I think a Saturday Night 90s show would be nice.

So what does everyone think of new weekend afternoon presenter Neil Molloy? Also it is nice to see Ruth still getting shifts.

He's another one of Hayes gimmicks. That's what.

Enjoyed the breakfast show this morning. Liam is so much better than Hayes, the music was better as well. The fact the show actually started at 6am was great. It went downhill a little bit when Lucy arrived at 7am but still better than usual.

Liam has barely any knowledge of music whatsoever. Yes a radio guy, not a music bloke. Gentleman too, but not a right fit to replace John Clarke. That was when Nova crossed the line.

Haven't heard enough of Liam to comment on his music knowledge. Didn't listen to John Clarke very often as I didn't tend to be in the car when his show was on. So I wouldn't try to compare the two. However Liam was a fantastic replacement for Hayes. And if he was the one picking the tunes those mornings, then I'm happy with his musical tastes.

I don't think that a great deal of musical knowledge is needed for a breakfast show host but they should have at least a basic level of knowledge of the music they are playing (or meant to be playing). Lucy didn't even know who Eddie Vedder was and couldn't pronounce his name FFS!

Even Weird Al Yankovic knows who Eddie Vedder is.

Heard LQ mispronounce a band the other day...cant think of it now...but it made me cry a little...HEY..LEAVE EDDY VENDER OUT OF THIS..HES A GOD...:D

I heard a bit there on Nova where the sting was saying 'Nova is Coldplay the best of Rock' or something to that effect.
I thought to myself, they play the likes of that on easy listening stations like Q102.
Personally I would consider Coldplay easy listening type music at best, background music at worst.
Is this how diluted Nova has become if Coldplay is considered Rock and is promoted front and centre?

Nova lost its rock status years ago. Now it's bants, 80's and easy listening crap.

barney shamrock · 30-05-2019 08:23AM

... and yet they have a classic rock station radio licence.
Nonsense at this stage.

Ah stop. Coldplay are rock by any definition. If Q102 play them then that's Q102's business.

Now, Coldplay are also shyte but that's a different question.

Whenever I see this thread popping up you seem to have a recent comment. Every comment is some form of criticism, why do you continue to listen? You're one of nova's most avid listeners!

I wouldn't say Coldplay are rock. I'd have them in the same bracket as Kodaline, The Script and Snow Patrol...Just bland pop bands.

Nice little comment there by PC. While referring to the *D* , he says *Make Nova great again*

Easy - get rid of Colon and Loopy and sack the person that writes the current playlist. Let the DJs choose what they want to play and allow listeners to pick music.

Radio Nova= lots and lots and lots of 80s music .......

In line with their target audience

Hamsterchops · 07-06-2019 08:21PM

Many people who were young back in the 80s are now in their 50s. Are they Nova's target audience?

Yes. 25 to 54.

Made two attempts recently to have newish tracks included in their playlist, but failed on both attempts. Firstly I asked if 'Vote For Me' by the Specials could be played in the week of the recent election (very apt), yet they played Ghost Town (1981) and not very apt at all. previously I asked if they could play a track off "Two against Nature" by Steely Dan, but no, they just had to go way back in time to a Dan track from Groucho (1980), so yes, they really are hooked on the 80s ...

Max Headroom · 08-06-2019 09:30AM

They would have had to run it by Hayes...so no surprise they didnt play them...their listeners would have turned off....

At the rate that Hayes is wasting money fuelling his ego the station is doomed....
