Will anyone actually switch stations because of strawberry alarm clock?

I am switching too!

I wasn't able to listen to them on 104 since I moved away from Dublin, so am looking forward to being able to hear Colm and Jim-Jim on the radio again... so it's a Yes from me.

I never really listende to the radio other than FM104 in the mornings. Strawberry Alarm clock was very funny - Mat Molloy and Gavin used to crack me up. 2fm i hope let them do what they do best

Maybe you should add a third option to the poll?

One that says "I'll be changing to another station"

The muppets they have on the strawberry now are truly awful and I dont think the lads are going to make it work on 2fm, they certainly arent worth chasing across the airwaves imo.

i was wondering when someone from the elite would join the conversation. go on, tell us to switch to newstalk's absolutely horrendous morning programming. go on, do it. you know you want to

You missed the point

I made that statement as they arent any good so why would I bother me arse listening to them on 2fm when I never listened to them in the first place

Let me stick in my tuppence worth. I'm with Sizzler on this. I should add that I am probably older than the upper end of the target group for the Strawberries and, presumably 2FM by extension.

I never could take more than 5 or 10 minutes of that kind of radio in the morning. Incidentally, Colm Hayes used to be great doing his 2-hander thing with Bob Gallicoe on Radio Nova in the 80s. Maybe you have to be of a particular age to appreciate this kind of radio.

Anyway, for me these days it is a mixture of DCAL's Live-Drive, Sinister Pete on Phantom FM, a bit of Newstalk with Ger and Clare and very occasionally a bit of Ian Dempsey on Today FM... oh, and the odd cd track! Its a wonder, with all that knob-turning, that I don't contribute to the traffic chaos reported on Live-Drive!

My point is that Strawberry Alarm Clock is unlikely to sway a no. of people in their listening habits, including many Dublin listeners, who, as you can see, have more variety in licensed stations than ever these days.

BTW, I think it was a clever move by 2FM and they could indeed get a lot of people to switch from FM104. Ok, I might tune in March out of curiosity, if I remember!...

I'll be changing if the format remains the same..
The last few mornings I've tried listening to the other options, but each time resorted to throwing on my mp3 player instead..
I have to say I preferred Colm, Justin & Joan over the current format and usually tended to turn off when Colm wasn't on it recently as Jim Jim is boring on his own, but its definitely the best morning show around! Can't believe we've to wait that long though - a month & a half of tripe...
