RTE Radio 1: The 9 O Clock Show hosted by Various Megathread

He brought up the “balance” stuff again this morning… must have taken a bit of flack from yesterdays offering and the listener reaction.

Show seems to have gone into serious overload of dudes plugging their gigs recently……. are a few strings being pulled one might wonder.

Uhmmmmm

He did a review of her first interview, basically saying she didn't say much, and then is accused of being a trump supporter. It's a very odd complaint from the texters, we are very sensitive about someone who clearly isn't a Trumper calling out a bad interview from Harris, on a radio station that few Americans are listening too.

I be wary that it wasn't very insightful and had largely been said before, and he wasn't all that funny.

So all the folk who texted in are wrong and Francie's take is the right one?

You see, if this was the first occasion this (not so)sly digging at Harris and the Dems went on it might go unnoticed, however it wasn't, he had form there , a bit here, a bit there, a bit in the middle.

I was in no way surprised so many folk texted in(and I wasn't one) Francie before you try to imply that I was as you usually do.

Thanks Stato…

Many years ago when I was doing a Master Degree I got to talking to Someone from The Panel. They said at the time when boards was talking about the show from a good point of view that the audience numbers were great, and then it turn but the numbers remained high. Then they stopped talking and the numbers began dropping.

I think this slot radio is slightly different and also I think back then there were more people using boards. I don't think the currently presenter has anything to really worry about unless the audience begin to switch off or over. Which I think according to the JNLRs its is unlikely.

It's likely a drop due to work. I wouldn't have though that anyone suggested he was a major turn off, I never got this impression.

Tubs didn't drive the audience on 2FM and I think Radio 1 just shows that many are just not changing the dial, not all but many. John Murray had similar audiences on Radio 1 when he was in that slot while Tubs audience on 2FM dived.

It took RTE five years to realise John Murray, while a good broadcaster, was a square peg in a round hole in that slot.

Callan will put his foot in it sometime in the future, I'd be pretty confident of that.

it took them 5 years to figure out their top paid presenter was getting under 200k listeners on 2FM, I am not sure they even thought about John

he’s part of their sports team at the weekend on Radio 1

But you do hate listen doc. You've moaned and cried about Callan for a couple of years now.

It's beautifully delicious he's doing better than your mate

According to the abominable doc phibes, he's doing great in his dreams. But it's slightly different in reality!

Everyone is entitled to holidays :)

In the past RTÉ radio presenters would be off between June and August, this changed with their holidays now spread across all 12 months, I think I counted at least a 40 to 50 day holiday period for RTÉ's top presenters.

No problems with that here tbh. It is the vacuous nature of his presentation style, he prattles on like Tubs did and I fade out. Reacting the same way as I did for last couple of years of Tubs tenure…spinning the dial.

Bit ‘high on his heels’ for this poster too.
