What is the worst radio station in Ireland?

2FM

The bloody local stations down here in the south east, WLRFM, and KCLR.First one has a bunch of annoying clowns,self opinionated and not funny presenters the second practically talks flippin non stop about GAA.....:rolleyes:


Nationally, Newstalk needs to upgrade their transmitters down here instead of sending presenters here, there and everywhere.Bad reception.

Reception of Newstalk in Kilkenny should be ok on 107.2. That's Mt. Leinster and it's quite powerful. I can get that same transmitter here (when in the shadow of Slieve Mish on 107.2) and I'm 170km away from it

Well actually, anytime I do get it anyway clear on a radio, its on 107.6 and even then its at a lower volume to all the other stations.Of course I forget to turn it down when I change and I nearly blow my eardrums..:).Otherwise when I am out and about walking, I have to twist and turn to try and get a signal.Annoying if I want to hear an item on a show.

Fcuking GAA I hate it :mad: On c103 in Cork they have the two most annoying GAA presenters and commentators in Ireland. One of them talks with a lisp and gets overly excited when doing commentary on a match :mad: The other fella isn't much better annoying voice without the lisp.

Easy for me, iRadio hands down.

If that's the newsreaders you're on about they're Spin 1038 presenters, the news is networked from Dublin. I never noticed that about the regular presenters tho (they don't talk that much anyway).

The news is even worse especially when it comes to Sport. The poor ladies doing it pronounce a well known sporting name /team name incorrectly every single day.. cringe

107.6 is either Dungarvan or Maghera, both well away from Kilkenny. Surprising you can't get 107.4 from either Waterford city or Clonmel, you must live in a strange part of Kilkenny Do you get RTE R1 on 89.6 or what?

No its either 107.2/6.Not anything else.Radio 1 is clear on either 89.0 or 89.6.Probably better on the first.I am even on high ground.Another boardsie lives down the road from me,wonder has he better reception?

Yes. 100% agree.

I could just be getting too old. But can't stand them. That Fergal D'arcy goof BREATHES TOO HEAVY. Does my head in.

Too Americanised. Think they're hilarious.

I stopped listening to Today FM during the day for fear of accidentally hearing Ray Foley but found out yesterday that he's gone! Hooray!

Any station that doesn't call the news "The News";

"The low-down".
"The goss".
"The story".

It's the news, for Jaysus sake. The country is dumbed down enough without this muck. Just like TV3 calling their evening news "The 5.30".

The 5.30 what? The 5.30 oil change? The 5.30 window clean? The 5.30 muck out? The news, the news, it's the shaggin' news!

Seconded. Thank God my mother has a telly in the kitchen now and only switches to it for GAA.

The thing is, stations like that are only doing 'news' in any form because they're obliged to by the Broadcasting Authority, and I'm sure most of their listeners have no interest. These regulations should be binned and let radio stations do what is in their commercial interests.
