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.

Don't be surprised if Paula Macsweeney gets afternoons and if Fearghal Darcy gets the bullet.

Based on what, exactly? I mean, I get that people on boards don't like him, but he had the biggest year-on-year increase in listeners of all Today FMs daytime DJs. Would seem a bit perverse and self-defeating for Today FM to sack him as a result, no?

The new program controller (or content director as they are now called) has said that he wants to have more female Voices on the schedule.

In fairness, there are loads of women on the Today FM schedule.

Problem is, most of them are mediocre at best. The standard of new presenter has been shocking over recent years.

Can't see fearghal getting sack... Has big audience... I'd be looking at the 40k that turn off at 12 and people turning back on at 2pm

Otherwise known as lunchtime? I like Mairéad's show and listen until 1 or so if I'm in the office - or, well, actually, at home too - but then it's time to buy/make lunch and get out of the office/kitchen cum office for a bit. Whoever has that slot will lose listeners - pretty sure that's reflected in other stations' JNLRs, too.

Listening figures worse than muireann I'd say she will be one under pressure lunchtime at today fm don't last long

I was never a fan of Fergal but he is kinda growing on me - I don't hear all of his show, only the last hour and I dunno why but I don't dislike him as much.
They made a terrible mistake axing Phil Cawley Friday night 80's - wonder if the new head will bring him back, but they won't make the same mistake again and axe Ed Smith too. I wouldn't be a big fan of the music he has to play Monday to Thursday but Sunday nights Songs of Praise is just brilliant - you never know what gem he will play next.

Tracy Clifford is a great alternative too “Ferg” lads! No talks of 90s memories

The music on Ferg's show is awful, it's just so bad. I think he'd be OK on a nighttime show with his own choice of music

Just out of curiosity, where’d he say that?

Had the Breakfast Show on this morning on the way home from the school run and Ian Dempsey played his first Christmas Song which was Fairytale of New York. The edited, watered down, PC friendly Fairytale of New York.

So have Today FM gone the way of the BBC with this?

They just had an annual book review.

Will O'Callaghans were fine.

Then they had Niamh Briggs who had 2 rugby books, 1 book that was a childrens book for girls (but she says it for boys too and is giving it to her 6 month old nephew) and 1 book from her buddies in the 42.ie who are "local irish journalists who really support womens sports".

What a waste.

Very surprised when Matt Cooper said Rob Kearneys interview on the show was one of the most downloaded podcasts because he was an absolute bore who gave short scripted answers.

He was on the Today Show a couple days after and was repeating the same scripted lines. He was asked what his best moment in an Irish shirt was. I thought he'd say the grand slam in Twickenham or Wales but he went by the same script as the other interviews..."I'd have to say 2018, as I had gone through a period of being out of form, out of the team, struggling with injuries and to get back to that level and force my way back into the team was a proud achievement."

Was working this morning at home and it on, was brutal radio. Only my radio is so old and stuck on Today FM, I would've changed it. Normally happy to have the station on all day long

I used to really enjoy Dara Quilty’s shows but I’ve heard him on Spin 1038 and TodayFM recently and not really enjoyed listening. I can’t quit put my finger on why.

It can feel sometimes like he’s trying to force himself to sound a bit different from the usual style for presenters. I just can’t figure out what’s made me go off him, but I used to be a big fan.

My bad, 213 results now. Maybe I only searched this thread instead of 'Radio'.
