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.

Think your reading way too much into it, phil was correct he is working for a regional station now. Not everyone follows his every move

Turned on car this morning Today FM on since last night I literally listened for 3 seconds before Curtis mentioned dancing around the kitchen and kids. I’m a 43 year old man and I screamed at the radio.

Harsh. I dont understand the personal insults aimed at them, Muireann particularly. Yeah, she's not very good, but it's hardly a need to insult her personally.

I'm really enjoying Joe donnelly this week. Good topics, none of the silly links that d&d do, good music and is not afraid to read out texts of criticism about him. Reminds me how much I miss anton and the good days of Ray.

Loved him on his TXFM show, good to hear him again.

Why did you love Joe? I thought he was out of his depth, lowest common denominator. One of the many reasons that station sank. They got rid of knowledgeable people for Communicorp lackeys.

It’s a bit of an old school DJ thing I think.

Yep, I'm really warming up to Joe. Previously, I thought his voice was kinda monotone but either he's got a bit more animated or I'm getting used to it. I find D&D annoying and usually switch off fairly quickly, so Joe is a vast improvement.

Yeah. I was travelling over the weekend and I enjoyed listening to Phil Cawley reminiscing over the events and coming/going’s in the station over the 20 years.
I thought it was funny when he made a passing reference to Ray Foley (much lauded of course in these forums as some sort of broadcasting messiah), Phil said (roughly): “Ray Foley was here for a while, I think he’s doing some local radio show now... somewhere...I’m not sure...”.
I’d imagine it was tounge in cheek as Cawley the anorak would surely know exactly where Foley is...

The station launched in 1997 (as Radio Ireland) not 1998.

What did he say?

He was on about himself and Ed Smith crying on the plane home from Dubai because of a sad movie they were watching and Ed Smith said he had to ask the air hostess for a Kleenex,
To which Ferg replied that's not the first time a radio host had to ask that question on a flight followed by a laughter.
Have to say it's the first time I chuckled while his show was on.

They seem to have let Muireann off the lease today because she's playing mostly old songs so far on the show. It's a breathe of fresh air compared to the usual playlist.

Today FM and, to some extent, its owner Communicorp have come in for some criticism on this forum over the years. Some of it may well be justifiable, but at least they are coming up with something new and taking account of the changes in the way people use technology and, vitally, how people listen to music or radio.

Diversifying and offering more choice on other platforms is, undoubtedly, the way forward. The organisation is showing signs that it is welling to embrace change. Who knows? This could possibly ensure that radio has a future.

so Matt used to watch Coronation Street and Eastenders regularly.

Not surprised.

3 new online stations announced including return of TXFM?

Radio group Communicorp is launching three music streaming services – Today FM 80s, Today FM 90s and Today XM – as part of a bid to increase its online audience.

I'm starting to dislike the music section now. That girl who basically spends her time slagging off acts she doesn't like is starting to grate on me. Does she realise music is subjective?

A couple of years ago Matt couldn't see past Rush as the greatest band in the world :pac: Now he's so cool he's unbearable. Every time I listen to the music slot I'm reminded of Chocolate Daddy.

I'd like to hear about some new music to listen to

not to hear about cover albums and concerts by over the hill bands
