    "I would prefer if people didn't know what I was earning, but I definitely wasn't motivated by money," D'Arcy said.

    ...says the fella who plagued almost every guest about what they earned. I used to defend Ray a lot on here, but that's dopery of the highest order.

    Will this mean that there will be no more Mammies dancing around their Kitchens with their babies as they will be too busy on the school run.. :D

    Also why does Ray need two producers? Its hardly taxing reading out text from said Mammies dancing around their kitchens.

    And he admitted he wouldn’t have made the movie without his wife Jenny, who returns as his producer.

    What movie?

    If you take into account the voluntary redundancy package Janny Kally would have gotten when she left Today FM and fact she is now employed again by RTE, the D'Arcy household wage will be well up you can be guaranteed.

    If she left on her own account then she wouldn't have a redundancy package.

    Did Today FM have a voluntary redundancy scheme last year? Did Jenny Kelly avail of it? You're making a lot of assumptions there...

    Funny that the people who were "forced" to listen to Ray seem to be in line to be forced to listen to him again.

    This thread is fantastic.
    His last one was full of the same posters having a go at him over and over ad nauseum. They couldn't change station because their heads were shoved up to the speakers by bosses who paid them.....:rolleyes:
    What's their excuse this time? The guy hasn't even started yet.

    As regards the potential content of his show, rte are well aware of the kind of broadcaster he is. They're not paying him the wage he's getting on an afternoon slot to start banging out house music.

    Best of luck to him, I won't be listening as I'd rather moncrieff but for the lads having pops at him before he even starts you ought have a little think about it.

    All the thread needs is the return of mikey weston!!

    To be fair, an hour and a half of bangin' choonz would really liven Radio 1 up after Liveline.

    "The Liveline stays open until 3.15. Now, here's Maniac 2000 on a loop for 90 minutes."

    There are two morning show host I can't listen to. Marty Wheelan and Ray D'Arcy. It's nothing personal, I just don't enjoy listening to them.

    Moncreiff I like a lot but I wouldn't be prepared to listen to everthing he does.

    Lately I have had a good alternative. Since he started, Marty Morrisey is a far better Radio host than Mooney ever was. All IMHO of course.

    So if past behavior is indicative of future action I suspect I am going to miss Mr Morrisey come friday.

    I wonder where they got the fake callers for the promo... I think this was a stupid thing to do.... Cos everybody knows that the callers are fake since he is not on air yet...

    not sure that is entirely true. I dont recognise anyone complaining from the other thread. I was one who complained on the other thread, and I'm delighted now, as I wont have to listen to him anymore. Todayfm is on our work radio, and thats it, so there'll be no complaining from me anymroe about Darcy.

    I hope it works for him, and maybe he'll change up his show. The change may do him good, and the sly digs he has been getting since leaving Todayfm may well spur him to adjust and give a more positive outlook to his show and more varying topics.

    Listening figures would suggest a lot of people like his show. I loved it.

    At least he shuts to f**k up and lets his guests answer his questions. Not like the other fellow who would talk all over them and disagree with them at any opportunity.

    Well you'll be waiting because his new show isn't on in the morning it's on at 15:00.

    I saw him on with Neven Maguire the other night. looked like he could do with a good feed. He's wasted away to nothing.

    Will 'Fix it Friday' still be part of his schedule?

    I'll explode with excitement when I have 'Fix it Friday' & 'Funny Fridays' when the are on the same day.

    *insert sarcasm here*
