Adrian and Jeremy to leave 98fm

Word on the grapevine is that today is their last show.

Where they heading so ?

The way things change over the years as one trio has stuck in my head Dermot Dave and Siobhan and sadly missed.

Best news I’ve heard, Adrian is appalling as a presenter

Any summary of what's happening? Couldn't listen in

Show is being dropped entirely for an all music format.

Should like a cutback rather than they've been poached so.

Its pretty clear from the wording that they've not been poached, cutback is a possible reason as is that the format is dated and past it.

The missus would listen to it every morning. Very much a Jeremy Kyle lite on the radio. A divisive style of debate full of hyperbole. I won't miss it.

Will they have an evening talk show instead? How will they meet their current affairs Quota?

Perhaps they could buy in some podcasts, very cheap way to cover the quota, assuming that would be allowed as current afairs.

Remember the phone in these lads used to have about 10 years ago. Same heads ringing in every night.

Would start off with some outrageous scenario in order to get people to ring in initially. The person with the most offensive/against the grain opinion would be left on the line the longest whilst outraged listeners lined up to tell them they were a disgrace.

I remember my housemate rang up one eve to specifically ask if a particular caller, Joan I think it was, whether she was a plant. Needless to say he was cut off on a time delay and dead air was filled by Adrian and Jeremy explaining that "they cannot have that kind of talk on air" Open endedly insinuating he'd made some kind of outrageous statement that could be offensive 😂

Longer news bulletins probably. Do they currently have evening news bulletins? They'll be reintroduced if not.

Their "Adrian Kennedy & Jeremy Dixon" Facebook page seems to have been deleted. That page had a lot of activity and followers, and was originally set up following their departure from FM104, it wasn't 98FM branded. Seems rather counterintuitive deleting it if they're looking to maintain the following they have.

It was deleted about five minutes after they announced their departure and whilst the show was still on air.

I’m listening to Adrian & Jeremy for years now from FM104 at night to 98FM in the morning, I enjoy the banter between the lads, Hopefully it won’t be to long before they are back on air. For presenters loosing their jobs they didn’t sound to upset today I’d say they know more.

I didn't realise they were still on the go. Kennedy has been doing the same show on one station or another for 25 years.


Is Chris Barry still on East Coast FM?

When was Chris Barry with East Coast FM? I know he was with Capital Radio/Rock104/FM104, 98FM and Sunshine 106.8. He also came back to FM104 for a little while, having been away from it for some years. Along the way, he was involved with temporary licensed stations Christmas FM, 949 The Rock and Real Radio.

But it's the first I heard of his involvement with East Coast FM. Although, at one stage, it was in the same building as 106.8. I'm not sure if it was in the same building when he was with the latter, but it's possible.

I think the last time I listened to Adrian there was an aul lad going off on one about anal sex being immoral, and that the sphincter WILL be damaged and the receiver will end up wearing nappies.

Do people still call him “Chris”?

Ha yes, Joan!
Jude was another "regular"

And "Zoltan", who later went by "John". He was supposedly a wheelchair user who hated working class Dubliners and verbally abused them regularly on the show. He was comedy gold though.
