They were all uploaded today! Yay!

In time for Friday and all... perfect Friday listening!

I tweeted him yesterday and he said he didn't know why they weren't there and to leave it with him. I always thought it was himself who uploaded them but perhaps not. Looking forward to them myself

Fantastic win for Ray Foley at the IMRO awards last week. He's found his love for radio again and his breakfast show is showing that. Delighted for him.

Still Number 1 Breakfast Show in Cork with an increase to 57,000 listeners in JNLR. Combined with the Music Presenter of the Year award not a bad few weeks for Foley!

hufpc8w3adnk65 · 25-10-2018 2:32pm

Yesterday morning reminded me of why he’s still the king! That song about going to Ovens to buy a bike was brilliant! Jay is a great foil for Foley and works well in that role and doesn’t try to dominate like Ross Browne does to KC!

This thread has gone very quiet recently - although I always say that's a sign that things are good as people talk about the bad stuff more often on this forum! ðŸ˜‚

Have to say I really do enjoy the Red FM breakfast show. Reminds me a lot of Foleys lunchtime show on Today FM. I still miss that show a lot. I think for what he does, that type of show, Foley really is the best there is. It's really brilliant that he's got his love for radio back.

Would maybe like to see a third member of the team, someone like Ann Gleason (sadly she's left the radio business) and a few more regular features, a Gauntlet kind of thing maybe but that doesn't change or take away from how good the show is. I listen online from up in Wexford as there's nothing better on here and Today FM has gone to the dogs.

Can't wait for the lads to be back on in the new year

I guess since the country is so small no local radio shows have busy threads here

Loughc · 28-12-2018 11:45pm

Completely agree with you EI209 I’m loving the RedFM breakfast show and Ray really seems to be having a laugh again and it really shows on air.

gamecube · 29-12-2018 12:16am

I wonder is he sorry that he burned his bridges with Today FM?

It must be a real killer to drive from Dublin to Cork all the time & stay away from his family most of the week

But it's nice that he's got his Mojo back, he does have a real talent for it when he's firing on all cylinders.

ofcork · 29-12-2018 12:18am

I can't see him keeping it up the way today FM is gone he's probably better off not there.

It's not that he burned his bridges with Today FM but the current CEO of Today FM and himself hate each other, Foley said loudly in a pub in castlebar 2 years ago "'id love to break the beardy ***** face"

Well that’s not true.

But how they treated him the last time he was due to return means they definitely burnt their bridges with him.

Really ? I agree he(Ray) didn't burn any bridges, it was the New todayfm CEO at the time and he hinted that his former producer Adelle McDonnell was off not directly part of him not coming back, that she had some part in it. I'm basing that on his comments in the last NTN podcast he did with Alan metcalfe.

I was wondering about him saying that in a pub. I mean his on air personna is one thing but he strikes me as a very serious person off air.

gamecube · 29-12-2018 5:05pm

They did double cross him by telling him he could come back & then nothing happening

Putting the boot into Today FM in his NTN podcasts was what I was on about in his burning his bridges with them.

They cannot have been too happy with the content of those podcasts directed at them.

Source? As in something already in print or broadcast on public radio. It's a serious allegation to be making if it isn't true.

Well those comments were made after he'd had that interview on todayfm with anton savage where he tried to not rise to Antons question(which given what happened to Anton Savage is interesting in hindsight) which I think happened after the proposed return to todayfm.

I don't think he burnt any bridges with todayfm. They did that burning, and his comments after the fact weren't going to make it better or worse. He's better off not there as the bit I've listened to in the last couple of years show it's a far less enjoyable place to work in. It's lost what made it a good radio station, both in terms of on air talent and direction.

gamecube · 29-12-2018 11:08pm

It is amazing how quickly Today FM have gone downhill over the past 5/6 years

I think Anton already knew he was out the door himself when he had that interview with Ray Foley

Couldn't agree more, sick of listening to it and have started turning over to 96fm for the quiz when it comes on. Nobody has a clue what it is and the same guesses keep coming up. Lost count on how many times 'walking on snow' has been guessed!

EI209 · 26-01-2019 12:23pm

Am I the only one that automatically thinks of Gauntlets from years ago when Ray and Jay play a certain song?

Last week they played Driveby by Train and as soon as I heard it I immediately thought of the time they made Parody's of it for The Gauntlet! It's probably a concern actually, I can barely remember what happened last week but I can remember things that happened on The Ray Foley Show in 2012...

Brooklyn99 just had an episode about their local radio station doing a secret sound competition. I couldn't help but think of that damn noise that Ray has been playing for months! He was nice enough to reply to my tweet about it too...

Another increase for Breakfast with Ray and Jay to 58,000 listeners. There may be war brewing with Today FM's play for Cork and this line from Adelle (now Content Director at Today FM) ''Ian Dempsey is without doubt the King of breakfast radio in Ireland...''

When did she say that? Do you think it's a deliberate dig at former King of the Nafternoons?

Content director ? Well she's not directing the content very well then is she ?Todayfm is a disaster of a station. It used to be able to be a station that rarely did much wrong, where now it seems(and I've not listened much the past couple of years, but I've listened enough) they can't do anything right and it's a combination of bad presenters just being worse and presenters who have proven they can be good being dragged down the crap todayfm call radio these days.

It's in the radiotoday.ie story rounding up reaction to JNLR's.

Haha if she said that she's full of sh1t. He would even sound dated on 4fm let alone Today Fm. They have been going down hill ever since Tony Fenton departed.

Anyway that's probably a conversation for another thread. This thread is about Ray & Jay who are doing a great job. Fair play to them.

Delighted they got another increase, no more than they deserve, the show is great fun!

Ursus Horribilis · 07-02-2019 9:04pm

It's a very good rating, seeing as they are on a local radio station.

hufpc8w3adnk65 · 07-02-2019 9:13pm

What kinda figures have KC and Ross got?

Howard100 · 07-02-2019 10:13pm

They are up 6k in the last 6 months to 47,000

Remember, Foley took over from KC and walked into the No1 Breakfast show in Cork

They have added to those numbers.

Give 96FM 12 months and it could be a very different picture. Having said that, the best morning radio in the country is coming out of Cork.

vince · 07-02-2019 11:44pm

Its over a year now. I reacon 96 wont rise much Nick Richards fans probadly dont take to a show which is already done on Red Fm . I prefer Rays show myself but i do find the ott laughing a bit much on these shows. Its not as bad as pj on classic hits though fake laughing not funny. Niel prenderville now at 78000 number one show will he make the 80000mark. he had 115000 when he left 96. I wonder what Pj has now.

DopeTech · 08-02-2019 3:50pm

Liked the bit this morning where they were slagging KC saying there's a job in red for him if he wants to come back!!!

The best part of that was, the next segement was Secret Sound and Ray asked the caller who's this and the caller went "it's KC here", Ray genuinely paused, he didn't know what to say.

Then the caller revealed he was taking the p*ss

JP was doing some lazy radio on Off the Ball the other night.

There was a mention of a footballer called James Garner.

Cue some Rockford Files and the like.

Ray is definitely a loss to national radio, he still shows his ability in the current gig. But if anything Jay is holding him back, he bursts out laughing at anything Ray says even when it's not meant to be funny. Then Jay tries to make a joke and he's just not a funny guy. It seems like Jay is in awe of him and it affects their chemistry. JP was a good friend of Ray so it just flowed much better.
