Mr. Brannigan of Nova says you people on Boards are all out to get them....

Take a look at the comments section and you'll come across this little whine from Mr. Brannigan:

"Fora is run by the same company that owns Boards.ie, who have a long-running vendetta against Nova, as can be seen, in part, by the vitriol their moderators allow to be posted about us by certain individuals on a daily basis."

One way of taking the focus off the story, the latest set of accounts show losses of €5m and the 2016 results will not be available until probably October 2017 - that 5m has been lost so far is the story and that will be hard to recoup with the remaining licence term.

Novas losses highlight IMO the fundamental flaws in the BAI licence requirements - if what is seen as a successful station is struggling financially what hope for other stations (TX is gone - who is next ?).

A rethink is needed for the likes of Nova/Sunshine etc to survive but its unlikely to happen while the bigger stations exert their influence on the BAI.

this morning was pathetic. they were going on about Bowie's passing this time last year like it was 9/11 - where were you etc.

it would be interesting if anyone could statiscally show how much bowie they played in the 12 months previous, especially on the morning show (who are now all of sudden huge Bowie experts)

rant over..it's so fake and so forced

why do I listen? because in the car in the morning in between all the hipster bs it actually does play more music that the others.

I have to say I happened to tune into Nova this morning during the 8am news and I heard the three songs by David Bowie afterwards, They were Life On Mars, Five Years (from the Ziggy Stardust album - never heard that song on the radio before) and the wonderfully sublime (in my opinion!) This is Not America (with The Pat Methany Band). I enjoyed those songs.

Then, I tuned into Dublin City FM's Livedrive and I timed it well. Just after the traffic report, Pam Duggan played a German version of Bowie's Heroes - Helden by Apocalyptica featuring Till Lindemann. That was enjoyable too. This is something that you would not be likely to hear on Nova:

But this thread doesn't get posted in on a daily basis?

It's also probably the least vitriolic thread in this forum. He should see what they think of Joe Duffy.

More Tea

The phrase "he doth protest too much" springs to mind when it comes to Brannigan. 5 million euros is a massive mountain to climb in any business landscape but in the shrinking Radio market it's Mount Everest.

If Nova or 4FM are still here in 2020 I'll be shocked.

Its not losing listeners - the jnlrs show that - and the station has a very clear identity unlike eg 98FM

the station has a serious identity crisis - hence why IMO it is losing listeners and comes in for what I would say is just criticism and fair comment.

Sounds like he's throwing his toys out of the pram. I would have said the Nova thread was one of the kinder ones in the radio section.

Well done Nova. You broke your app. Now it doesn't play on Chrome, Firefox or IE. It was working on TuneIn but even that's dead

No...but i think theyre picked to suit the DJ's taste in music..hence the sh1t in the mornings......:P

Yeah, I'll give them that. Although a Dublin radio station brokering a deal with Ethiopian Airlines is very random, I must say.

Has the app been working for anyone? From Mon evening it was only looping a bit of Alanis Morissette You Learn for about 12 hours. Now it doesn't even do that. I've tried it on two phones - one newest update and one really old. However, it works fine on TuneIn.

I do enjoy Saturday Nights with Alice Cooper. He plays good tunes and the show is ever so tongue in cheek and doesn't take itself too seriously. I agree that it's a far superior show in comparison to most of Nova's regular output. However, as it's a syndicated show broadcast internationally, they wouldn't be held to the same rigid music policy that Nova's own presenters must adhere to (with the exception of Pat James).
