    I agree with you I don't get it . I find her really easy to listen to

    I suspect a reason why people don't like her is because she is good looking and has a husband with a media profile.

    I can listen to her, and sometimes enjoy the show but I just feel she doesn't connect with listeners...seems sort of stiff on the air at times and lack of a flow to her in links. Figures for the show are not good and that will most likely be the decider, they seem to be giving her a big push the last month so we shall see.

    I obviously can't speak for everybody, but, your reasoning is way off the mark with me. Ridiculously so.

    I do not think she's a particularly good looking woman. I'm certainly not going to say she's unattractive, but wouldn't be for me. However that is a totally moot point. The level of attractiveness of a radio host doesn't matter a jot. Are you suggesting that people are happier to listen to somebody who "has a face for radio"?

    I dislike her because her presenting skills are sub-standard.

    I'd generally bounce between her show and Moncrieff from 3 to 4.30 (depending on what's on Moncrieff) cos of the music she plays. I don't find her presenting that off-putting and she doesn't go out of her way to make a joke every time she opens her mouth, unlike three other presenters on the same station. Today FM probably need a female presenter on day-time and IMO Louise is better than the girl who does early morning (name escapes me) and Alison Curtis, who has morphed into a female Ray D'Arcy with all the kids talk on her show.

    Actually quite like her on The Seven O'Clock Show, think she comes across better on TV than radio.

    She has a sexy voice but that's about all she has going for her.

    Not many talented women on the today fm these days is there? Paula "Forever Young" McSweeney. When is she ever going to grow up?

    Christ did anyone have the displeasure of tuning into her birthday show last Saturday?

    I caught 5 minutes while my hands were too dirty to change the dial and it was basically her asking kids,

    "what's your name". "do you have any brothers or sisters". "they're lovely names" "so how old are you". "when's your birthday" "did you get your face painted"

    Oh my good god I nearly put my finger through the button trying to get over to Fanning!

    Are the promos for the show meant to let you know what you missed out on. if it is well I am not missing out on too much. this week one has been about asking siri things and the second was about Vicks vapor rub.

    I tried, I really tried to listen to her show last week but it just not Today FM material. It really needs a proper radio person like Rick O Shea. I don't know why they won't take the plunge and sign him.

    I agree, I rarely make it to the 3 o clock news on her show

    Listenership figures are out usually at the start of May right? So I'm guessing that means May 6th...how will Today FM react if there is another bad book, last book only Dempsey was solid and actually gained, the rest were down. Can they persevere with Louise Duffy if she drops again, below the current 94,000 listeners???

    I wonder are her poor figures down to people turning off Dermot & Dave and just forget to switch back over?

    The lead in could play a part with the lunchtime slot being down 30,000+ listeners since its heyday, but Duffy still manages to drop around 27,000 listeners from D&D.

    A lot of whom probably switch over to Darcy. Infuriatingly bad as he is he does have a following. Which is a pretty bad reflection on us as a nation.

    Would you listen to Darcy if you like D&D tho...I wouldn't think so but who knows...

    He is wasted only being on at weekends now and would do great in that slot.

    Yeah completely agree, terrible figures, if they drop much more you would think they would have to make a change...

    Really not good enough...D&D lost listeners too, so did everyone on TodayFM weekdays besides Cooper and Fergal Darcy.
