Doireann's gone

Your probably right but I do occasionally tune in to hear the 2 Johnnie's, mainly for the culchie accents.

The BBC gave Allison Spittle a podcast too so they are gone waaaaayyyy passed being the broadcaster that sets the standards any more 🤣

Years ago I was stop on Abbey street by a market research person with a set of photographs and she was asking me if I knew who they were.

I have often though about doing similar research with these so called famous people. I really only know them because I take an interest in the media, outside of this I wonder if anyone is aware of them.

No need to be so snooty yerself, I'm only offering my perspective, albeit one definitely not from their target audience. In truth I switch back to Morning Ireland as soon as a drop em off, but like someone else above says, I do think that having 3 highly paid presenters on the morning show (especially 3 of the NK stable) is a bit of an overkill. I appreciate this also feeds into the wider debate on whether 2fm is actually commercially viable or constitutes public service broadcasting anymore or whether it should be sold off/privatised. It's a hugely different commercial and listenership dynamic to the era of pirates that brought about the introduction of Radio 2 in the first place back in 1979.

Which in fairness you had totally explained in your initial post Bobson just does get that you can have a view on many things at one time and that you might consider putting such views on an opinion board. If it was up to Bobson view unless good should be ban or you should stick to "If you have nothing nice to say, then say nothing".

RTE gave her a sitcom. They didn't renew it. Wonder why?

If I remember correctly George Hook introduced her to the Irish public for the first time on his show.

We have George to thank for Alison and Ciara Kelly.

Bobson, you know me so well.

Great to see you spreading your wings from the Toyman thread. No everyone can see your contrarian (is it trolling, is it not) posts. Where you attack posters views and never comment on the content of the shows.

You are in for a treat people. It is gonna be like 4 chan light in here soon.

I think they mean pretending that you don't know who people are when you clearly know who they are and are a huge fan of theres. Just be honest. It's okay that Doireann's better looking sister let you down.

But seriously your right RTÉ has no idea what 2FM is there to do. From 1979 TO 2011 2FM was self-suffienct, since 2011 RTÉ continue to pump money into the station because as Moya Doherty puts it "it would kill the broadcaster and sever links with the youth audience".

And back to being my less serious self

Is Moya Doherty the bestest in the worldest!

Sssh don't ruin the magic for the kids.

Maybe you are, maybe you are not. I don't know and that is not my concern. I am not the 2FM demo but I am fan of radio and have been for a long time so when I saw the thread title I clicked in to have a look.

But you went to the effort to be on the home page then Topics - Entertainment - Radio and click on the thread and asked the question "Who's this Doireann one" which I think you know exactly who she is based on your opinion of 2FM.

Love that sass.
