Tune into DCUfm today at 5 o'clock. You can win a bottle of wine!!!!!!!!!

Are you allowed offer alcohol as prizes on campus?

phasers · 05-05-2010 09:28PM

Wine? These are college students!

Also one bottle? Honestly...

Daysha · 05-05-2010 09:44PM

Don't worry that was all double-checked through the appropriate channels, there was no problem with it

Did you people make that bottle of wine yourselves?

If not I will have nothing to do with you and am appalled.

Right Robert, I don't know what the hell you're on about but if you are appalled by shameless attempts to get people to listen then us at DCUfm are glad you want nothing to do with us.

We would offer a six pack of Dutch Gold but that would involve spending money. The wine was free, so why not?!

My response was also quite sarcastic.

Anyway, the OP (a person I know) created this thread to criticise the hell out of DCUfm and all he has done is caused more attention to be directed at DCUfm.

Oh trolls, when will ye learn?

I agree.
If the prize were a six pack of dutch gold I would be slightly interested, sadly it's wine

Benny Lava · 06-05-2010 03:32PM

Tune into today at 5. There won't be a six pack of Dutch Gold on offer, but you will get to hear a two hour World Cup special of Action Replay featuring interviews with Jimmy Magee, George Hamilton and Stephen Alkin.

Let the belittling of the guests by trolls commence.

phasers · 06-05-2010 04:56PM

Well I've never heard of them, but I know feck all about sport so for all I know they could be the leading sport...ists in the country.

I refuse to tune in until you do a Dutch Gold competition.

Well, we're done for this academic year but the Dutch Gold competition will be top of the agenda next October.

Pity I missed it, is it available to listen to anywhere?

It will be in a week or two. I have both Tuesdays and Wednesdays show recorded but I'm not going to get a chance to upload them to our podcast until the next time I'm home from college.

Having listened to a number of DCUfm shows, one must remark on the low level of broadcasting capabilities.
It appears the mojority of presenters are in-ept in the skills required to interview another of the human race.
While i do accept, they are only students, I see this as a radio statuion drawn up on the back of a cigarrete box.
Why don't presenters have to complete a certain level of training before they throw them a microphone?

Mr. Milosevic (I could just as easily call you by your real name but I won't) you are more than welcome to present a show next year if you believe you can improve the standard of DCUfm.

Ok turns out we've managed to get our podcasts uploaded far quicker than I thought! All the interviews during our 2 shows this week can be found here, GAA guests at the top, soccer guests underneath.

Don't mind him Benny, he was banned for trolling

Benny Lava · 31-07-2010 10:12PM

I find it depressing that DCU has a "School of Communications" and its college radio station isn't even on the radio.

Cork Campus Radio: 97.4 FM (UCC)
Flirt FM: 101.3 (NUIG)
Wired FM: 96.8 FM (UL)
Trinity FM: 97.3 FM (Trinity, obviously)

None of these Universities have as many media-related courses as DCU, yet they have all managed to make their way onto the old FM. There could well be others as well, but I think the list is daunting enough as it is. The awards season has shown that there is quality in the broadcasting on DCUfm but the fact that it's still a stream-only station sort of makes a mockery of "Ireland's Best College Radio Station".

The reason why this has happened was already discussed at the start of the thread.

Those two are on temporary licences from the BAI, so only operate for a week or two per year.

HI

Slobodan Milosevic · 10-08-2010 05:56PM

No need to be so argumentive Daysha, maybe the stress of this semi-final with Tipp is getting to ya. BTW any chance of getting me back on the aul-GAA forum?

On the issue of DCUfm, I think the station is fantastic. Theres nothing I like better after a hard days lectures then to listen to the homies on the wireless.
I'd like to congratulate them on the successful year and wish them continued success for the forthcoming year.

Benny, you seem very intersested in the development of this wireless station. Is there any reason for that now?

Phasers, hows all in hell? Hitler behaving himself down there yeh

SLOBO

I'm just a little frustrated about the problems that have prevented this station from making it onto the radio. I'm not trying to criticise the presenters or anything but I just would find it embarrassing to admit to people that I have featured on a "radio" station that isn't even on the radio.

Not bad slobo, You wouldn't believe how close to the mark South Park is about this place
