Today FM Megathread Mod warning post #1 / #1401

A game of "memory skill" which involves them sending you the exact figure via text message on a daily basis.

It is most definitely gambling

It is odds based - you part with €2.50 and you have a chance at getting the pot (after the company take their share) like the lotto - with slightly better odds i suspect

It is not really a memory skill as they don't actively test your memory. I'd say a vast majority write down the amount and don't recall it on demand from memory

you get a daily text message with the amount??? Have never got this, and Ive tried winning that money more than a few times 🤨

Jesus christ, it's a competition folks. Don't enter it if you don't want, I've never seen outrage and questioning about such a non-issue.

i listened to ian dempsey for 5 or 6 mins this morning and gift gub was on, havent heard it in about 10-12 years. it hasnt aged well at all, some skit about alexa that rosenstock got to shoehorn accents into, there really is no satire at all in his skits. he could have done that skit in 2007 and wouldnt have to change it, poor stuff. whats with the waterford accent being aggresive ? i dont get that connection?

Yeah so do I. I entered for the first time when it reached the record total and they have bombarded me with reminders since.

The irony is, it costs the same to opt out by texting STOP as it does to continuing entering the draw. 100%, unashamed promotion of gambling.

In 2016, Today FM did away with the long-running Friday Night 80s, and recently they added a new programme to their Friday night schedule called Today FM 80s!

That could well be true. I was thinking more of the fact that Today FM dropped a programme off their Friday night schedule where they played 80s only music, only to come back with another one six years later!

Speaking of Friday Night Anthems, maybe Jessica Maciel's departure wasn't as amicable as first appeared, several months later and the only music she's getting paid to play is at Wednesday night student parties.

She had that parlour with her husband throughout her Today FM career, she was one of the organisers of a tattoo convention in the RDS earlier this year but that's finished now.

Maybe she doesn't want to do radio work anymore but it seems a bit of a loss to see someone who has a bit of BBC Radio 1 experience under her belt dissappear from the airwaves and just play in clubs on a work night.

Her show with that other lad was genuinely the worst thing I've ever heard on radio. Not her fault tbh.
