Worst Radio station in Free Europe?

EarlERizer · 17-09-2011 04:27AM #1

Am I just an old fart or has radio gone sh1t?

I have to endure 8.5 hours of utter crap on FM104 Mon - Fri at work ,the same few songs everyday some as much as 5-6 times a day. From the station that proclaims "you never know what your going to get" but we do,we all know we're going to get Lady Gaga,Bruno Marrs,Beyonce,Rihanna,Take that,The Coronas,The Script,Adele,Noel Galagher,One Republic,Justin Timberlake and Jedward, with the very rare but predictable Bob Marley,Queen,Phil Collins or Bruce Springstein (usually just after the "you never know what your going to get" jingle

Not to mention the 3 hours in the morning of having to listen to those two **** Jim Jim Nugent & Mark.

Anyone agree? or do you have a station you hate or prefer?

In before 'Dublin forum'.

Technically it belongs here because country people go ape for 2fm.
They are certainly the only ones that are allowed on air when they phone in.

Xpsgamer · 17-09-2011 04:39AM

Any of Our National Dublin Broadcasters (RTÉ) offerings

Xpsgamer · 17-09-2011 04:41AM

Also where the Atari Jaguar selection?

af_thefragile · 17-09-2011 04:48AM

Spin103 is the worst one for me. Cant stand most of the crap on it.

I quite like nova though they yend to play the same stuff over and over again and they talk too much. Also quite enjoy listening to lyric fm from time to time.

But mostly i just plug in my ipod...

who_ru · 17-09-2011 04:54AM

i'm afraid commercial music radio is so bad that only talk radio does it for me now, and i don't mean Joe Duffy. The lads on off the ball are good, some newstalk stuff is okay, but not tom dunne.

bnt · 17-09-2011 10:09AM

At least there's still the Classical station, Lyric FM. Though there are some Classical modes that turn me off, such as Opera. Why don't they sing normally, in English?

mike65 · 17-09-2011 10:13AM

Dublin stations for Dublin people in the Dublin forum! :mad:

I'd rather they just spoke the words instead of fancying it all up.:mad:

The radio blows.

Toby Take a Bow · 17-09-2011 10:24AM

All commercial radio stations play the same sh*te over and over. I remember many years ago, listening to PhantomFM when it was a pirate. Pretty good radio station. I can't listen to it (bar the Sunday morning show by Pearl) now as it's beyond awful since it got its license.

Hande hoche! · 17-09-2011 10:25AM

Damn spin south west. Can't stand them.

temply · 17-09-2011 10:28AM

fm104 alone for inflicting that jim jim twat upon me

You'll have to ask Bizet, Puccini and others that. I mean, why didn't they write their stupid operas in English?:pac:

No poll option for Trollstation (aka Newstalk).

That should read I listened to Phantom before it was ****. It's not a hipster thing to listen to an alternative radio station and expect alternative music, no?

Also, I'm confused that the thread is 'worst radio station in mayo' but the poll is 'worst radio station in Dublin'?

Smart arse - you can't receive FM104, NoVa, 98FM or Spin 103.8 in Mayo.

So your poll should read MWR, Castlebar Community Radio, Claremorris Community Radio, Westport Community Radio, i102-104, (Spin SW, Galway Bay FM, Shannonside, 4FM, Ocean FM - some parts) ,as well as the Nationals Today FM, Radio1, Lyric FM, 2FM and Newstalk

He changed it after I called him a pleb for having a poll with 4 Dublin only stations and 1 national station. I stand by my original comment. :P

Radio is for losers who need to be told what to listen to, and enjoy inane conversation. "Please tell me what's cool this month Mr. DJ! God forbid I make my own musical choices. Is it another Rihanna & Script & Clo Green song? Yay! Please play them ad nauseum."

dsmythy · 17-09-2011 12:05PM

Radio sucks.

mikemac · 17-09-2011 12:05PM

Joe Duffy seems to think RTÉ is Dublin local radio

Too many Dublin topics on that show and he lists off streets like the rest of Ireland knows where they are

bigneacy · 17-09-2011 12:19PM

Worst Radio station in Cork?

Cork - None of the stations receivable except 2FM

C103, 96FM, RedFM, (Spin SW, Beat 102-103, WLR, Radio Kerry, KCLR in some parts) The nationals also - Today FM, Radio1, Lyric FM, 2FM, 4FM and Newstalk. You've also got the two religious stations here - Spirit FM and Life FM.

We could do this all day. You're still a pleb.

Worst Radio station in Waterford?

:rolleyes:
