Tommy Mescal will no doubt get to anchor the 9 o clock news over Xmas.
Louise Duffy checking out for the last couple of days, Michael Cahill getting the call up. And a newish lad, Aaron McElroy, with a rare outing on the news on Drivetime. He's a multi-media journalist from Monaghan.
They have Michael Cahill on covering for Louise Duffy. Does he have a fully time job elsewhere, when not doing his normal few hours each Sunday on Gold?
Yes N …Lookit we all know nothing happens that is news worthy over the ‘Holiday Period’
All the recordings have been done …. Even a cyclone in the Phillippines of epic destruction couldn’t wake them up.
Big run on the Hot Toddy’s over in Goggins I’m reliably told..
All the big hitters will be getting their fortnight off.
I hear John ‘I’ll put the words into your mouth”’Cooke is on Drivetime today.
Looks like the Guffaw King and McInerney gone to ground early.
And they are off…
Its that time again……Goggins of Monkstown should be in full flow over the weekend.
Will Joe Jackson make a return… will The Carman make an appearance on Stephens day.
who will be most unheard of dude to show up while the talent rest up.
Will the tape recorders and the 'repeat machines' be in full flow up to mid January?
Will the owl eared denizens of this venerable thread unearth any future top earners from the back benches.
How is Derek getting on…. is he still on the big bucks ….. what is he doing now? ho ho hhho ho
Not a bad lad in fairness…..Meeeriam 250k for doing what?
RTE Radio 1 news bulletin reporting that the Ba'athist with The Grateful Dead has died, will there be three days of mourning in Iraq ?
Blackrock Road Bobby, not a muck savage from Wesht Cark.
The kind of gimp who pronounces ‘very’ as ‘vurry’.
Was that the dude with the Cork accent.
He must have been the same lad doing the What it Says in the Papers segment on Morning Ireland this morning, very nervous, settled down eventually

Who was that Losty
Great to see they gave a new young upcoming talent a chance on Late Date last night 🤔 Shame that he crashed the pips and news at midnight but hey it was first day nerves…..
there has been a right ragbag of stand-ins over the summer on both tv and radio.
It was funny seeing a rather bemused David McCullough been handed back to studio by some lad who just finished his media studies course.
Don't be expecting RTE staff to work a 5 day week. And it's a Friday 😞
where do all these stand ins disappear to when the stars decide to come back?
A lot of ‘never heard before’ newsreaders on the air.
They're probably at the launch of the autumn schedule.
The champagne will be flowing
The good times are back!
Met Éireanns direct line to Montrosia is coming up trumps today. The "stars" got a heads up on todays good weather.
Liveline
News at One
D'Arcy show
All have stand ins today.
They piled for a special news edition of the news at 8am.
No "It says in the papers" this morning. Holidays in full swing.
Lot of new voices springing up in Montrosia, Losty.
Seems a lot of the 'heavies' have taken off for the Summer.
The number of coinciding sporting events has also stretched the roster out a good bit.
I know that Dobbo has now left the building but are they short enough of hacks to sending Philip Boucher Hayes to Blighly for the UK election coverage, as what happened on Friday?
SATURDAY 29/06/2024 - no "What it says in the papers" and no reference to this either.
I've known crummy pirate radio stations with higher standards than RTE.
And, once again no "What it says in the papers" this morning!
Anyone any information about this?
No "What it says in the papers" this morning, and NO REFERENCE to this either from the continuity announcer.
This has happened on several occasions before. Not the standard you'd expect from the national broadcaster.
Good lad…admirable restraint…I say admirable restraint.
Ah now Brendan I've made it well aware here that I've a soft spot for Ronan, I'll not take the bait 😂
unlike his replacement, Ronan knew his music without relying on the internet. a proper music radio presenter sadly a dying breed.
The L O N G ads before 1pm 6 pm etc. they sound like a taunt.
