    I don't get it, most radio DJ's are annoying but who cares or follows them anyway.

    Ray Darcy is a bit of laugh and Matt Cooper has a good show with the Last Word.

    I mostly listen to Newstalk or Today FM if I'm in a car without an MP3 player. Spin wasn't that bad initially but its gotten worse since it started (I think most stations are like this) but we are in the same building as them and we hear their a**hole Dj's all the time when they are leaving the office.

    Dermot, Dave and Siobhan. Don't have a problem with Siobhan so much but the other two are idiots.

    I think that fella on Today FM is great, what's his name again? He does Pet Sounds at 7:00pm every evening.

    Jonny Lyons the guy who does the sports on 98fm is a plank makes me shout at the radio everytime he speaks:mad:

    Those two prickwads on 2fm every morning, colm and quim quim

    Tools of the highest order. Why would anyone choose to wake up to that shi'te? I think you'll find that there has been a rise in violent crime in this country in recent months and I believe that this can blamed on these two dopes putting people in an angry mood in the mornings.

    I don't tend to listen to Irish radio much anymore because of all the crap djs playing crap music. But there are a few exceptions out there.
    Phantom is still okish but nowhere near as good as it used to be and the ex-Phantom djs on other stations like Jenny Hueston and Alison Curtis are good.

    There are too many bad ones to name but the worst ones have to be those two idiots in the morning Colm and whatever two names the other blokes has.

    What about Carl Corcoran from Lyric FM.

    He's so inoffensive and soft spoken - I JUST WANT TO BREAK HIS F**KING FACE OPEN.....GAHHHHH!!!!!!!



    *Deep breaths, deep breaths*


    John Kelly is the only DJ I can tolerate.

    I know she's not strictly a DJ but its nice to be woken up by Claire Byrne's sweet voice every morning

    Gerry Ryan's turkey neck is getting its own show on 2fm.
    As for Larry Gogan, he hasn't been on top of his game since World War 2 when he used to do war news updates. He hasn't been on top of his wife for a few years either, cause she died of cancer I think

    Has anbody had the misfortune os listing to Midlands Radio 3? It must be the worst radio staion ever!! Most of thier presenters sound like their talking from the grave!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,464 ✭✭✭furtzy


    Anne Marie Kelly on Today FM. Usually have to endure the last 10 minutes of her before Ian Dempsey. all she talks about is Laois and the GAA......don't know how she got to be on radio.

    Also that Ray Foley gimp as well.....annoying wacky dj style like chris evans


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 555 ✭✭✭baztard


    Michael McMullen - the today fm sports guy. Listening to him is like listening to someone scrape their nails down a blackboard. He's the most irritaing noise on the radio.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,678 ✭✭✭jjbrien


    If you think Larry Gogan is past it take at look at some of these presenters http://www.midlandsradio.fm/Crew.aspx


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,305 ✭✭✭jobonar


    Suprised somebody's saying they don't like Joe and Keith - the only two funny people on the radio at all.
    i agree. best show on radio by far.

    Cliona O' Leary from the Zoo crew on Spin 1038. stop with the fake accent. it DOES MY HEAD IN!! and the fake LAUGH!! dont get me started.


  • Hosted Moderators Posts: 7,486 ✭✭✭Red Alert


    That Ernie dude on Q102 is really annoying - he reads page after page of requests and never has time to play any of them!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,216 ✭✭✭✭monkeyfudge


    Alan Partridge is the best though:

    "This is Radio Norwich, and that was Big Yellow Taxi by Joni Mitchell, a song in which Joni complains that they 'paved paradise to put up a parking lot', a measure which actually would have alleviated traffic congestion on the outskirts of paradise, something which Joni singularly fails to point out, because it doesn't quite fit with her blinkered view of the world. It's 4.37 a.m. and you're listening to 'Up with The Partridge'.."


    And for those of you sticking up for foley....

    ahem....

    Phil Cawley gets on my tits big time.

    I also like Jenny Huston, along with Cormac Battle on 2FM. Dave Fanning is still OK, but rarely on
    On Today FM, Tom Dunne, Donal Dineen and Alison Curtis are all good. And Ann Marie Kelly plays good music when she's subbing for one of them.

    Most of the rest of them just have to play whatever their producers tell them, and that's based on some sort of lowest common denominator marketing surveys. And the fact that most of them also talk sh1te doesn't help. Don't bother turning on your radio before 19:00 (and the 22:00 to midnight slot is also pretty patchy except on Sunday)

    Since i've been negative about the 'djs' i hate much i think ill balance it out a touch.

    Sinister pete's show on phantom in the morning is fkin class, always has good stuff to go on about and tends to play great music. Miss coffee is damn good too, but since i started my new job i cant really hear the radio from where i am, so i only get to listen to it from 8-9 :<
