    Never heard of the chap from Beat Fm, you can't help but feel he will have to move to the other side of the Broadcast Centre if he is to make a name for him self.

    Christ Damo is in full "sure we're great" mode, level 5 lockdown about to be imposed and he is playing moments from previous shows that helped him win his gong.

    Case will have a non disclosure clause on whatever was agreed on it so there will be nothing said and in fairness the people on here will be right not to allow discussion of it.

    Nearly a week later and it's still going on. I wonder has Michael O'Keeffe from Dungarvan any say on who gets what award. He is or was fairly high up in the world of radio.

    Timmy left and went to Dublin a good few years back and came back. Left the morning programme it seems after a fall out within the station and was hoping to do a show later in the day but was told it was not going to happen. It seems that both Geoff and Ollie would have done a swap but management said no and now only on at the weekend and an odd Bank Holiday monday. Would have said he would be the ideal person to cover holiday's and sick days for others but they seem to prefer your man that was with beat. The chap that was with Tipp FM seems to be gone altogether.

    Started one up, but I've heard more than once there was a falling out. Asked to be moved to a different time slot but it was not granted.

    And don't forget "F-BANK PUNKS" everywhere in the 80s long before tagging came along. There was also "MAX + SEX", I know who "Max" is/was but we shouldn't name names....😀
