Today FM Megathread Mod warning post #1 / #1401

The Parish priest

The Today fm ceo has announced major changes are coming in 17...Any predictions ? My guess cormac and daniella for breakfast, Chris and Ciara for mid morning and Ian Dempsey goes to drive time

Mod:
Yes there has been made some accusations against a presenter and no you can't discuss them because everything you post about the subject can, and will, be held against boards (and yourself if they decide to sue you) as libel until proven in court basically. Sucks for us but such are the laws of Ireland and unlike major news papers boards do not have an standing army of attorneys to deal with such legal cases. Hence a whole lot of deleted posts and bringing up the subject until further notice will lead to cards and bans.

The thing with Leo Varadkar was pre-recorded, no way he was taking questions live on air.

I knew it was prerecorded, they said it was. I still think the same.

No leader of any country is going to go on an open mic and answer unscreened questions EVER

Listening to Dermot and Dave at the moment. I think they are doing a good job with the questions. I wonder how restricted they are. They don't seem to be biting their tongue on the questions. Especially Dermot.

Book on book changes in JNLR's for primetime weekday schedule...

Ed's Songs of Praise up 5,000 on Sundays according to his social media. Not seen any others :-(

Where did you spot these, as a matter of interest? Only saw RTE and Newstalk on the Journal.

Yeah they had a fair share of sensible topical questions along side the other questions. I thought it was good!

Was the premier league costing them too much for production and rights (guessing or did I read that somewhere?) as well as not generating insta stories and other social media rubbish.

I think with all the Sport coming under the OTB banner and probably the cost of the Premiership on Saturday, this was a cost cutting issue. I loved the 5-6pm hour with the interviews, texts and calls & analysing the state of play for the day. And sure if you had Brian Kerr just reading the phone book with his comments, I'd listen all day.

On the whole weekend shake up - was listening last weekend and I'm ashamed to say with all the new voices, I couldn't decipher who was who. I am not saying they aren't good (no I would not like someone to criticise my job from the outside) but they all sound the same, there are no different traits or characteristics between most of the presenters … other than Alison making kids and their parents dance around the kitchen! The songs are the same day in, day out (during the hours of 7am to 7pm) and so are the voices.

Given the Phil Cawley stats there & the previously mentioned Premier League Live ones of 134,000 (maybe I'm leaving out 30,000 there?) then Today FM are throwing the baby out with the bathwater; both those Saturday Shows were performing quite well in comparison to their daytime colleagues.

Listening to Ed this evening and happened to hear an ad for their new Saturday show with Dec Pierce and Anna Geary. WTF are they thinking? Why replace PLL with that nonsense? It really is like introducing Poochie to the Itch and Scratchy show levels at this stage.

I've learnt a long time ago not to second guess how radio management deal with listenship figures and how they react with the hiring and firing of their presenters. Good numbers can mean people are moved, bad numbers and they move them to prime time.

PsychoPete

That looks pretty bad for Mairead. 75,000 is some drop off after Dermot and Dave

Agreed but it is a niche market radio wise.

As with Kelly Anne Byrne who's show is the best in the country for me. Its not for everyone but the selection is just amazing.

Yeah, Dunphy is compelling, if he's speaking on any subject I am totally hooked. His weekly podcast show, "The Stand" is excellent by the way.

Another reminder of how god awful so many of the regulars on this show are, Jen Gannon and the likes

I am listening to TLW with Matt, and he has Eamonn Dunphy on his “culture” segment. I am agreeing with Eamonn Dunphy on nearly every choice he’s made. One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, tick; Marian Callas, tick; Bob Dylan, tick.

I don’t know what’s happened to me but I am concerned for my future wellbeing

Dunphy, forgot the hyperbole stuff, is one of the good guys.
