What was or is your favourite radio show?

Watching Mark Cagney on TV right now, brings me back to 80's radio - Night Train with Cagney was a great show as he played mostly non-single album tracks and 12 inch versions - think he started around 11.30 or so and brought you nicely to sleep around 1.45am when 2FM or whatever it was called back then, went off the air -if I remember rightly.

Prisoner request show that used to be on club FM 106.4 on a Sunday night. This one is for jayo in the joy, up the c landing .

Good exercise for the reptilian part of the brain.

I forgot, and I don't care if I'm judged :pac:, but Gerry Ryan is still missed by me. The radio show, everything else can feck off.

Used like Ray D'Arcy before he started riding his co host and he became the conscience of the nation.

The Open Mic on FM104 on Sunday nights back about 10 years ago was fantastic.

Cormac Battle's Battle Axewas brilliant too, had a great choice of alternative music

Yes. Jenny Houston's show was called "The Annex" Was on Saturday evening. Was repeated on a weekday night when I was doing Nightshift. Used to love that

They really are. Whoever in RTE thought it was a good idea to put Doireann and Eoghan on at 7am in the morning should be shot.

I for one do not want to listen to them (or anyone for that matter) ROARING down the radio that early in the morning.

Love The Niall Boylan show.

You couldn’t beat the pirate stations. Real dedicated music fans with their bags of rare grooves broadcasting from their sheds. When they regulated that shít they killed radio

John Creedon’s show. Excellent music, and he has a lovely way about him.

Val Joyce, he was great alright.

A lot of people in Limerick used to like Gerry Hannon on Radio Limerick One but the government weren't having it and to this day it remains the only station ever to have its licence revoked.

Nobody listens to the radio anymore

John Kelly's Mystery Train is hands down the best show out there.

Not the same since he ran off on the missus and got his producer pregnant.

Ya wot now?

The Full Irish ie. when Ryan Tubridy did breakfast on 2fm was good circa 2001 - 2004.
I used to like 'The House Party' on 2fm with Damien McCaul circa 2002 - 2003.
Also before that maybe 96 / 97 there was The Hotline with Tony Fenton.

Tony Fenton ( on your radio) was good on everything
