    Today it's with the sanctimonious Kieran Cuddihy. Oh the joy.

    MOD NOTE
    Updated 05/10/17

    Posts that fixate on the presenter's gender, or other aspects of their personal identity, are not welcome on this forum.

    Any user who continues to dwell on the presenter's gender, or who is seen to be gender-bashing more generally, will be carded or banned. In light of some recent posts, and the many, many warnings to date, the penalty will likely be a ban. In some cases, there may even be permanent bans handed out.

    Please continue to freely discuss the programme content and production quality, but keep it within the bounds of the charter, and this warning.

    Please report any posts that breach these rules

    I've just had to ban the last two posters above for ignoring the mod warning on not continue the discussion on the legal aspects of the thong issue (what Ciara discuss on the radio show is in scope for obvious reason); do us in the mod team a favour and don't make us have to repeat this action due to ignoring three mod warnings on the topic (with this being the fourth on thread warning in two days).

    Smug git alright. Someone texted him to say that everyone who objects to open borders is not a racist. His reply was that not all are racist just selfish.
    Wonder how many he put up?

    Where do NT get them from. He has Irish Times levels of sanctimoniousness.
    If this is meant to be an improvement to George?

    Another clone. Same opinions, same "outrage". Does nobody in there have a brain of their own.


  • Registered Users Posts: 77 ✭✭Five Green Bottles


    Kieran Cuddihy was pleasant and enjoyable today, ease of listening in comparison to the good Doctor Kelly. neither are a patch on George though, pity he's gone from the slot.

    I think Cuddihy IS a good presenter but my god he's been assimilated quickly..

    Its a business and he's a paid presenter, he will have to take the party line now and again, it was a refreshing break from Dr. Kelly who at best is a contributor and certainly not an anchor.

    Moderator Any more of this and this thread gets closed for good.

    Play nice or get gone.

    John Waters would be a great replacement for George. He'd have the new puritans up in arms.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,489 ✭✭✭Yamanoto


    Love if they got Michael Graham over now & again to guest host.

    Well I think they all maintain that they are not influenced by DOB being the owner. To be honest I think they are more influenced by what opinions are considered allowable by their journalistic peers rather than anything else. What I find really funny is that I have heard more than one NT presenter looking down their noses at "backward" North Korea many times, when the truth is there is probably more freedom of speech in North Korea than there is in NT.

    With regard to the new presenter, I'm still praying for Anton Savage. Can't believe he hasn't been snapped up by somebody.

    Would Sam Smith agree with you on not being influenced by DOB

    Anton is too much like cooper was 10-15 years ago, too safe too PC need Eamon Dumphy or someone of the pre PC brigade

    Yeats came back from 14 weeks in the US a whole new non controversial PC DOB lap dog both new shows almost unbearably falsely PC

    Yeah he certainly does seem to be on his best behaviour alright.

    Sam Smith? I guess he's just too good at goodbyes.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 1,480 ✭✭✭bloodless_coup


    I wish these two would shut up.


  • Registered Users Posts: 751 ✭✭✭quintana76

    Not surprised. A valid contender for burning at the stake of PC self-righteousness and conformity at NewsTalk.
    He may 'misbehave ' at his peril. Sad to say.

    So what you want is the person asking the questions to be the same person that trained whoever he is interviewing on how not to answer the questions he himself is asking?

    The good doctor seems to have turned the entire show over to medical related items - unlistenable to - and during one Ad break to day there were no less than three medical Ads back to back. Medical Porn. :mad:

    Well given the job his ma did with Gay Mitchell, I don't think we have too much to worry about.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 907 ✭✭✭foxtrot101

    But it's not just his Ma. Anton is Managing Director of The Communications Clinic. From his company bio..
    Anton has advised clients ranging from Cabinet Ministers, the CEO’s and Chairmen of some of Ireland’s largest PLC’s through to members of the Catholic Heirarchy and CEO’s of global charities.

    The conflicts of interest he would have presenting a current affairs show on Newstalk are pretty glaring.

    So I got the pleasure of listening to a bit of the show yesterday and today due to have to go to a dentist appointments. I only hear 20-30 mins. Like day and night Ciaran Cuddihy (I think it was him) felt natural was a bit of a laugh and seemed no pressure. Today with Ciara it felt like everything was business like and you be afraid to say the wrong thing due to Ciara giving out to you. While I am not a fan of his Ciaran should get it on what I heard


  • Registered Users Posts: 596 ✭✭✭Conservative


    I liked what I heard of Kieran also. I've long grown used to the lack of diverging opinions on Irish radio but he's a pretty competent presenter and the best of the younger lot they have.

    I'd probably listen if he got the show but it looks pretty unlikely at this stage.


  • Moderators, Entertainment Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 10,650 Mod ✭✭✭✭Say Your Number


    I liked Cuddihy yesterday, it was the first time in over a year I kept Newstalk on between 12 and 2, if they'd any sense he'd get that slot.

    Hopefully they'll show Williams the door soon and put this shock jock nonsense behind them.

    Agreed. I've been a fan of Cuddihy since he used to fill in for Chris/Ivan on Breakfast.

    There's a bit of divilment in him as well. I don't see why he hasn't already been given his own show. I don't know how they passed him over when recruiting for Breakfast.

    In fairness even George seemed left wing beside him


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,539 ✭✭✭ghostdancer


    haven't heard Cuddihy on this week, but have always liked him when he filled in on other shows. would be perfectly happy with him getting it. would prefer him to take over from Williams though.

    Not unless you want to be harangued about father's rights and the feminist movement etc for a few hours daily.
