPR in the States: it's time lagged across the country. Even Newshour on the BBC WS reuses a lot of hour-old stuff, just changing the links around it and any time relevant stuff.

    There's no absolute need for broadcasting to be live if it's not news or discussion, or directly interactive with the listener. The most popular non-Mandarin programme in China has been on 5 nights a week for 7 years, and has never once been live!
