Dermot is leaving Today FM! 😲

ILikeBoats · 08-08-2023 11:29AM

Dave Moore on Today FM

Big move for Dermot!

radiotrickster · 08-08-2023 11:30AM

Dave is going to keep going solo from August 28th. I wonder how different that will sound? Same features like Dave’s World and his bad jokes?

hold my beer · 08-08-2023 11:32AM

Noooooooo. Dave is grand on his own but the show really misses Dermots comedy. Terrible news.

Will Cathal take more of a feature role in the show now, when Dermot took time off to do his tour I enjoyed the show as Sean and Cathal were featured more and added to the craic. The ensemble feel worked for D&D type show.

whiterebel · 08-08-2023 11:39AM

Wow even more over excitable Dave about Man Yoo, boy bands, best movies EVER, puppy dog over how much they give away on cash machine.....I can see an off button in the show's future.

ILikeBoats · 08-08-2023 11:40AM

Yeah Dave is ok, but Dermot was the funny one.

I guess Sean, Cathal and Maria will feature more. They do add a bit of fun. Always liked Maria.

Will miss Say Stuff That Suits The Music

pjohnson · 08-08-2023 11:50AM

Sean Cathal and Maria will all chip in plenty.

I like Maria a lot. Wish Dermot all the best and happy Dave is staying anyway!

Yeah there's no way they aren't gonna have a drop off in listeners you'd think. Dave is an absolute dose on his own. Dermot just reins it all back in and is the actual funny one.

radiotrickster · 08-08-2023 11:54AM

Sean’s Instagram says he produces Moncrieff on Newstalk now so he must also be gone

Yeah he was just covering Maria's maternity leave.

radiotrickster · 08-08-2023 12:11PM

The amount of Irish Louise Cantillon speaks is a big turn-off for me. She would be great for Raidio na Gaeltachta

It’s so strange to me how people get hung up on someone speaking Irish on an Irish radio station.

It really gives off a ‘moaning for the sake of moaning vibe’.

JoeA3 · 08-08-2023 12:45PM

Nothing wrong with the bit of Irish imo, we should encourage it if anything! Its her hoarse "I was on the lash all day yesterday" voice that grates on me at times.

Shame Dermot is off, but I think it was coming for a while. He took an extended break earlier this year for his "mindful" stuff so I'd say he's been planning this departure for some time.

This, exactly, on both counts. Imagine complaining about literally a cúpla focal on an Irish radio station... 🙄 And no mention of Cathal Minogue's learning Irish, or Is Linne an Domhan Anocht?

I'm a fan of Dave (well, both of them), but Dave + Maria + Cathal will be just as good, I think. Best of luck to Dermot!

pjohnson · 08-08-2023 01:37PM

Dermot will defo pop in regularly as well I'd say. Himself and Dave are actual mates so if Dermot is free I wouldn't be least bit surpised if he rocked up.

Say Stuff That Suits the Music will definitely cameo again.

matrix mick · 08-08-2023 04:16PM

So the only reason that I might ever have tuned back into d&d is gone.

I'm actually happy because I don't think dave will last in that slot on his own. I would absolutely love if Anton Savage was brought back for the slot he should never have left in the first place.

boogaloop · 08-08-2023 04:46PM

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120953256#Comment_120953256

I agree. While I don't have anything against Dave, I'm not sure he'll last too long without Dermot. Even if Cathal & Maria join in, still a big big ask for Dave to essentially try & carry the show.

Part of me hopes I'm wrong, the other part wants Anton Savage back.

I feel sorry for Dave as I think he'd have been happy trucking away with Dermot forever more.

JP Liz V1 · 08-08-2023 06:11PM

Dermot will be missed

It's not an Irish language station though?

mr_edge_to_you · 08-08-2023 07:40PM

How will the fake laughing work when theres only one of them in the studio?

Lost Ormond · 08-08-2023 08:08PM

And? She adds a little cupla fucal in every so often. bit too much for me but does it really matter?

nc6000 · 09-08-2023 09:16AM

I'd say every second time I check this thread I end up wondering why people even listen to the station.

What the problem with a few words in Irish every now and then?

Brock Turnpike · 09-08-2023 09:19AM

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120954132#Comment_120954132

In the Grand scheme of life, obviously not. In the listening to of radio, then I think people should be allowed to decide whether something is pleasant/annoying/etc. themselves tbh.

Dannyman76 · 09-08-2023 09:55AM

It was an excellent show, would love to see it return

What was an excellent show?

siblers · 09-08-2023 10:24AM

I like Louise Cantillon, she's good craic, has an actual personality, she seems fairly sound and isn't trying too hard to be funny or relevant etc.

The music isn't great so I do end up switching back and forth although she does play the occasional banger.

Muller1991 · 09-08-2023 11:35AM

I actually think she is a well rounded presenter, Fits in well when covering for others. However the mixing of Irish and English can be a little bit annoying at times.

You do know that most Today FM presenters and any other radio presenter in any other station for the most part do not get to select the music so the Bangers are already there.

flazio · 09-08-2023 06:29PM

People can, it's called changing the station. If enough listeners drop off, she gets the sack. If enough listeners stay and the cash machine texts keep coming in during her show, she stays.
