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 find Ian a bit meh. Gift grub really needs to be dropped. I do like Fergal tho. Wouldn't mind hearing Phil on a weekday slot I do enjoy listening to him. Is Hector still on of a Sunday?

I used to listen to Today FM all day too but now I listen to BBC Radio 1 in the morning, switch to Dermot and Dave, and then back to BBC Radio 1 or Deezer. Ian Dempsey actually grew on me for awhile but it’s a bit stale, and Matt Cooper depresses me these days.

As above, I was an all day listener to today fm, thinking about it over the weekend, when Ray & jp were asked to go to 98fm was the beginning of the fall. They really had lunchtimes sown up, Louise did very well in Tony's spot I thought, I really liked her, much better than fergal D'Arcy. Anton was the best thing to have happened to today fm, after Ray D'Arcy had gone all cranky and opinionated, antons leaving was the final nail in the coffin, dermot & dave don't work for me in the morning, I change stations after Ian. Hearing of Al Porter being given the mid day show I was so disappointed. I think muireann will do well in that slot, they need another Anton style show at 9, move d&d and get rid of fergal. Anton won't come back and who would blame him, he was right to stick to his guns. 5 years ago today fm was the top radio station for me, now I just go from station to station. There isn't one good station where you could leave on all day.

Louise's show is vastly underrated. She plays a great mix of music and it's a real relief after TLW if you listen to it.

Didn't Louise Duffy get the afternoon show after initially filling in for Tony when he first became sick.

She had the lunch spot and she was moved to Fenton’s spot after ratings fell and dermiot and dave were brought in and ratings fell again when she was moved to 2.30 and Ferg was swapped

I think the slot she has now suits her seems to play good music not much of the mainstream ****e they have to play during the day

Every commissioning editor and producer at all communicorp radio stations should be sacked. Never seen such a fall in quality and a calamity of personnel decisions in irish media in my life.

I used to be a huge Today Fm listener in the past. It really is a shame that a once very good station seems to be making silly and baffling moves to try and "fix" something that while I might have needed a freshening up didn't need to changes it made.

I don't know when the last time I left the radio on all day on Today Fm in work (and it's the preset one in work)or at home. I really hope that some sanity comes from somewhere to try and stop the horrible atmosphere that seems to coming through whenever I do listen now. I mean Ray Foley handing over to Tony Fenton on a summer friday afternoon and just the family vibe would get you in great form for the weekend.

I would have a different view on that one, while Foley was popular with listeners, dont think he was too popular in Marconi House.

IMO the time when the schedule was really cohesive was when Anton was mid mornings. There was genuine banter between himself Ian Dempsey and D&D at the other end of the show. There seemed to be references all over the place to the other shows
Even remember Anton jumping in to play a request that they hadnt got time for on breakfast #BringBackAnton

Such a mess it really is. Id be surprised if they dont give the lunch show to someone already wirking in Today fm. More than ever they need a safe pair of hands, thats familar to listeners.

I've just listened back to the start of today's show with Muireann and to anyone who heard it at midday, does she sound totally feed up and as if she didn't want to have address the issue with Al Porter ?

Muireann is always very upbeat and bubbly but I'd say the atmosphere in marconi house must be worse than it already is.

I see it Muireanns picture on the website now for lunchtime. How often does the temporary host get the full time job.

None of the previous temporary hosts they've had in the 09.00-12.00 and 12.00-14.30 slots were kept full-time.

I think in Muireann's case, the ball will be in her court. She's almost universally popular as a stand-in for the lunchtime slot. Not that I'd back Today FM management to any great extent, but they'd need to be seriously blinkered not to offer it to her.

How about putting her on the Radio Nova breakfast show with Marty Miller, as Dee Woods' permanent replacement?

Ursus Horribilis

She is. She looks different to what I thought she'd look like. http://www.midlands103.com/amkelly As far as I remember, she left because she had started a family and only getting graveyard shifts on Today FM.

Who's the woman who used to do early breakfast before Paula? Her name escapes me but I thought she was quite good.

I’d worry, whoever is calling the shots in TodayFM doesn’t have their finger on the pulse of listeners.

Loosing Anton, Porter was a woeful appointment, no female presenters in prime slots.

It doesn’t bode well that they can make a good decision now.

I don’t think they want Anton back, and moreso I doubt he would come back.

its been like that for the last number of years, Music selection for most of the day is dire, Last word has gone down in quality and content (and Cooper's gone sjw'y and biased), Fergal D'arcy is brutal (but not as bad as Al was) Duffy's shows during day kept tanking (her music choice is one of the better ones on Today), D&D should be moved back to the 12-2.30 spot....The only 2 decent shows is Ed Smiths and hes only on once a week and Paul McLoone (and I wouldn't be surprised if they get rid of Paul as he doesn't fit the "young" direction they've been going)..McSweeney is dire, and Dempsey is alright but I think its ran out of ideas being on so long and Gift grub used to be fantastic but now once in a while you might get a good one

I think after the criticism today fm has had lately I think that they will be actively looking for a strong female presenter

Murieannn id guess if they go down that route or go outside Today fm as they have no decent female presenter at the moment (she's the only good female one on their roster)....but id say they'd have to be squeaky clean (man or woman)

Of course not. Plenty mentions of the RTE pedophile on every news bulletin, though. :pac:

They're have to talk about it at some point today, surely.
