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.

Is Hector finished on Today FM

There was a female DJ on yesterday and she was talking about next week's show

Wouldn't surprise me, he has to drive all the way from Galway to Dublin to do the show!

Yeah she’s really really dreadful. What’s the opposite of a “voice for radio”? Whatever it is, she’s it. The whole mammy / kids shtick combined with the Canadian drawl is really very irritating.

That said, what do I know. It seems to me she kinda fell into this formula and apparently some people out there like it as I believe her ratings are strong...

Alison Curtis gives me serious serious ire. I don’t like to use the word hate but sorry I hate hate hate. Turned on the radio in the car yesterday morning literally within 5 seconds she was on about kids.

she made the transition from cool indie music head to mammy presenter fairly quickly
her show is like the 'poporama' (childrens radio show sat mornings on 2FM early - mid 80s) of today .

It was the opposite....the fella was the most PC,

Are there no female presenters out there who don't go over the top about everything??

introduce a song, play it
play 2 songs, tell the listeners what songs they were
tell listeners what time it is, maybe ask for some suggestions for songs.
use the KISS formula. keep it simple stupid

Anyone hear the piece about the 58yr old boss who is now on the Sex Offenders Register because he awkwardly kissed an employee on the cheek/head several times?

Even Matt and the girl in the piece more or less laughed it off, but some numbskull fella with them got on his high horse and started saying he deserved it as he invaded her personal space etc.

Give me strength. Why is everyone so bloody serious these days?

Ya that's her. Think she'd do a better job of it than Muireann. Can't believe she's stuck on a 5am slot and some of the dross they have on during morning /daytime

Not a hope, she’s dire!

johnire

Once upon a time I would have disagreed with you. However now I 100% agree! As bad as Paula is she is way better than Muireann. At least she’s easy to listen to whereas Muireann is dire. She’s actually got so much worse over the last few months. She’s constantly shouting and being so over the top about the most ridiculous things it beggars believe. And as for the things she gets people to ring in about it’s just incredible. I honestly don’t know how she thinks of the subjects- they are just so banal.

The girl whos on before Dempsey would make a good replacement for Muireann. Is it Paula MC ?

Ray Foley was a missed opportunity for 2FM and the same with Dermot and Dave. The only reason they went the other way is because Tony Fenton (RIP) very sadly had to step down because of how poorly he was (I think they probably knew he wasn't going to recover), so they were brought over to fill a gap in the schedule. But, y'know, it worked out for them!

meh, i used to listen to Today FM when D&D were on in the mid morning slot.. switched the dial as soon as they went on mornings.... too noisey in the mornings imo... Ray D was ok... but Anton Savage was the best... a real pro.. good music and chat.. now all we have is poor music and 'bantz'... meh and unfortunately we're now stuck on talk radio type programmes the whole day..... wouldnt dare even go near 2fm "the sound of the nation" jeez

She seems to be what the powers that be want, though. Presenters who sound like they've had half a dozen Red Bulls before going on air. The daytime schedule is packed with them.

Other energy drinks are available too Ursus!

But yes you've hit the nail on the head, everybody is super hyper on the air now

If you’re talking about Muireann then I agree. She is woeful. She talks absolute garbage. I can’t stand how fake she is. Everything and everyone is either AMAZING or WONDERFUL. She is beyond irritating.

The presenters don't bother me too much, just D'Arcy and Al were annoying for me. I could even tolerate them for long periods if the music was any way fair at all.

It isn't.

It's just wall-to-wall nu-Folk as far as I can make out. Just the same song sung by different artists at different speeds. It's like living in a house with every surface painted Magnolia. Grand and inoffensive. But every so often they play a good song and then, like seeing a flash of red or blue in your Magnolia house, you wonder why there can't be a few different colours in your house.

I find myself changing channel more often these days and pretty soon I'll be changing and will stay gone.:(

I turned it on then turned it off again...Louise Duffy and Esther Moore O'Donoghue.. from f*cking AA roadwatch!!??! who apparently has some podcast...doing the film/TV review?? Jaysus. One ums and aaahs her way through everything, and the other speaks at 100mph.

How much does it cost to ring an 1850 number these days. They must have made a packet. Didn't bother entering myself

They could have rung in using whatsapp too, as it's saved me money by texting with it!

Although was Todayfm the 1st to use it, as i thought it bizarre that it's owned by yer man Denis that by advertising whatsapp, they'd be losing out on regular texting?

Is Patrick freyne one of the Irish Times crew who got excluded there a few months back?

Can't remember that, but he actually done the research & surely if there was an impending apocalypse, i can bet he wouldn't be watching Queer men for the Straight guy etc:rolleyes:

They should rename it "The AA Roadwatch TV slot" so.....Lorraine Keane could host to make it a hat-trick of gushingness.

Yer other wan is Esther o Mhor... afaik i heard she does some podcast too, but was Lorraine Keane the 1st AA girl, as i remember Orla Rapple had great rapport with Tubs on the Full Irish & she eventually got her own show too

But i'm suprised that not one of them mentioned Jessica Jones is back on Thurs too on Netflix, maybe not gay enough:D
Considering the day that's in it, & it's definitely not International Men's Day

& Mother's Day on Sun too, have the stars aligned in the sky or something

Is that who the other female is? I honestly hadn’t a clue who she was hence why I didn’t comment on her.

Duffy hasn’t a clue about the music she plays, now she’s a tv critic as well? :rolleyes:

She was “snowed in” last week like the rest of us so she watched 7 episodes of some new Netflix show back to back. Sure what more qualifications does one need to be a tv critic lol...

Ahhh ummm yeah ummm, sure look it, yeah....

Dreadful stuff.
