I wonder is Bob a dig at us, boards online bores

Bob...?

Every funny promo makes a reference to Bob, and how they're worried about Bob. Dawned on me that maybe it was an anagram

it sounds if GG is recorded

I got shot down for suggesting it would be pre-recorded when it was announced he was taking over that slot.

I hit the nail on the head I think - most shows on that slot previous to GG were pre-recorded.

I tuned in to the PJ & Jim Show on Classic Hits this morning. They played Blondie's 'Maria' and U2's 'Mysterious Ways'. During the chat section they spoke about relevant music news such as the U2 and Bon Jovi concerts. Colm & Lucy were on about the usual nonsense. If you were to play snippets of each show from this morning to someone who wasn't in the know and you were to ask them which one do they think is Dublin's only rock station, they'd most likely answer 'PJ & Jim' (and they're not even trying to be a rock programme, yet they're doing it better than Nova).

I've actually started listening to classic hits and its much more "rocky" than Nova for sure. There were concerts - rock concerts - being mentioned that were never ever mentioned on Nova.

TBH I'm glad I made the switch over to classic hits, it just seems to be run better and more music. Not always rock but hey can't win them all

I said this in a post on FB a while back.

One of the "jocks" on Nova took umbridge with me and made a pretty pissy reply....guess I touched a nerve..

Pissy Jocks..

sorry!

Seems to be the MO here on Nova. Delete complaints on Facebook and tell long term faithful listeners to gtfo.

I really can't understand how anyone thinks that morning show is listenable. It's juvenile, scripted and fake.

I have heard quite a bit of "PJ & Jim" lately, including yesterday and today. Incidentally, P.J. Gallagher had to go home sick early yesterday, before I was listening, and he was out sick today. Their producer "Magic" Mike was standing in for him. I have to admit Jim McCabe with P.J. or Mike are probably one of the less annoying duo combinations on breakfast radio.

Going back to Radio Nova, another curious angle is the number of presenters with national radio experience: Colm Hayes (2FM), Marty Miller (Today FM), Ruth Scott (2FM), Greg Gaughren (Century Radio), Liam Quigley (Century Radio and 2FM) and John Clarke (2FM).

They've definitely deleted posts that were critical of the breakfast show (they deleted one of mine). But the comments kept coming, so I think they just gave up on trying to delete them all. They seem to have found a 'solution' of sorts. It appears that they're just not posting anything pertaining to the breakfast show anymore.

Well looking at the drivel they post on facebook they obviously have paid peanuts and gotten monkeys to look after their marketing/social media
