Local Radio

[Deleted User]

I made the title of the thread "Local Radio" because the last thread title had the name of our local radio station.I find it a pity that the thread was closed because of some bad comments.I read the radio section section a lot,and find Mega Threads on dedicated to many presenters,the like of Joe Duffy,Marty Whelan,Ray Darcy,Ryan Tubridy etc.The criticism they get,can at times be very very harsh.Those threads are allowed continue.I find the Radio forum mainly caters for the bigger stations,and those in Dublin,which makes sense because of population.I am in Tipperary,and would like to comment on what I listen to,and not have that option,because some posters are harsh,I cant.I hope this post is not deleted or closed,and would get some replies as to how others think.I aint looking to be banned either:D

Good coverage on Tipp FM on the local election count from what I can see. Can't understand the speed with which people are on to knock the station. Are there ex presenters with an axe to grind posting here by any chance or am I just paranoid :-)

Then that makes 2 of us, such a shame if that is so, life is for living not for knocking the people trying to live it!!!!!!

That's it unfortunately in Ireland there are a lot of people who won't do anything themselves but can't wait to knock the attempts of others. Hurlers on the ditch is the term for them I believe.

Thanks for all the welcomes folks

I was waiting for the tipp-cashel result last night, and it went on and on at the count centre.

Tipp FM were broadcasting until the last count came in at 3:30am.

So to be fair, great coverage of the local elections from TippFM.

I had the radio on in the leaba, so missed some of it as i was snoozing in and out, but from the parts I heard, great discussion and reporting.

Well done Tipp FM:

when i wrote there was no coverage there wasn't and i stand over what i said there should be local news at 11 and 12. i have never been involved with tipp fm or any radio

I think the election count did not start until 1pm, so it would be tally counts up until then ?

I was listening until after 3 on Sunday morning. Seamus Martin and some lad in studio stayed with it all night. BTW I think I heard one of them doing a football commentary today. Not much sleep there.

I didn't know he had finished up his internet station,but there was no way he was getting the amount of listeners that was mentioned here.If he was,he would still be broadcasting.

What a shame the internet station has closed . Where will the 4 people go now for entertainment in the mornings ?

JNLR results wave 2 for 2014 are due out this Thursday at lunchtime,so we should know how they are doing then!

Radioshed

Listened to yesterday down again from a one time high of 56% to 34% (-2%) and Market share down again to 42.1% (-6.9%)
The Denis O Sullivan and Norman Morrissey effect is being felt i would imagine.

thats not what they say http://tippfm.com/news/news_detail/tipp_fm_remains_top_of_your_dial

johnplayer

The press release is all true but there's a huge huge fall in share which is the most worrying . There has been a massive fall out year on year . The changes made by ClareFM are starting to be felt . Unless they address the haemorrhage they could see another 6.9 share drop this time next year and then the **** will really hit the fan .

Radioshed

That would be correct, in fact more like 44,000 and the most listened to in the county, as are all the other stations in their own respected areas, say for example if you live in Galway most people in Galway are going to listen to their own radio station as are the listeners in Wexford. Worrying drop from when that figure was more like 60,000 plus. Hope they can stop the rot, cos in 2 more surveys they could easily be in the high 20s and that would be disastrous IMO

DT100

That "On your wavelength" sounds so dated....The station really needs a big overhaul,starting with the imaging.What happens if they keep going down? Will county Clare get bigger? They just don't seem to have strong enough presenters.They promo the crap out of everything...
