    The lunchtime slot hasn't had a stable host since 2016.

    Laura Fox has signed off today from the mid-morning show, but just to think since Jerry Ryan has anything of note happened on any of the shows that succeeded him? Have any of the hosts made any kind of impact, not just to audience but in general.

    In the end they were just greedy, they all knew one another and knew what to expect more money for no return, it was a secure cash flow, but in fairness they looked for what they wanted and fair dues to them for that, and wouldn't you be doing the same!

    Just one more thing .... when did they return that car

    He didn't have the late morning slot in 2fm, only radio 1.

    This too shall pass.

    Tracy finished today too.

    I'll miss her show.

    Tubridy eventually took over the 2FM mid morning slot when gerry ryan died (after colm and lucy filled in).

    His 2 stints on 2FM were 2002 - 2005 (breakfast) and 2010 - 2015 (mid morning)

    I'm probably in a tiny minority, but i really liked Tubridy when he was on 2fm.

    Breakfast or Mid-morning?

    I have always said the full Irish was a good breakfast show, and they probably should have kept him there.

    Louise Cantillon on Today FM, Barry Dunne on 98fm, Tara Murray on Fm104, Marty Millar, Dee Woods on Nova, Trína Mara, Damian Farrelly on Classic Hits. Take your pick

    This too shall pass.

    I got in the car this morning 6:15ish and didn’t look to see what channel was on. Songs playing so grand. Then it was replaying something from Fridays show which they said it was. Then more music after that was done. I was out of the car before they came back but it was all filler for 15 minutes which I can’t complain but first day and can’t even do a show without filling it in



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,202 ✭✭✭iseegirls


    Not sure about the logic of having a co-presenter with Laura Fox. She's been on her own for the last 5 or so years.

    So I listened back to the breakfast show yesterday and today and first hour stinks of prerecorded



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,272 ✭✭✭patrickc


    Anyone any thoughts on the new shows?

    Have tuned in and out this week.

    Doireann I think she's trying to be g Ryan type of host.

    demi and Mike rinse and repeatedly of drive time.. 12-1 today was like Tracey's cliff bangers that was grand.

    Having heard much of drive time bar music on it

    I have heard the breakfast show and the early afternoon show and, IMO, I thought they were poor.

    The breakfast show comes across as DESPERATELY trying to be funny and be the "craic" and having "banter" or is it "bants"? Not a fan.

    The early afternoon show was terrible. The content is awful and childlike. Again, it comes across as trying so hard, which I do understand as the presenters want to do their best and be successful but it's not working, again IMO.

    I think we could see ANOTHER schedule shake up in 12 months or less.

    I also feel sorry for some of the presenters. They've been put in roles that don't suit them / or are too big for them. What are 2fm thinking? Who are they targeting? What demographic?

    It's like a mix of a student radio station where some people are learning on the job and "Sure we'll throw someone in with a bit of a profile to see if that gains some traction. Radio experience? Nooooo. Sure that's not needed"

    The state broadcasters No. 2 channel with some of the best most polished hosts in years gone by, and now this is the best that they can come up with?

    I'm sure Patricia Monahan has a plan to get another of her auld mates from Bauer into a key role as soon as Comical Ali retires.

    Expect it to sound like something Bauer runs already.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,120 ✭✭✭Trampas


    My one day in the car for work and thought I’d see if breakfast show was still prerecorded and it was. Even a bad mistake was they went on yesterday’s show. What’s the point on saying 6-10 if first hour is just prerecorded



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,064 ✭✭✭✭greenspurs


    And they have ruined the A → Z quiz...

    Questions that take about 4-5 secs for karl to splutter out...
