What radio station do you listen to?

neil_hosey · 21-01-2010 10:29AM #1

Well.

On your way to work in the morning whether it be by car or bus.

I actually cant stand them 2 muppets jim and niamh on fm104. That niamh ones laugh does my bleeding head in! :mad: SHUT THE FVCK UP LAUGHING AT YOUR OWN JOKES..

Ive started listening to spin 103.8 which is fairly decent, my radio is banjoed so can only manually tune in stations so im looking for what AH listen to???

edit: POLL FAIL

MaybeLogic · 21-01-2010 10:38AM

If any ,I listen to Lyric FM.
Not on the poll,so I gave my vote to the boys over at AtariJaguar FM.

iregk · 21-01-2010 10:40AM

I assume this is purely a Dublin only thread? Not even Today FM on it and you even got the station you listen to wrong in the poll. WTF!

In any case I listen to Eastcoast FM, on occasions newstalk.

NothingMan · 21-01-2010 10:43AM

On my iPod I get to choose all the music, and no eejits trying to be funny either.

BluesBerry · 21-01-2010 10:44AM

2fm Colm and jim jim morning
2fm Gerry Ryan Mid Morning

or today fm Ray Darcy (whoever has the most interesting topic on)
Phantom afternoon
radio 1 Sometimes Joe Duffy

back to phantom afternoon/evening
fm104 phoneshow night time

hidinginthebush · 21-01-2010 10:47AM

I listen to newstalk in the evenings for off the ball, apart from that, Atari Jaguar

xzanti · 21-01-2010 10:47AM

It's 'Spin 1038'

I alternate between Spin and 104, mainly cause they're the only frequencies I can pick up on my crappy car radio.. bar 2FM of course and those Colm & JimJim clowns go through me in the morning time.. I find the morning show on Spin quite entertaining.. I stopped listening for a while out of protest after Joe and Keith left but I begrudginly came round after a while..

extra-ordinary_ · 21-01-2010 10:49AM

Tuned in the car is

1 Spin 103.8
2 FM 104
3 98FM
4 Today FM
5 Q102
6 RTE 1

I go to RTE 1 first and if it's of no interest I start at Spin looking for some music.

Elmer Blooker · 21-01-2010 10:51AM

Spin....... not out of choice, my daughters listen to it.
Why does that 5 word weather forecast make me cringe?
At the moment yer man Tubridy.

theteal · 21-01-2010 10:51AM

Pure morning, phantom fm on the way to work. Then some off the ball, newstalk on the way home

Sanjuro · 21-01-2010 10:53AM

Your poll is missing some pretty major stations. Therefore, thread fail.

heebusjeebus · 21-01-2010 10:56AM

Newstalk in the morning,
Newstalk in the afternoon,
Newstalk in the evening.

Forest Master · 21-01-2010 10:59AM

I don't understand why people listen to the radio - 2 idiots babbling back & forth in D4 accents trying to be witty, terrible annoying ads, followed by even worse music. Why do you need someone to tell you what to listen to? "Please tell me what's cool at the moment, Mr. Radio Presenter." Even the OP says he hates it, yet feels like it's compulsory! WTF? That makes no sense.

Any time my wife puts it on in the car, it's either one of those 3 Rihanna songs that sound the same, Black Eyed Peas, which have to be the worst band in the world, Lady Gaga or Lily Allen... or whatever other fad happens to be in at the time.

IMO, people who listen to the radio have no interest in music. They're the same people who say "I like a little bit of everything" when asked what music they like, when they actually have no clue what "everything" is because all they know is chart music - i.e. the same 20 songs played over & over. Just because you think Nickelback is "rock" & sing along to that wretched 'Rock Star' song like a knob, doesn't mean you like a little bit of everything.

LOL - rant over.

sorrywhat · 21-01-2010 11:03AM

I dont live in Dublin give me some more choices to pick from.

OutlawPete · 21-01-2010 11:09AM

106.8 FM

I take my Outlaw status serious :cool:

slipss · 21-01-2010 11:09AM

Agreed, poll is awful.

Phantom 105.2 is pretty much the only station I'll listen to cause as Forest Master says the music on every other station is "3 Rihanna songs that sound the same, Black Eyed Peas, which have to be the worst band in the world, Lady Gaga or Lily Allen... or whatever other fad happens to be in at the time."

I'll ocassionally tune into Today FM for Ray Darcy in work, but never stick that long and the odd time I'll switch over to Newstalk if something in particular has happened and I want to get caught up. Other than that Phantom all the way, is the saving grace of Irish radio and the only reason I bother to own a radio when in this country.

Great minds kid.

RoadKillTs · 21-01-2010 11:12AM

I listen to Mid and North West radio. Mainly for the death and funeral notices.

Osgoodisgood · 21-01-2010 11:23AM

If the chislers are in the car it's Spin 1038.
On my own it's Phantom or the Ipod.

neil_hosey · 21-01-2010 11:23AM

I even agree! i dont know many stations .. and i know i made a mistake with spin, i know its an 8!

Anyhoo.. i want to know what stations to try out. Im gonna go with phantom i think on the way home

Gran Hermano · 21-01-2010 11:27AM

103.2 whilst driving around the city in rush hour, constant traffic updates and no ads. Otherwise Newstalk.

MaybeLogic · 21-01-2010 11:28AM

My favourite station of all time is tsfJAZZ from when I was living in Paris.
I normally have it streaming when I'm online.

(click on 'Ecouter TSF' on the left to listen)

ceegee · 21-01-2010 11:36AM

newstalk, especially in the evenings for off the ball. The only sports show thats as likely to go off on a funny tangent about some long forgotten mid 90s premiership flop as it is to update you on the latest scores.

KungPao · 21-01-2010 11:40AM

Depends on my mood. Maybe Emotion 98.3 or Wave 103.

Liam Byrne · 21-01-2010 12:14PM

Probably Today FM, or maybe 4FM, so I'm another that had to vote AtariJaguar

Unpossible · 21-01-2010 12:32PM

Newstalk except in the evenings or on weekends because I hate listening to sport programs.
Anyways I only listen to the radio if I'm driving.

joeybloggs · 21-01-2010 12:39PM

I would die a happy man listening to Phantom.

I really do wish it was national so we could save the fine people of Cork, Limerick, Galway etc. from listening to the **** on shuffle out there....

GirlatdRockShow · 22-01-2010 09:30PM

today fm isn't here!so i'll have to vote spin,purely for the ten hits in a row and dara quilty.:D

GLaDOS · 22-01-2010 09:33PM

Radio sucks

Notorious · 22-01-2010 09:34PM

If I have to listen to the radio - Lyric FM

Most of the others are terrible. Especially Phantom and Spin.
