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 think Joe is in for Muireann at 12

Wonder will she do Ian's show and be back on at 12?

It’ll be Joe Donnelly I guess but Muireann did say she was in all week on Monday

There really is no escaping Muireann. She’s on for Dempsey this morning.

Was always surprised that Muireann didn't get the slot.

However, for selfish reasons I hope that Quilty doesn't get Al's slot, as then I'm down my drive home programme given that Cooper has gone off the boil

Well now I have major doubts over Quilty if he caters to Porters fans.

TBH I never really got into him, even before all of the dodgy stuff came to light.

I wish they hadn't - I've never got the appeal but then I'm not the intended audience.

Having said that, if this scandal hadn't blown up and ruined everything, he could have been a very good signing for the station. The trend on radio stations these days seems to be for employing personalities rather than proper presenters. In Al they had an up and coming comedian who was starting to make a name for himself. Ratings were starting to go up as well. So he was doing fine and perhaps would have continued to build an audience. If only....

Maybe that's the going rate for a prime time show on a national radio station? Also, Today FM has been on the slide for a while so the powers that be decided it was time to go for a big name.

ok, but how did they end up with Al?

Cooper mentioned the Al Porter allegations on the last word tonight it’s the first mention I’ve heard on Today FM yet

Was covered really well by Matt after the 5 O clock news last night. He just ran through the time line of what happened. He addressed the fact that he kept saying alleged. It was along the lines of "I keep using that word not because I disbelieve what has been said or impune the integrity of the people who came forward. These claims have not been adjudicated on and as such they are allegations until proved otherwise"

Seemed a lot more weighted towards the complainants without been explicitly in their favour than I had every heard from MC

Muireann read a short statement before she started the show yesterday, saying that he had resigned,
Man she's hyper, or giddy or....something.

He mentioned it yesterday but I don't think he discussed it in any way

With everything else he has going on would he want it tho? He's over in NYC every other month and touring with APELLA. Himself and Brian Maher could be a decent shout.

Unless they go in at 2:30
I can’t see them going for a double act. You’d have Dermot & Dave then Dara and Brian. Would that be too much?

Her interview with Brandon Flowers last evening was atrocious.

Louise Duffy plays some good music in fairness to her,but she is an awful radio presenter. Too many stutters, ems and ehhhs. I've been listening to her on and off for a few years now and she still hasnt got the basics of presenting a radio show right. I dunno, its seems as she cant speak properly when on air, there's no natural flow... half the time she seems to be thinking "where am i going with this, what am i going to say next"...Ehhhhhhh

She was absolutely woeful on daytime radio. They advertised her as ditzy and brainless, and she carried it out. She is much better in the evening slot. D&D still seem like a fish out of water in the morning slot - it seems very forced to me. Muireann would need to seriously calm down a bit for the afternoon, she might be better in the 9am slot, letting them move D&D back to 2pm.

She would need to calm down even more for the morning show but I like her in the afternoon slot. I don't think I could handle her full on Duracell bunny that early in the day but each to their own I suppose.

In fairness , the chit chat/banter with her staff was annoying but her selection of tunes was far better until they reigned her in but since the move she’s back to better music and less chat

There's too much chat on daytime radio anyway. Wonder is it to cut down on royalties?

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.

Today FM have confirmed she's only a temporary replacement.

I still reckon it will be Dara Quilty.
