Ok, let me quote dustin the turkey..."I sleep in every morning because my radio alarm is put to Marty Whelan.." ( or something like that). One word. Why?

Well I couldn't believe my ears on thursday morning,Marty palyed the Coral....I'm starting to think someone else is now choosing the music...if Marty continues to improve like this I may actually not convert to another radio station...:eek:

Marty is there in a vain attempt to boost listenership what what 2fm perceive as a sure thing i.e. they'll get listeners, just not in the demographic they might have preferred. Today FM took a risk with Ray D'Arcy and he's built up a following.

Ryan Tubridy, despite his cosy Montrose-ite, local-to-RTE existence since the age of 12, has to be (grudgingly) admired for taking a brand-new idea on 2fm and making it work against all odds.

Marty Whelan.....well, Marty needs to be put to sleep.

Marty Whelen is pretty bad but down here is Cork - Nick Richards is pretty dire.

2fm needs a purpose.

Disturbing. One radio presenter who makes Marty Whelan an appealing choice...

If you have the option of listening to Chris Moyles on Radio 1 but would rather listen to Marty Whelan, why don't you go the whole hog and listen to Wogan on Radio 2 if that suits you.

I think all posts should begin with the words "I think"

I also think there is a gap in the Irish radio market. JimmyK, you hit the nail right on the head - Marty is an Irish Terry Wogan, but he has no real place on 2FM. And Radio 1 is a bit of a joke these days, Morning Ireland begins at 7am!!!! Sure people are still commuting then but who sets their alarm as late as 7am these day? Maxi is also a talent but that show does not belong on a Radio 1 station in the 6-7am slot.

There is no "Radio 2" style station for the Martys and the Maxis of this island, so they are shoved into places they don't really belong. Marty had his home on Century, he was soo funny there with his co-presenter.

2fm Marty Whelan in the morning. Plonker.
