Its that time again!! season of goodwill joy.

I was listening to Marzie Finucane this morning telling us "We'll be back with you next Saturday....." Will she?? or will Montrose be staffed by two porters ,a continuity announcer, and a fleet of taperecorders for the TWO WEEKS of their Xmas???

Its always a good time to see what the current pecking order is and who gets the time off and who works..

Jaysus..... at least it’s not until 12.

Incredible is all one can say.

Duffy tends to come back earlier and disappear quite shortly after, say maybe around Valentines.

If I was a cynic I would say it was probably a ploy to give the impression of ‘back to normal’ for the place.

And as predicted it’s extra holidays for Joe as well. Kate E Hannon on Liveline duty. Will we hear Darcy or maybe they will go through the full card with everybody off?

Extended holidays for Tubridy - until Wednesday - and Claire Byrne, with Bouchier Hayes filling in for "a few days". Ronan due back at 12.00 but Duffy could be doubtful.

Will the first team appear from Goggins (if it’s open) on Monday.

Will the neckbeards don the cardigans and leather elbow patches for 04 Jan

RTE Gold in Darcy's slot. Other "talk" shows running as normal.

M.I. Started at 0800.

Drive time at 1700.

You are flogging a dead horse here dude.

Other talk shows are not running as normal.

People in RTE are being paid huge money to provide Public Service Broadcasting.

The Indies are producing far better product for a fraction of the cost.

There is no way you and your fellow travelers can defend that.

Undoubted star of dead period the newsreader with the Nordie accent.

O’Brien is her name I think.

Now on another serious topic, would someone do a cull out in RTE on this ‘Nooze’ pandemic.

It’s ‘News’ lads and lassies.

Originated in AA Roadwatch, TV3, and ‘Noozetalk’.

Montrose is badly infected especially with these ‘B’ listers appearing from all quarters while the highly paid ‘stars’ beak the mulled wine in Goggins of Monkstown and the neckbeards drink The Galloper out of brandy.

Need to get Holohan in there....not good enough.

It’s Carla O’Brien, wife of Tony Holohan’s deputy,
Ronan Glynn. Getting a good run out over the Christmas break

I'm finding the PBH covering for Claire covering for Ryan show today one of the best programmes in that timeslot for months.
Good mix of topics and interviews.
Only glitch was the loooooong delay on the line to China but that's normal for RTE.

PBH putting out some sort of current affairs show this morning in the "Today" slot. RTE really dropped the ball here this week, at least Newstalk had Mark Cagney presenting a live current affairs show in Pat's slot, and it was quite good.

I'll believe your concern about news on RTE when you post it at a time when they would normally have news not 637am

I would have thought that they would have made an effort this year instead of hawking the usual recorded rubbish on us.

They even remembered to give us Rte Gold from the first lockdown..not the worst thing in fairness.

It’s disrespecting their listeners.

But of course the listeners don’t count as long as the ‘stars’ can have their beaks stuck in the mulled wine for the 12 days.

We’ve had months of the bloody Covid from rte radio to the point I stopped listening because it was constant hushed tones and as if the world was falling. I know it’s not been great but the world is still spinning on its axis. Leave the RTÉ negative crowd have some time away.

Good call Bendar.....the need for proper public service broascasting does not disappear over the holiday period.

RTE seem to think it does - everything dummed down - B team in place and and the guys and gals on the big wedges laughing all the way to the bank.

Rumm do in this posters opinion....

Lillian has publicly stated that she prefers presenting the the weekend mornings to previously doing weekends on late date ...though this is probably a lifestyle statement

For a good while after she was removed from weekend late date, she didn't have her own slot in the schedule but still frequently filled in.

He gives exactly what the majority of his listeners want after four hours of current affairs and an hour of Tubridy.

Good point P ...I guess you can't arg with the numbers !

Not for me though ...bang down the orf button pretty sharpish when CB has wrapped...sometimes I'm told with unnecessary speed and force.

Did you ever hear the phrase "Freshen things up" or "try something new "

My gripe with Collins is that you can tell what he is going to say in the intro and for most of the prog.

Is that right for a Radio Show ?

The listeners deserve better ...lazy dull broadcastin ...needs to change .
