    they seem to be, at least if the facebook is anything to go by when a post is made in the night time by the show.



    it's the same for me. barely ever live. there is just no point IMO.
    the phone show can be an alternative depending on the topic, however i find the host a bit pandery to some of the callers when in fact, he should be challenging them. ian collins on lbc is a good alternative though.

    Do you listen to that programme online?

    It's a waste of a prime time slot.

    ian collins? yes, i listen online.
    if listening online isn't an option for you, you might be able to get lbc via your tv if your provider carries radio stations.

    i agree. my personal view is that the day time show should be scrapped and they just continue with the night time show, live, every week night. they can cover more topics and would be less limited. won't happen unfortunately.

    ticking a box on a form does not make you of a religion.

    He was on a while back saying that he loved watching "midget porn".

    I don't think hes even a real person probably another set up caller just like "steve the criminal".

    While I can see why some might find him and what he says appealing, I personally cannot abide Niall Boylan. He loves the sound of his own vouce and his opinion, as far as he's concerned, is all that matters. His shtick gets old quickly.

    I agree with other poster's sentiments about the old Phoneshow with Adrian and Jeremy. The show, I feel, is sorely missed. Many nights Jeremy had me in stitches with the stuff he came out with. It's easily up there in my top 5 radio shows of all time.

    I listen any night I'm at home I find him very interesting, he's well read and knowledgable, highly entertaining. he's not afraid to challenge people on various social topics, others wouldn't touch.

    Keith Ward, the presenter of the Phoneshow is leaving FM104. I just saw it on his twitter feed. I wonder who's going to replace him?

    as much as i would like it to happen, i would think no . the 2 lads probably wouldn't want to go back to working nights anyway for a start.

    100% they both said they’d never go back to the night shift. Shame really. Both shows and versions now are neutered versions of what they should be.

    I'd love to see them back at 104. I loved the old Phoneshow because there was always the sense that anything could happen on it. I never felt that when Chris and Keith presented the show.

    I doubt it myself.

    Adrian, has a very specific voice. I really doubted if someone could fill that right away. I think Keith in the end was making progress and for whatever reason decided to leave.

    All I can say is, there a serious slot there too be filled for what seemingly sounds like the 'right voice'.

    Yeah, I thought Keith was pretty good too, he had gotten much better since initially taking over from Chris 2 years ago. I think he's far better than Niall Boylan, despite being half his age. He never made the conversation about himself, unlike Boylan. I think if he'd stuck at it, he might have become a worthy successor to Adrian. I think the real problem is that they've never found a worthy successor to Jeremy.

    Depends... if they keep it PC then yes it's dead if not there's definitely appetite and an audience still there for it as portrayed on this thread.

    It's not dead, it's all the political correctness that is the problem. We currently living in an age where everything is being stiffled by political correctness and I think people are hungrier than ever for a subversive outlet that rejects this nonsense. The old Phoneshow provided that outlet and it's very telling that it was the most listened to night time show in Ireland. It's also very telling that Adrian and Jeremy haven't gotten anywhere close to equalling never mind surpassing the audience they had on 104. It's because their show on 98fm is also so damn politically correct and formulated.

    Disappointing to hear about Keith leaving fm104. I didn't know what was going on the last few weeks with the show. Cormac filling in week before Patricks day, then a full week of repeats and Cormac/Saoirse presenting again last night.
    They seem to have changed the format of the show completely. The first hour seems to be just the 2 hosts chatting to each other about news and current events, funny stories, quizzes, etc. Then a segment of what seems like prerecorded interviews with guests talking about their story/product/event/etc. There's no serious topics with people phoning in arguing their points with each other. Is Cormac taking over as the reigns full time now? He's good at the lighthearted and comedy stuff and it's entertaining radio but I'm starting to miss the old format. Like has been said above, there's huge potential for a talented host to revive late night Dublin talk radio.

    It feels like Cormac and Saoirse are only there as caretaker presenters until they find a full time presenter to resume the show in it's proper format.

    I've noticed recently on the FM 104 phone show that the language is pretty bad - bad enough we have to listen to bad language from the callers with no attempt by presenters to ask them to tone it down, but when presenters themselves start using bad language...

    for example last night it was t*** and ars*****. Maybe they're trying to be hip and trendy but sorry it just doesn't work...makes me think that they're not articulate enough to do a show without resorting to bad language.
