Thinking to myself the clowns are playing good music this morning, surprise surprise Liam Quigley comes on to do a nice short link and back to good music. So much more refreshing listening to him on my commute rather than the other muck

He's a proper DJ, perfect voice and style of presenting for first thing in the morning. I'm guessing that Colm & Lucy are on holiday? Call me a cynic, but I doubt that the powers that be at Castleforbes House have taken on board the negative feedback directed at the breakfast show.

I highly doubt that Hayes and Kennedy would be dropped just like that, as much as many listeners would like. I wonder will this morning's show allow for some positive comments, or even pleas for Liam to be kept.

Nothing remotely close to the same types of music. I never heard George Ezra being played to death on TXFM. I did used to get great use out of Shazam when listening to TXFM....now I rarely bother with Nova. Wasn't too bad when Greg Gaughran was on in the morning but the Marty lad has put paid to that.
Former Former wrote: » Yep, you would hear great stuff on occasion on TXFM - but they were heavily, heavily playlisted, especially during the day. Ezra, Bastille, Kodaline, Two Door Cinema Club, got massive airplay - much to the chagrin of the "real" music fans... Remember "Ho Hey" by the Lumineers? Yeeesh. The exact same criticisms that are being made against Nova now were being levelled at TXFM - they've forgotten what they're "supposed" to be playing, it used to be so much better, too much commercial crap, why doesn't the BAI step in, etc. Memory is a funny thing. There's always a tendency to look back on the past with rose-tinted specs when you don't like the present. As much as we all might miss TXFM, it was savagely criticised on here at the time. And for all the people bitching about what Nova used to be, the reality is that the exact same criticisms were being made against it from day one on boards.ie. So if people don't like Nova - grand, but there was never a time when Nova was what people on this thread think it was. Expecting them to go back to something that never existed, well, it's a long shot.
