    Will said there would be a presenter after Christmas

    Maybe it'll be JJ Hartigan?

    Heard Al Dunne saying that his Fri and Sat 80s show is now more.
    He is moving to Aidan Leonard's slot on a Saturday morning.

    Hopefully Aidan is staying with RTE Gold!


    Rick O'Shea taking over Will Leahy's 80s show.

    Rick O' Shea & Will Leahy are on RTE Gold a year now after getting moved from 2fm

    Are people here enjoying their shows this past year or are people thinking that RTE Gold is just a retirement home for presenters too old for 2fm?

    I prefer current affairs or OffTheBall AM before 9 so don’t really listen to Will.

    Have to say that Rick O’Shea’s show is the best 3 hours of “radio” on a week day. I could never listen to him on 2FM. I’d just gotten used to the afternoon show when they reshuffled but the 10:00 to 13:00 slot fits perfectly in to my day. Hopefully they’ll get someone in for the afternoon.

    I don't get to listen to Rick's show that often but when I do it's always very good & I enjoy his choice of songs over the 3 hours.

    I would imagine they're getting paid (Nails having been on Q102 very recently for instance) - does Gold have any ads or is it solely licence funded?

    Not going to be an expensive service and I imagine much of the audience are of the age to be licence payers anyway!

    Larry doesn't really feature on the new weekend schedule.

    Sounds of the 60s and The Classic Countdown are gone..just The Classic Album remains for Larry with him introducing an album.

    Dalys 80s seemed to go into repeat mode coming up to christmas and now is gone completely from the schedule :(
    Really liked the mix of music and retro pieces in that show.

    I'm getting very fed up with the music played on Gold
    We've a 5 month old to get to sleep so it is on most of the day and evening.

    The same songs play every night. It is gone beyond a joke.

    I have sent in emails, texts and facebook messenges about it.
    Not one reply.

    Why don't you try John Kelly on Lyric or John Creedon on RTE Radio 1. I never found radio much use for getting babies to sleep mind you.

    It's more for background noise and not to have the tv on

    I’ve moved over from Gold to TodayFM 90’s. It has a good mix of songs for a 90’s child like me and minimal adds.

    Ever since they "revamped" it, there's too much waffle. On some of the voicetracked shows the music selection is all over the place. Actually heard Smoke on The Water stuck in between a couple of inane pop tunes. One morning at 8.30 they played a promo boasting - no ads, no news, just music and then went straight into news headlines!!! Have also heard a couple of obvious repeats from years gone by as the jock has implored people to listen to Ireland's Biggest Jukebox with John Clarke. Then again, it is RTÉ I suppose.......

    RTE Gold is a great station..Did you hear this morning?, it had less than an hour of Radio 1 Shay Byrne's rising time.
    The switchover must not have kicked in after (RTE Gold on Radio 1) at 5:30am

    Its a pity Rte Gold wouldn't continue right up until 7am. That Shay Byrne is one annoying bastard.

    I was wondering that myself recently, I don't remember the last timexI heard him on the station.

    I thought Pat O Mahony did a great job standing in for Rick O'Shea for the past couple of weeks. A bit scatterbrained on the chat but the music was excellent, a real proper mix and some very unusual choices.

    I find RO'S plays a lot of stuff on rotation...... I think the show is just a time filler for him at times and he'd sooner be on an arts show on R1.

    Rick currently on the Radio 1 S O'R show discussing books, while over on RTE Gold his show is on robo-jock !!
    I like Rick but he has a fairly cushy permanent job on RTE.

    If RTE close down the lyric FM hq in Limerick it will probably be the end of Will Leahy's RTE Radio career
