    I've switched to 2FM in the mornings and whilst they still talk a lot of waffle, its actually entertaining and I find myself having a few laughs.

    When I'm in the car and want to listen to music, I have to use the phone via aux.

    Covering Dee Woods' maternity leave apparently. Liam is covering her show and Lisa Gernon is covering Liam's show.

    Listened the first time this morning. Lot of waffle about celebrities, both presenters seem even move stilted than when they were on 2fm. They don't seem to get on there's no chemistry with them at all.

    Dont you mean pre-rehersed....:P

    pre-rehearsed


    When someone says something that they've already practiced several times, you can call their words "pre-rehearsed".


    We often use the phrase "pre-rehearsed" to complain that someone isn't speaking honestly or naturally. For example:


    The NEW Colm and lucy breakfast show..

    It's as if an alcoholic homeless guy lost the plot and is holding a Dublin mother hostage in a radio studio and she must appease his delusion or he'll murder her

    I used to refer others to Nova as being a good station if you liked music.
    Now I've stopped listening to Nova altogether.

    Hmm really not liking the 'new' direction NOva has gone. OK I could just about make it from the ad breaks (as the in-house ones are REALLY p!$$poor for the longest time... but have gotten a little better in the last few months) and the returning morning dribble of chat bot DJ's to know we had Greg coming up with a no waffle/perfect balance of quick music related fact and darn good tunes to make my working day better... hell even Marty was ok..

    BUT for the love of all that is good please get those two off the front end of the station and just go back to playing good tunes and no chat about Celebes's, kids or anything 'variety' related. For F$%k sake this is suppose to be a rock station not 2fm or 104!

    Interesting post this morning on their (Nova's) Facebook feed. They were promoting John Mayer's new single (the post also mentioned this train wreck of a show).

    John Mayer....seriously? It was Lily Allen yesterday....:confused::confused:

    I guess the rock format didn't work somehow.

    I heard a promo over the weekend where they now claim to be focussing on playing latest music. That doesn't fit with their "classic rock" remit.

    I guess they are moving towards a TXFM lite now, bridge the gap between full on pop and indie?

    I tuned in to Nova the other morning and thought I’d got the channel wrong when I heard these two muppets.

    I don’t want to hear about your ****ing child never mind actually hearing your ****ing child as the voice of a stupid competition!!

    And I don’t want to hear celeb gossip and royal weddings.

    I want to hear good music presented by someone who actually cares about said music.

    The two lads Marty and Conor before were ok’ish. I could just about tolerate them. Although their over the top enthusiasm for life was a bit much in particular Marty. Always felt Conor was just going along with it.

    Dee Woods is just woeful. Get her off the radio someone for the love of god.

    Pat Courtney I’d take back in a heart beat but I’d imagine he’s done with early slots and I can’t blame him.

    Just get someone in that’s like Courtney. I don’t mean a copy cat but someone who loves music like he does so it doesn’t feel contrived.

    The whole idea of Radio Nova was to be different. Be about the music.

    The new morning show is a crock. Rubbish music and absolute banal conversation. Bring back anyone else. Axe the presenters and just play music. Nova can consider themselves fortunate phantom are gone, or they'd be losing all their listeners. They must be haemhorraging their regular listeners in the morning. I really do not want to hear celebrity gossip. If I had any interest, I'd be listening to a station that advertises that sort of rubbish.

    Liam Quigley on this morning. Less chat, more music. And better music than those 2.

    Why can't this be the morning show?

    He just read the newspaper headlines rather than talking about babies and the British Royal family.
