Someone mentioned Joe stayed over last night to go the show today? Is that correct? There’s a reason I’m asking btw.

No, you're right there. If you've ever watched radio studio webcams they generally have that. I figured that they'd just have a producer babysit it when it's on TV just to make sure all's going well. Might be wrong though, maybe they just all head off for lunch while Joe's on and leave the TV station on auto pilot. :P

In fairness as well actually, if you ever watch NewsTalk TV on their site, which I understand is automated, it's actually pretty neat how smooth the automation can be.

Did I hear the Dufficer saying the cameras were voice activated and when Gerry spoke the camera went on him and ditto for the Dufficer?

Maybe the Captain Morgan had taken hold.:eek:

Remember folks, Duffy has been paid AT LEAST €100,000 so far this year.

Let him pay the 160 “pound”

....on which he'll take home AT LEAST €87,500 due to his tax "status".

They did it during Ophelia if I remember rightly. I figured it's just what they do when they need a day of current affairs coverage on TV. Joe's a handy thing to plop in there as basically all it requires extra is a producer to babysit the camera feeds.

Nice shot of the RTE branded coffee cups in the background. I wonder how much that costs us?

Dis exact topic was speculated on as far back as August 2-16 so to speak:

Just noticed the RTE-branded disposable coffee cups. Wonder how much they were so to speak?

RTE Buying Office: We need more disposable coffee cups. How much are they?
Catering company: They start at €250 for 10,000units.
RTE Buying Office: What colour are they?
Catering company: They're just plain white
RTE Buying Office: Have you anything fancier? We have some very high profile celebrities and important people coming in and out of here daily don't you know?
Catering company: Well we have more expensive ones alright, it really depends on how much you want to pay and what you want on the cups?
RTE Buying Office: Could we get the RTE logo on them?
Catering company: Yes, but there's a 12 week lead time and they're very expensive
RTE Buying Office: Don't worry about the price. How much are they?
Catering company (after brief pause, and completely chancing his arm): How does €1,000 for 250units sound?
RTE Buying Office: Like a bargain! We have a deal.
Catering company (after another pause): The minimum order now is 10,000units.
RTE Buying Office: So? Don't bore me with the details.
Catering company: ooooookkkk, I'll do up the invoice then. That's 10,000units @ €1,000 per 250 = €400,000. Are you sure the plain white ones won't do?
RTE Buying Office: What do you think we are, animals?

Why is it being broadcast on tv?genuine question..

I don't know how to answer your question because I don't know the answer.

I tried to explain the concept of Liveline to my daughter, she thought as it was broadcast on TV that the viewers should be able to see the callers. Fair point says I but it's a radio programme.

I should have been clearer in my post, I hadn't the energy to think of an answer for her is what I should have said. The poster above offers a possible explanation as to why it's on TV.

Easy, cheap content that requires very little effort to produce and doesn't require a second presenter to be drafted in to do those hours.

My daughter just asked me why we can't see the callers to Liveline....in this day and age with video call and that. I haven't the energy to explain why it's being broadcast on the TV.

She's beginning to sound like me.

I've said it before and I'll say it again caller, be prepared for a gang of gurriers throwing snowballs.

Pump action water pistol with 1.5L resevoir filled with 8 day old p*ss. Gurriers have a Freudian hangup about smelling nice. They'll automatically head for the nearest can of Lynx and it will allow you to continue your journey.

Will make a collection from the litter box for this purpose. Handy tip.

That man did try to get the heating in so your point is moot btw.

I think, on this occasion, that John in Waterford may be a genuine case, and simply got caught out like many people, as these conditions weren't on anyone's mind a fortnight ago.
However, how many times have we seen chancers and scammers call in and try it on, and often get results?

A smartarse might reply wondering why he waited until the week long predicted snowstorm landed on his doorstep,to try to fix his heating. Also his first call is to Duffy? Spare me the violins. A more considered reply would be that I think it's fair to say I'm generalising. There is a widespread consensus among this thread regarding the type of caller this show attracts.

Oh I agree with you there in terms of the type of callers that do come through,the moaney types and pre madonnas but what I was referring to was when you put it in comparison to Sid I know who I would genuinely like to see getting a help hand,nothing wrong with that ....
