My band on tonight after 11 , we're a grand bunch of lads
Think I heard ya one Emily Bru on Sunday breakfast today, could of sworn she called herself by a different (her real?) name once?
Then she pops up in the afternoon, wonder if breakfast was voice tracked.
Ya man Gerry Healy is pretty good, dunno where he's gone.
the morning presenter earlier with a strong Dublin accent was called Vicky Martin from what I could make out. She has been on the last couple weekends.

She is apparently from Stillorgan, I would describe her accent as quite neutral.
The playlist has become too repetitive. I am sick of hearing Sweet Disposition, The Great Defector, In My Place, The Scientist, Maybe Tomorrow, Handbags and Gladrags. Surely the beauty of not being constrained by the current charts, is that you have decades of back catalogues to keep the music more varied.
Also, I get that they have to keep a reasonably wide appeal for financial reasons, but would it kill to play some Placebo or Smashing Pumpkins?
Wonder if the repetition is down to ya man Clint taking over as PD? Assume Colin has no input on Nova now.
How much of the station is voice tracked? They seem to have a lot more live content that Classic Hits these days?
3 liitle birds, whats the appeal? Its played constantly.
Do they ever play the Rod Stewart version of H&G? The Stereophonics version seems to be more commonplace on the radio.
A peek at Clint's LinkedIn tells me that he used to be a... showbiz and entertainment reporter, back in Australia.
I say that since Tom left the band after domestic abuse allegations came out, the radio station would only want to be playing songs from Serge. Agree though that they have better Tom-less songs though, even on the newer Tom-free album there’s plenty of choice.
They were unreal in the Olympia a few months back.
Doubt it's that, Sergio wrote almost everything since the start.
but Tom’s singing on most of the older songs / bigger hits so that could be why they are avoiding them.
At the end of the day I wouldn’t be a fan of the Nova general playlist for the most part so happy to hear Kasabian on the radio, even if it’s not their best work
I was amazed to hear a Dermot Kennedy song on nova earlier, didn't think he fit the nova profile
I thought there was radio station interference (happens in an area near me, another station will cut in on the car radio over nova)
Same thing happened me last night. I think they've changed the playlist recently, this has no place on it in my opinion.
Nice to have a few days without the f*ckin New Radicals, mind you.
They're drifting into that territory more and more.
Theres enough radio stations playing that type of boring modern pap, if Nova wants to become another 104 or 98fm they won't last long.
In My Place
Funny. I'm listening to Nova at the moment, came across your post at random and In My Place was on the radio. 😁
It's nothing new I'm afraid, I've heard Gavin James' "Hearts on Fire" on the station as well.
I thought the same re Dermot Kennedy over the past week - this has no place on Nova, but then neither should Coldplay imo. At least he's Irish, so I'm willing to forgive a little more.
Just heard George Ezra, so switched off.
No. It's always the Stereophonics. As bland mainstream as it gets.
if i had my way, half the play list would be culled, but then they'd lose listeners and I'd be culled 😄
+1 on Coldplay. There's absolutely no need for that sort of thing.
I'm not sure why Nova listeners are complaining - just tune out and forget that it exists, there are countless other "Rock" stations available.
Planet Rock is the go to station for rock fans!
where rock lives
Are there any Irish rock radio stations though, or would they be digital / online ones?
Your best bet is Zenith Classic Rock.
I think she's the Stevie Nicks tribute act.
Anyone hear the clue they gave at 7.30am for the what's the sound game.
He still does that sort of thing in Europe for some Australian stations too I think.
Yesterday was ‘hung’ today was ‘shelved’ or ‘shelf’ - @hold my beer
