Today FM Megathread Mod warning post #1 / #1401

The Parish priest

The Today fm ceo has announced major changes are coming in 17...Any predictions ? My guess cormac and daniella for breakfast, Chris and Ciara for mid morning and Ian Dempsey goes to drive time

Mod:
Yes there has been made some accusations against a presenter and no you can't discuss them because everything you post about the subject can, and will, be held against boards (and yourself if they decide to sue you) as libel until proven in court basically. Sucks for us but such are the laws of Ireland and unlike major news papers boards do not have an standing army of attorneys to deal with such legal cases. Hence a whole lot of deleted posts and bringing up the subject until further notice will lead to cards and bans.

I thought he dropped listeners in the last JNLR, having added some in the period immediately after his show started?

EDIT:- He's up on last year (before he started) but down on his last figures....."Al Porter, who has been with the station for seven months, has an audience of 118,000, which is a gain of 5,000 for that slot on the same time last year." https://www.independent.ie/entertainment/radio/jnlrs-sean-orourke-marian-finucane-see-biggest-drops-at-rte-radio-1-as-2fm-today-fm-newstalk-make-modest-gains-36263920.html

Moderator: Can people keep a lid on things until there's actually something in the open? There's a reason no media outlets reported on Weinstein until there was enough evidence.

Dermot and Dave will be hoping that Ireland do the business tomorrow night so they can fill a month of 'bants' next summer.

What I would have done was have a 6:30am, 10am, 1pm, 4pm structure with Ian Dempsey, Dermot and Dave, Dara Quilty and The Last Word in that order.

We know. You've said it umpteen times

What's the deal with their 80s style singing jingle ? Sounds very embarrassing.

I would ahve considered myself a Today FM listener from morning till night.. The lineup worked well and flowed through the day..

Not so much any more..
When Anton left things took a tumble..

Iano holds his show together and is good listening..
Al Porter just doesnt work for me..
Dermot & Dave, well the show is becoming stagnant and repeditive, far too much plugging of their tour and talk about what happens about it..
Fergal Darcy is a "weekend presenter" being the most plesent term I can think of.. Muirren O Connel should have gotten that slot or better the Al Porter slot
Mat Cooper still holds a good show..

Its no wonder 2FM, the basket case it is, now has more listeners than Today FM..

Joe is good but his voice ain't. Sounds like he has milk stuck at the back of his throat all the time.:D

Thought he sounded boring and disinterested tbh.

Their show has gone to the dogs. It’s the same thing day in day out. Their mediocrity was highlighted by Joe Donnelly last week. He was a breath of fresh air compared to their drivel.

Did anyone hear the talk about Kevin Spacey on the Dermot & Dave show this morning, (with I think it was) Maria, it was bloody painful, "y'know" emmm y'know y'know emmmm y'know, It was like it was sprung on them and they didn't know what to say or do, had to change after a few minutes, it was just a nothing segment. and she's usually better than this.

I noticed Will Leahy's show on RTE Gold had Whatsapp too. It must be the hot new thing in radio station land.

While I agree with a lot of Matt's views, it drives me bonkers when he fires impartiality out the window. Host the debate, ask probing questions, call BS when required and let us make up our own mind.

Susan has potential alright.
The show was a little heavy on "feminist issues" yesterday.

I'll reserve judgement for the time being, given the topics that are in the news at the moment.

is she the one who does the 5 at 5,,, ya her bits she selects come off as femisinst and sjw'y ....The fawing over Trudeau a while back was nauseating and always goes for bits like the journal sprouts like the weekly "gender pay gap"

Cooper used to be the best at the impartiality, being a tough interviewer and having/using common sense but now jumped on the SJW/pC bandwagon....was it trump that caused him to go over the edge or I wonder what it was with the change

I don't disagree, he was my go-to drivetime DJ in the TXFM days.

Someone changed the pre-sets on the radio in work car, and I heard Joe talking on the pre-set I had Phantom on and for a split second thought it was back,:( but he's easy to listen to.

It is just a confidence thing and I tuned into her early saying it, but every question began with 'And'. Other than that I enjoyed it.

Anyone is better than Cooper at this stage. I'd even have Al Porter do TLW over Matt.

I wouldn't go that far now
