    Why did Tipp FM take on an ex Q102 presenter,to run the station,if they are dreadful station?
    so that tipp fm could become even more dreadful?

    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.

    Lorraine on breakfast is very good but she's screaming out for a male to bounce off, A proper double header there would be great,

    I think she is better on her own....I think there are to many shows that have two people doing them on radio...She sounds like she is enjoying the show...Just music,little chat,and give the time a little more...I always run late:D...Lunchtime dj could sound a bit more upbeat....The guy on afternoons as well..

    How much of a drop? I suppose its only the station would get the actual programmes figures?

    What happened the presenters on the Hospital radio? I often listen when I am in range..The last while I havent heard any,or very few presenters..It always depended on the time of day..I didnt mind just the music..but if you listen for a while now,it seems the music is on a loop...the same songs keep coming up.

    One would expect with all the knowledge on what makes a good presenter and how to run a radio station floating around there would be no shortage of volunteers ;-)

    Another Programme Director sacked and escorted from the building suddenly in the last week or so, I hear.
    Shame. I thought he was starting to put a bit of order on the music and programming and, given more time, would have started to see the JNLR figures start to climb.
    Even bottom of the table Premier League managers get more time, it seems.

    PD from Clare FM apparently now has responsibility for programming on both stations. I'd love to see Tipp FM's contract with the BAI to see if that's permitted.

    On-air talent or programme management - heed this lesson. If offered a job at Tipp FM, just say no.
    You'd have better career prospects at McDonald's or KFC.

    His only crime seems to be not adding at least 10 percentage points to the stations JNLR listenership in 3 months.

    A source close to the station. Although, the bit about being escorted from the building is probably not true, it was very sudden. The chap was doing afternoons as well as being Programme Director. His profile has now disappeared from the Tipp FM website.

    Dave Harrington was it? Definitely heard him during the week a bit cheesy I thought bit bland.
