150KTubs - future career in Virgin Radio and other soulful pursuits **Mod: Read OP**

So a staff member was shouting abuse and their supervisor moved them to a different role, let me guess they got the job to control the lights.

Ah would you stop the junk talk.

I have 209 reliable sources that Elvis was in Croke Park at the weekend (upper cusack), does that mean I am telling the truth?

….

Ever decreasing circles.

So YouTube figures since the last episode was dropped are not really holding up. It would be interesting to see figures for other platforms, if they are similar to these.

Since Irvine Welsh's ep just 1,231 - 2,000 views have been received over the course of the week for all episodes.

It seems to me you need a guest to be that "RTÉ Guide" front cover, and in Andrea Corr they got that cover.

Corr's episode debut on June 24 and now has 3,200 making her the second most watched episode.

Walliam's episode was significant for it being the first and people rush to see it, he now has 4,900 views, but this only 400 more than what he had when Corr debuted.

The more internationally perceived guest have bombed Cox (1200), Horiwitz (860) and Welsh (450).

The rest are a mixed bag, Garrihy debut's well due to her exit from 2FM that week at 1300 but only picking up 400 views since bring her to 1700.

Even considering Corr's performance these aren't great figures.

If we assume that these figures are replicated across the main podcast networks (Apple and Spotify) and they get similar numbers in total across all other platforms, the total view/listens to date would be around the 100k mark so far.

I can't compare and I can only guess the numbers on other platforms, but to me this isn't a great place to be.

I might have a listen to the Irvine Welsh episode.

Peppa Pig doesn’t long to read

I thought he’d be given them free he is such a big force in the international broadcasting & media world as he says on his website.

to think that RTE were at one stage paying 500+k for that type of nonsense, and 9 months ago pay 250k, shows how out of touch they were/still are.

With Duffy running liveline like his private fiefdom, Darcy waffling on and on, shows RTE don’t have an quality control

I can see it now 😁

Don't forget "How old are you?".

He saves that one for the ladies.

I'd love to, but that would count as a download and I'm not giving him that

I did add to the YT count and gave it thumbs down.

Yet you hate-follow this thread?

I have never see you express a real view, like do you think Dee Forbes did a good job? and shouldn't your anger at Tub's loosing his job be directed at her and Moya Doherty? What are are opinions of RTÉ Management over the years? Good, bad are are you indifferent to them, instead insisting that other put up and shut up?

I don’t read or watch any of his fare apart from some inquisitive listens early on to confirm what I already knew (he’s useless), but I still thoroughly enjoy this thread. I don’t watch any soaps on TV (or any TV for that matter apart from some live sports), but Tubridy’s downfall, and the pathetic depths he’s been forced to limbo himself down to in the most excruciatingly cringy ways possible to attempt to stay relevant is my soap, it’s my Eastenders and Fair City….. And just with the soaps, I know they exist, yet have no care to watch them because I know they are sh1t. Similar to Tubridy. So knowing his downfall is well and truly under way, I have no care to watch it, but I greatly enjoy the fact it’s happening, because I simply don’t like the man.

I’m not bitter towards him and would never wish him ill health, but I just think he’s a Grade A, USDA certified, Limited Edition Ar$ehǒle.

nobody gives a damn what your carrier bag says if you walk around London. It’s pretty cheap looking so maybe that’s why he got the looks in what is a Waitrose part of town

He's trying to copy Matt Damon with the SuperValu bag. He thinks it will go viral and become a massive hit across the UK and Ireland.

And we should ignore Dee Forbes time at RTÉ, she did after all cause Ryan to leave RTÉ in the end.

His show and content presentation is so out of kilter with what Virgin Radio UK is supposedly trying to target or appeal to. Most of their listeners are not really interested in some British author, btw this is no reflection on her, they have simply selected the radio station for music, hence will tune out if the music output turns to waffle. Brute forcing Ryan Tubridy onto their mid-morning schedule was a bad decision by NewsUK CEO. It makes no sense for an experienced radio PD to dollop a pseudo music/chat show - post breakfast with an unknown and unproven (in the UK) presenter onto a formatted music radio station and it is evident that they are trying to recover listeners by introducing a dedicated 80's hour immediately following his slot.

Irrespective of whether folks are interested in books or not, Virgin Radio UK's core listeners are not tuning into the radio station for this.

Furthermore, Tubridy is really not interested in winning over the UK listener. He has not altered his presentation or displayed any compatibility, resulting with some of their listeners having difficulty understanding or not being able to follow what he is saying.

Going around St Johns Wood with a SuperValu bag and posting images on Instagram from last week gives the impression that he really misses home. I would think the novelty of London has well worn off at this point, he doesn't want to be there and Virgin Radio UK listeners really couldn't care less about him. The Paddy Power sponsorship is his safety net but even they will not continue to flog a dead horse, pardon the pun.

He mustn't have looked at any signs on the island.

Inishbofin aka Inisbofin is one word. It's not separated like Inis Meann or Inis Oirr on the Aran Islands.

The Bofin is a beautiful part of the world. Some place to kick back and relax for a few days. Great pubs, great music, great food, stunning beaches, great walks, lovely locals. A place to put down the phone for a few days and enjoy a simpler life. Looks like he got the weather as well, which makes a huge difference.

Posting a happy update from the Bofin would seem like a very standard thing to do. Not sure it’s hiding anything. Strange theory tbh.

I wish Dee Forbes would post some pictures of her West Cork base, I'd say she hiding away, not much from GoL or Coveney either.

I can't tell of the Rose comment is real or not.
