Today FM Megathread Mod warning post #1 / #1401

Roe is really just a broken AI. Great craic all the same. You know when shes on 95% of the vocab she will use just the only question is the order she'll use. Always satisfying when you predict it perfectly.

Question about the beloved Cash Machine. Is there any way to check our entries, how often we've attempted it, etc? My guess is no, and my next guess is that it will come out as some thing that will have to happen in the interests of transparency and what have you.

I entered last week. There was no winner so it's rolled over. I went to enter a second time (and the second time always comes with a third time included free). Now, I accidentally managed to submit WIN twice today, but it was only the second text I got that told me I had three for the price of two; it should have been the first text today. Sorry if that's confusing.

Is he? I thought he was talking as he normally does

They really need to put Dee Reddy and John Caddel out to pasture. Especially when they zhave the likes of Ed Smith, Claire Beck and Dave Hanrahty ato replace them.

Find their forced banter incredibly cringey

Dee Reddy and John Caddell are regular contributors to The Last Word on music items. Both were presenters with Phantom/TXFM. John had been the PD of TX FM and went back to the pirate days of Phantom. John is currently listed on Linkedin as Assistant Managing Editor of Today FM. Incidentally, Claire Beck also came from TX FM (but not Phantom). She was with Spin1038 before TX FM.

I never heard of Dave Hanratty before.

Doesn't Caddell decide what music is played on TodayFM?

They are doing something strange at the start of the news also.

At first I thought it was skipping to the middle of the bulletin but it seems he is reading out a headline before he starts.

More stupid nonsense with Today FM's sports news. Turned on the radio at 9 pm to be told that Shamrock Rovers were leading Larne 3-1 (the match started at 5.45 and had already finished 4-1) and that Man Utd's game against Fenerbahce was starting at 8. Christ.
