    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

    That bloody secret sound! You’d think they’d have given some clue by now.

    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!

    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.

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    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.
