He was a failed news reader, a failed radio presenter, and a failed tv presenter! When will you all let it go and move on?

Back on topic, Dermot and Dave's listenership figures at lunch are at 113,000 for 12pm to 2.30pm which is an all-time low for the timeslot since it was created when Ray D'arcy was moved into the 9am-12pm slot, and they are down 10,000 in the year. The next figures at the beginning of February will show whether this promotion of Dermot and Dave was a good/bad idea.

MrMac84 wrote: » That's your opinion and your welcome to it. For me and many other posters here Foley was the best and most entertaining show in recent memory on any national station and he's been severely missed by us. Same as I don't agree he's a "failed experiment" you don't have to agree with me on my points! That's the beauty of the Internet

In 2016, they lost 10% of their own listnership compared to 2015 and they've effectively landed a promotion. I know it will evolve over time but I just don't get the thinking. It's a lunchtime show at 9am at the moment and it's very music heavy. I don't want this at 9am. After the 9am news, I actually do want to hear what's in the morning papers for example. No sign of it this morning. As I say, it will evolve but nobody has to listen while it's finding its groove. Personally I'll do no more than dip in from time to time and see how it is evolving which I'm sure it will but my expectations are low.

It's essentially an extra hour of a show when you take into account they had the national lunchtime news in the middle of their show so will take a while to get things into a rhythm. As for music it hasn't been anything different than McLoone, Curtis, and Anton were playing before them...a mix of new and what I would see as Today FM tracks.
