    Declan, Could you tell me why would Dave Kelly who is the group PD for the entire Newscorp radio group in Ireland and heads up the Number 1 music station in Dublin leave a job that he has been in since day 1 to become PD of a small station in the middle of the country?

    I can't think of a good reason really! I'm not aware of him being Group PD of the entire Newscorp radio group in Ireland - just FM104 and Q102. Is that true? I had forgotten about Newscorp's ownership. I am just going by Johnplayer's description. I did not say that it definitely was Dave Kelly.

    In fact, I have now seen a more plausible nominee mentioned on the Radio forum: Dave Harrington.
    He has been with Q102 since 2006. Prior to that he was a presenter with Spin103 and Wicklow's East Coast FM. He has now over 16 years of licensed radio experience. Before that he was with Dun Laoghaire pirate DLR/Hits 106.

    Sorry only spotted your post now . According to TippFM he is currently about half way through his 3 months notice he was required to give at Q102 .

    The question is,what presenter will lose out to make room for him.He will hardly do the chat show,they reckon the two at breakfast are getting good listenership..if you believe what they say....So maybe afternoons or evenings....It will be interesting to see if the overall sound and presenting will improve


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    A new breakfast show starting next Monday..well kinda I guess.Its Lorraine in the morning..They go back to a single presenter again..They change breakfast so often..I dont understand why Andrew looby has never got a full time gig there..he fills in sometimes,and does a good enough job...


  • Registered Users Posts: 140 ✭✭Jim Bowen


    New guy on Tipp Today program as well this morning

  • Registered Users Posts: 182 ✭✭johnplayer


    Lorraine in the morning..


    Can't say I know the name of the show but that sounds about right as I believe the co-host has left the station . She's very good but it might be difficult going from having someone to bounce off to suddenly doing it alone . A double header breakfast show is always a better option .


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,047 ✭✭✭Clonmel1000


    Where is Brian moss gone?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 103 ✭✭TheManFromTipp


    A new PD with Tipp FM,He will want to put his stamp on the station.He must want only one breakfat presenter....The are saying brand new breakfast from next Monday,but from what was said on air,its lorraine on her own.The breakfast show seems to be a problem for them..I wonder what this new guy will do,that others havent been able to get right..I havent heard the Fiona newsreader in a while..she used to come from the Nenagh studio...

    The only thing that has changed since the new PD took over is the website
    The guy on the chat show was reading some story from the Nenagh Gardjan last week:rolleyes:

    Is your criticism directed towards the new PD based on what's a common and totally acceptable pronunciation of the word Guardian ? Really ?

    I think if you read it again,you will see I said nothing has changed since the new PD came was the website..That was the first line.The second line of the post mentioned the pronunciation of the paper,so if you can point out where I said the PD was to blame,I would be interested.I would have thought proper pronunciation of words would be an important part of the job.I guess we have different ideas on what is acceptable.Is nooze acceptable for news? Is uz ok to say instead of us?..We will probably have to agree to disagree on this one.:D

    I always think pulling up people on pronunciation is petty. So long as the listener understands what's been said what's the problem.
    Think it says more about the person complaining than the person making the perceived error.
    A bit like calling people out on spelling mistakes. Maybe I'm biased because I had plenty of it in school :-)

    I have read your post again and it suggests a direct correlation between mispronouncing still being accepted while under the watchful eye of a new PD . There's no excuse for place names , surnames , song titles etc being mispronounced but there are cases where poetic licence is allowed due to geographical circumstances. Anyway it's a fairly lame critique.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 422 ✭✭qhe0i9zvfgdou8


    Not sure I'd agree about name places there are some real tongue twisters out there.


  • Registered Users Posts: 182 ✭✭johnplayer

    Place names are one of the most important things you'd better strive to get right . I'd even suggest you deliberately get the pronunciation wrong " if " the locals have their own take on how it should be . I'd tend to copy the local tongue . The only real other area that's possibly even more important is people's name where the reading of obituaries is concerned . Generally people do no more then raise an eyebrow when a place name is pronounced wrong but you don't want to get a loved ones name wrong while they are grieving .


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 422 ✭✭qhe0i9zvfgdou8


    Agree about the obituaries and peoples names in general.
    Place names wouldn't bother me so much sometimes locals don't even agree on how they should be pronounced.
    In general what I'm talking about is people sitting at home waiting to hear something to complain about :-)

    Persumed he was already doing a show there ? Are you sure he hasn't already started ?


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    From what I hear its the same,apart from the change to just one presenter on the breakfast show....


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,047 ✭✭✭Clonmel1000


    Why did they get rid of brian from the breakfast show?


  • Registered Users Posts: 140 ✭✭Jim Bowen


    A better JNLR book last week for TippFM, stopped the rot.

    Ha JNLR figures ? A 1% Listened Yesterday rise and a 1.0% rise in share hardly warrants breaking out the Champagne ?

    Chat show is losing an hour from next week,it will finish at eleven..he said a new schedule from next week......


  • Registered Users Posts: 140 ✭✭Jim Bowen


    Overall sounding slicker. Kinda like a Tipperary Q102 with deaths and radio bingo.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,124 ✭✭✭by8auj6csd3ioq


    How are the bingo and deaths different or like Q102? Sound the same to me


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    Do Q102 do death notices? The only comment I would make about the death notices on Tipp FM at the moment,is the deep voiced jingle just before them..They did have gentle music,which turned to morbid music,and now that deep voiced jingle...I think they should go back to a gentle music,or just pause,and then do the death notices.....I dont think that deep voice just before them,doesnt suit..I have more gripes..but I will keep them to myself for now:D


  • Registered Users Posts: 140 ✭✭Jim Bowen


    I'm pretty sure Q102 don't have Rehab Radio Bingo either, I could be wrong


  • Registered Users Posts: 182 ✭✭johnplayer


    Q102 is a dreadful Radio Station . They could learn from TippFm and not the other way round .

    Why do you think Q102 is dreadful? What do you think they could learn from Tipp FM ? Why did Tipp FM take on an ex Q102 presenter,to run the station,if they are dreadful station?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,124 ✭✭✭by8auj6csd3ioq

    so that tipp fm could become even more dreadful?

    Agreed. They are way back on where they used to be.


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    Over 71,000 people tune into the station each week while Tipp FM has also boosted its daily reach to 45,000.
    The Station’s quarter hour figures have seen gains too with over 10,500 listeners tuning in every 15 minutes.
