Are RTÉ seriously grooming PBH to be a future, front line personality for Radio 1.
It's not that he's untalented but my God he is dull.
I just can't see him taking the helm of any current daytime shows on R1 and holding the audience.
Am I missing something here?

You are not.

Competent, but not a first teamer.

he had 12 weeks off last year, on course for repeating this year if not more

he needs time off to write down all the stories he got by advertising FOC on RTE for his new buke, Chislers of the Troubles and getting a bit of an oul buzz going by slipping in the odd 39/ 40 year old death onto the Live Line the last few weeks

it really is gone beyond a joke in montrose for the elites , Animal farm comes to mind , while they sell off the family silver to fund the pigs gluttony.

Awful show today, where is Joe gone and did he say he wouldnt be here today or tomorrow. How much leave does he have, he either has a committment to the job or he doednt.
PBH is absolutely dire, his drawly voice would cure insomnia.
Ray Darcy has been talking the most inane drivel for the last fourteen minutes. I usually turn the radio off till 5 pm, is he as bad as he is today everyday.

Actually appropriate in this instance....Ah....are you new here? :pac::pac::pac:

To answer your question Joe never announces he's going on a break-een OR his "main holiday", and when he returns he acts like he was never away.

Have you never seen dis before caller? It's updated daily so to speak:

TWODAY'S De Brand NEW & IMPROVED so to speak 2-18 Joe Duffy Wurkday Calculator and dat:

Wurkdays in 2-18 and dat: 173
Joe Shows: 137
No Show Joe Shows: 36
Breakeens 4 Joe: 36
PBH (de full-time host of de show) Shows: 31
PBH guest appearances and dat: 1
D'Omen Shows: 4
AN Udder Shows: 0
Good Fryday No Show by nobody at all at all: 1

NEW FEATURE SO TO SPEAK:
Fateen's Estimated Fees (De FEF Matrix so to speak) to date dis year:
AT LEAST €342,500*

(not including de EXTRA FEES for 3 days of De Beast From De East TV + Radio Simulcast Xtravaganza + likely "Danger Money" for travelling to and from wurk in de snow and dat).

*de fees are calculated at €2,500 per show x days dat Fateen is in so to speak. Dose fees are likely conservative and outdated as day are 2 years old so to speak.
I'm including Good Fryday as a Wurkday as it is not an official Bank Holiday/Holiday Day. Even Pat Kenny is in Newstalk FFS, but no-one in RTE of course of course.

DON'T FORGET -
"We're here all summer" sez he.

But surely even self employed people cant take leave off every week. Its ridiculous now how often PBH is on and you tune in and only at that point do you realise Joe is gone again.
The show today was beyond dire.

It's been quare bad all week too. I haven't lasted more than half an hour any day.In fact it's gone downhill a lot lately. I find myself pressing CH- or + a lot these days.

I seem to recall him doing a very good job when dealing with the Tuam babies scandal, when Catherine Corless first brought it to media attention, a few years ago. PBH was at the helm that week, and he dealt with it really carefully (never going beyond what could reasonably be established, no exaggeration or hyperbole), and with great sensitivity.

I wouldn't like to imagine how Joe Duffy would have dealt with an emerging news story like that.

Having said that, Duffy has the greater knack for *seeming to* relate to he man on the street; he actually does seem very sympathetic, especially towards elderly callers.

If PBH were ever to take over Liveline, I can imagine it becoming more of a consumer rights/ consumer complaints show. He seems to have a special interest in that kind of thing, as opposed to the kind of story where Bridie has per post-office savings wiped out by bad, bad bastards.

Very true, Tyrant. PBH is indeed an investigative journalist and has a good track record doing that. Duffy feigns the common touch and enough stupid auld wans fall for it.

But why oh why put PBH repeatedly on a vehicle like Liveline where it suits neither him nor most listeners who expect the Duffyesque "are ya alright dere, Petal!" style?
Why not be consistent and put Marty Morrissey or Marty Whelan on it when Duffy is not there? Two more characters who can fake caring about the common eejit. They'd be good at it and it might be a better listen the way it's set up now.

Marian Finucane was good on consumer issues too
These two did 'Look Here' on tv in the 90s

I think he'd be fine on the "Today" slot. Less well-suited for much of the empty-headed "hail fellow well met, yo-ho-ho" programming, unless there's a significant change of direction planned. Notwithstanding that at this stage he's subbed on almost all of it.

Won't presume to speak to likely audience numbers, as I'm still regularly astonished by the codswallop people evidently choose to listen to.

Finucane can barely get thru her 4 hours at the weekend without needing an oxygen tent installed in the studio , she wouldn’t be able for the liveline anymore thanks to the fags and anyway isn’t she grand on the 200 k for 4 hrs a week rate .
