Her old "night time" slot used to be until mid-night... I think.

Yeah it was. It was Nova Nights with Dee Woods back then. I think it ran from 7pm to midnight, which included The Classic Album At 11. I wonder where Lisa Gernon will end up, if she remains with the station. No doubt Tim Kelly will keep his Friday evening '80's slot.

Was there an announcement this morning? I missed it - but I caught her saying it was her last day?

Whats going on with that?

Have herself and Marty lost their morning show then?

There sure was. Dee is returning to Nova Nights. As regards Marty, I'm sure he'll be back on Morning Glory soon (I think he's on annual leave to spend some time with the little one). A somewhat 'educated guess' would suggest that Morning Glory is now officially going to be the Miller & Irwin Show.

Nah, I'm sure with Dee on the new slot, it will be just about the music with her!

That's three nights on the trot that between songs, there was a "sports report" on the Ireland Wales match that was played last Friday! Prob someone thought it was supposed to be a Nova promo and never checked. The nighttime playlist is probably pre programmed and whoever is last leaving the office just hits Play

They're still doing this! Just heard it a few mins ago. Must be that nobody on here listens to Nova Through The Night :P

Either that or my meds need to be check as I'm starting to hear things lol

Lol - during the night is the only time I get to listen properly. One of the joys of not sleeping well I guess.

Incidentally, after I posted last night that promo/filler was on again. Three times within a couple of hours.

It was a breath of fresh air when it started.
Now it's gone very stale, same songs over and over and over again.
It's also gone more middle of the road, very similar to Today FM now.
If it had any balls it should model itself on Planet Rock in the UK.

Nova is not preforming. It's what 8th? 9th? in the market?

HArd to know where it's going. I've stopped listening and I hear they've started or are about to start doing live overnights - if it's true it's some turn around for a station that said there was no overnight audience

Max Headroom · 09-04-2017 06:31PM

No PJ tonight...who's filling in.??..big boots..biiiig boots...:)

Jesus...Pat must be turning in his duvet....Bryan Adams and Snow patrol...:mad:.

John Cadell or Cathal Funge are just two that spring to mind....can't see John Clarke or Greg doing a late shift...perhaps.:)

As im a jackeen from down the country i am delighted when i can tune Nova in on the car radio. I have to say i find the lady who does the news/intros with the Australian/South African (??) accent very jarring. Her voice and delivery is like something from an Alan Partridge skit.

J Mysterio · 10-04-2017 06:54PM

Radio Nova has gone to the dogs. It used to be great. I can't listen to it anymore.

What's with the goddamn traffic updates every 5 minutes? That's the last thing I want to hear when Im listening to it. Listening to traffic reports is probably worse than watching paint dry. More annoying anyway. That and the constant ads and self advertising.

Pat Courtenay is a pain in the hole now too. He was a decent DJ but now he's like a caricature of himself. 'Over and under'? Fack off!

Ciaran_B · 10-04-2017 08:44PM

Has Dee started on the 80s/90s evening show yet?

I've switched off completely. I was drifting away from it anyway as it was beginning to become a daily chore listening to it. However, the nail in the coffin came following a phone call I made to the station to enquire about a competition they were running in relation to concert tickets. I proceeded to state my business, only to be cut off mid sentence by an extremely abrupt employee with an Australian (?) accent (it was a man, not Siobhan) snapping 'They're gone!' and hanging up without another word. Great way to treat your listeners, lads.

Ah big mistake there JT... you have to start off with a "love the station"..." youre the greatest..." etc etc...and it helps if you have a heavy "howya" Dublin accent, or a foreign one with limited english seems to work too.....:)

Damn! Yes, of course. You're right. They desperately need to replenish their 'some of our satisfied listeners' soundbites. I should have opened my conversation with something along the lines of 'Alright lads, listen, Radio Nova is the dog's liathróidí and I'm really enjoying your meandering away from Classic Rock, good call' then asked about the competition. I daresay Producer Clint would have approved my win then and there :-D
