whats yer favourite radio station to listen to? has to be Today FM for me, pure class i think. Always entertaining. i must say though i only listen to it until about 5 o'clock when im finished work. Ian Dempsey, Ray D'arcy and Ray Foley's shows are brilliant, im getting sick on tony fenton tbh, loves duffy, tom baxter, adele and rebecca chulme or whatever her name is. plays same things everyday but the first 3 shows of the day are class
your views?
Usually only hear radio something between 9-10am & 7-9pm so mostly on Newstalk. I don't get to hear during the day too often but Sean Moncrief always entertaining.
i get the newstalk podcast for the football and didn't really like it
Newstalk mostly.
I switch between them all till i hear a song i like , dont really have any one that I would prefer than the rest
At night I'd listen to Radio Five Live for Late Night Live and Up All Night
I only ever listen to Radio Five Live for the football coverage. I occasionally catch Morning Ireland.
Spin or FM104 if I'm listening to music. Mostly listen to Off the Ball on newstalk apart from that and BBC Radio 5 live on Sundays for the footie.
radio 5 podcasts are very good. i get spoony's, tim lovejoys and alan green's shows
Fighting Talk has to be the best sports show ever without actual coverage.
Phantom FM for music and NewsTalk for, well, news. Off The Ball is like crack to me.
Today FM for Ian Dempsey, Ray D'Arcy and Ray Foley. Then i switch over to Newstalk for Sean Moncrieff and after him if i'm still in work and listening to the radio, i switch back to Today FM for Matt Cooper. If i'm listening to the radio after that, i listen to Tom Dunne, he's the best DJ about by a mile but i don't have the time to listen to him anymore.
In the UK, Magic FM. Such a wide variety of music. From 80's cheese to 90's cheese. And they always play the best new music. They update their playlist every few months. The songs everyone loves.. all day long, every day long.
Sarcasm is great.
i wouldn't listen to any station really, certainly wouldn't listen to an Irish or UK station, some great stations in the states though if ye can listen on line.
How do the tricks work when you can't see them?Quote:

Ray D'arcy is a middle of the road arsehole who is so conservative and he should hand his **** back to whoever is in charge of giving out cocks. He is such a wuss he is unreal. He is a disgrace to mankind He has no integrity and his knowledge of music is rubbish.
A few shows on XFM on t'internet if I'm at work at those times (but rarely at home for some reason) and Matt Cooper and Tom Dunne on Today FM in the car on the way there or back. Also Mark Graham's Friday night show on WLR after the match, only ever get the last 15 minutes though. :D
Would rather listen to nothing in the daytime, can't be doing with daytime radio DJs. Don't get me started on Ray D'Arcy. :mad:
Actually, no, I'll just echo what NeilMcD said. :D
No it was Watford he supported originally but i agree, he is a ******!Quote:

Otherwise I listen to morning Ireland, Last Word, random b its of Newtalk and a little bit of lyric.

Excellent show. As yourself don't get to hear it enough.Quote:

Matt Cooper is a political story breaks is decent too. Despise George Hook
RedFM. its a bit cheesy sometimes but far better than 96FM and wouldn't want to voluntarily listen to Dublin accents all day. Plus they're CCFC sponsors and a lot of the DJs/reporters are CCFC fans (since before their jobs)
Phantom. Used to listen to Newstalk a bit but most of their presenters are really annoying recently.
Don't really do radio but will throw on Phontom from time to time when I get bored with the ipod. the rest of dublin/Irish radio is so generic and interchangeable that its bordering on insulting.
For those that went to Australia - Triple J is easily the best radio station i've ever listened to and has introduced me to most of my favourite bands today. and the morning lads were actually genuinely funny which is a rarity (especially for Australians!! :p )

I suppose at heart it's music that I wouldn't otherwise be exposed to but have a great fondness for, but nearly as much as that I just have to appreciate the presenter's style; he doesn't just press a button but introduces almost every song with a description of the artist and might tell you that they're singing about, say, the strife of the Berber people in Mauritania. Excellent show if you're at-all-amenable to world music.
Newstalk has been a great addition to the national airways in fairness. Seán Moncrieff is wonderfully witty and always asks good questions of his guests, and the Off The Ball podcast with Johnny is, as José might say, fantastic. I'd occasionally listen to their morning show, but find Claire Byrne and the incessant money-making racket of "so, we'd love to know what you think about this, why don't you drop us a text" incredibly annoying and together with too many ad breaks means the show seriously wants for a flow.
Closer to heart, Radio Kerry's Terrace Talk is an excellent sports show but I've largely neglected it out of absent-mindedness of late, unfortunately. Years ago, Atlantic 252 used to be a big favourite!
