Their lead singer Andrew Roachford is the current lead singer of M&TM.

What a strange way of thinking to have a radio show special at the same time the artist is playing live. Wonder will Alice get the boot for the Coldplay and U2 gigs ? on the saturday nights show

The Phil Collins show was not on at the same time as the live gig, it was on afterwards, to try and capitalise on the 40,000 people streaming out of the Aviva who would be prime targets for Nova, both in terms of age and music taste. It was a good idea.

Realistically how many out of the 40K concert goers do you think they could attract to listen to Nova as they streamed out of the Aviva ? Most people on buses or trains would not listen to the radio as they are in groups so it is down to taxis for short journeys and then the concert goers who brought the car to gig probably 5,000 cars at a very generous count ! Now if one in ten listen to Nova thats approx 500 people surely PJ has a hell of a lot more listeners than that ?

Former Former wrote: » Yeah, but they're not trying exclusively for people who were at the gig, it was trying to piggy back on a high profile event that was going on, to use the already-generated publicity to drum up some extra listeners in an otherwise useless time slot. If you're a Phil Collins fan and you didn't go, you might be more inclined to listen to this than to Pat James who, let's face it, is completely unknown to 99.9% of the population. I don't see what people are objecting to tbh.
