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.

Yeah, back a few pages there's a discussion about it. Ó Móráin had a bit of a go at the station as a parting shot. Iirc, he was given something like 6 day's notice.

Yeah Dempsey's show was really good this morning. Nice bit of nostalgia, remembering when the station was actually good!

Iano is a bit of a legend really... 20 years in that slot and 10-12 years before that doing it on 2FM. He's one of the last old school guys left on daytime radio.

I found the whole thing a bit bittersweet - remembering the halcyon days of when Today FM first arrived as a fresh, innovative, upstart to compete with RTE, and now we are left lamenting what it has become...It was good while it lasted I suppose!

Alison never reads out my texts where I go into great detail about vomiting into houseplants, and cutting off my own ears when I hear her whiney, grating voice on the radio. Weird. I send it every week.......

Alison Curtis has just read out the most Alison Curtis text ever.

'I am 32 weeks pregnant and dancing around the kitchen with my son, Eoin. Love the show Alison.'

This text is pretty much a version of every text ever sent in to that godforsaken show.

Ciara Kelly is another great one for reading out texts that I'm 100% positive are absolutely genuine and not made up :rolleyes: namedropping herself and saying how amazeballs the show is.

I know this is meant to be a whingefest thread but I loved Larissa critique of Hozier. That was great.

Speaking of Hozier... I can't decide whether I prefer Nina Cried Power or the new Nina Nesbitt song. NN's new single is extremely catchy

Cooper practically performed fellatio on Dempsey this evening as they celebrated each other, Today FM, Today FM staff, TV3/Virgin Media, etc. etc.

All that was missing was this:

Comes across as a bit of an airhead who hasn't a clue what's going on a lot of the time though.

I suspect he is sharper in real life than his On Air easy going persona would indicate. He knows his style of Breakfast Show isn't the place for sharp wit and opinions.

Ian was on with Matt Cooper this evening.

One interesting bit is he admitted that he wasn’t one bit happy with the changes Today FM management started making in the last 2-3 years. Initially at least, he said he consciously didn’t row in with it. But he’s changed his mind since, thinking “they must know what they are doing, the listenership figures are on the up” - or at least that’s what he says....

yea i do have to agree, he doesnt seem to have any awareness of whats going on in the world and subsequently doesnt have an opinion on anything, i'd say his life revolves around going to work in the middle of the night, coming home in the middle of the day and going for a big snooze then going to some function of sorts with celebrities from the 80's like brush shields....

He does come across as a nice guy though

Perfectly describes Larry gogan (no opinion on anything) so if that's any indicator, Ian could have another two decades left in him on radio.

dragonfly!

Fair play to Ian being there 20 years
I mean Im in my job a year and im sick of it

Lovely to hear some of the older clips this morning but was there any need to half stay with the usual format and half Happy Birthday Stuff?
Like either have these 3 words callers (as an example) or just forget about it and have the slot with the well wishers. Not this guise of we will have it now malarky.

Update from the Muireann O Connell show on twitter:

@MuireannO_C is chatting to Shauna from The Ian Dempsey Breakfast Show about how she repeatedly loses her make up bag

The world has hit a new low

Bring back Porter. Some of ye will no doubt disagree with me but he actually is entertaining and funny. And I do not believe the allegations made against him are true.

See this the thing. A few weeks back you made out that you were happy for him to go by saying 'it nearly makes me miss him'

You were an Al Porter fan from the off. You never wanted him to go. Give up the charade.

I think that's harsh. 20 years at the top of his game... if that's an airhead, I'll have some of that please. Eventually he'll be replaced by some Alison Curtis / Ferg D'Arcy clone and we'll be longing for Ian to come back!

19 years with 2FM & 20 years with Today Fm . . Fair play ! Can't see many these days having that sort of career, really enjoyed this morning's show on the way into work.

indeed, it was very nice, gas when you look back and it made the 6 o clock news, ian dempsey moves from RTE to an Independent station, it all worked out very well, but you would fear for the way its now going
