    The extremely poor grammar and spelling is also a curious element of the positive posts. Then again, the Colm & Lucy Show isn't exactly aimed at the more discerning listener.

    It's the radio equivalent of The Germ'y Kyle show.....:)

    I thought I heard murmurings about this, I thought it had to be a wind-up. So.......they're going to turn up at people's Christmas parties? For what, exactly? Are the financial constraints so dire at Castleforbes House that they can't hold their own staff party, so they're bumming a free turkey dinner and a few scoops off other people's employers?

    Whats going on with Nova's web stream? It keeps breaking down and repeating the previous couple of minutes,its been like that for the last few days! Any other online station I listen to plays normally!

    I've been tuning in to Lyric FM these past few mornings, myself. It's actually quite nice to listen to, first thing in the morning. Admittedly, I haven't a clue regarding the people behind the compositions. My knowledge of classical music is on par with Colm & Lucy's knowledge of rock music. But hey, who cares? It's nice to listen to and it gets me away from that other pair. Surprisingly enough, Lyric were running a competition this morning to win a copy of the Beatles White Album to mark the 50th anniversary of its release, and Marty Whelan actually ended up playing some tunes from the album itself. I wasn't complaining.

    I reckon he meant Christmas FM (or XMAS FM on RDS) which is on 105.2 in Dublin! I was looking at the website for Christmas FM and some of the presenters are past or present presenters from Radio Nova: Davin O'Callaghan, Gareth O'Connor, Marty Miller and Lisa Gernon.... and probably Hugh O'Brien and Mike Maloney.

    I actually heard some of Mike Maloney's new show on RTE Gold a week or so ago. Before, during and after Radio Nova, he has turned up on Christmas FM. I suspect he will be on again this year - probably on Saturday afternoons or evenings.

    Speaking of temporary licensed stations, it is interesting to see who of those currently involved with Nova has had involvement with such stations. Here's what I have:
    Kevin Brannigan: Choice FM, 949 The Rock and The Rock.
    Marty Miller: Real Radio, Zenith Classic Rock and Christmas FM.
    Dee Woods: Real Radio.
    Pat Courtenay: 949 The Rock and Christmas FM.
    Lisa Gernon: Christmas FM.
    Tony Ainscough: 949 The Rock.
    And over on Radio Nova's digital station Classic Rock we have -
    Pat James: 949 The Rock and Zenith Classic Rock.

    Funny that the common denominator is "rock"....ironically doesn't apply to nova....

    I found out since that Rebecca Horan was involved with Walk In My Shoes - temporary station which broadcasts for Mental Health Week.

    Here is another angle on the previous experience of Radio Nova's staff.

    All of the following have done stints as presenters on Wicklow's East Coast Radio /East Coast FM: Kevin Brannigan, Marty Miller, Dee Woods, Lisa Gernon and Greg Gaughren.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,575 ✭✭✭Declan A Walsh


    Many of the broadcasting staff on Nova started on the pirates. I think this reflects the ages of many of them. By the same token, the younger members of staff did not come through the pirate route. So, the names that come to mind for the pirates experience are:
    Kevin Brannigan, Colm Hayes, Greg Gaughren, Pat Courtenay, Liam Quigley, John Clarke and Pat James (the latter with digital station Classic Rock).

    Yes, wasn't sure if it was one of his 'comedy' sketches.

    Was listening to Greg Gaughran in the car last night. He played a rather fantastic "trad" sounding song from the Pogues. One you wouldn't hear too often on Nova. Who else wishes Greg had more free reign on what he can play?

    Does anyone actually enjoy listening to that muppet Pat Courtenay other than himself?
