    Just noticed this on radiowaves, a site where I see the natives have had to have this explained...
    Top four stories on Cork 96fm's website -

    -Classmates of a schoolboy murdered on a railway line near Coleraine have provided detectives with fresh leads in the investigation.

    - A man has been sentenced to 12 years in prison for his part in a sectarian attack in Londonderry which left a father-of-one in a coma.

    - Business Secretary Peter Mandelson has pledged government support for Northern Ireland in the face of growing concerns over the economy.

    - Temperatures dipped as low as minus 6 in parts of Northern Ireland on Thursday night, making driving conditions treacherous

    Two further stories added today, the earliest of which begins "Police investigating the murder of a German backpacker whose body was found in a County Antrim forest 20 years ago want to speak to a number of women."

    here are Dublin Q102's top news stories on their website....

    09:41 Castletroy Hotel to begin hiring
    09:37 Kenny says "Use Fine Gael plan"
    09:30 Limerick Red Cross honoured
    17:17 Limerick break-in investigated

    The Castletroy Hotel incidentally is in Limerick.

    Tonight's top stories on the same site begin thus....
    18:30 Limk man gets 3 yrs for sex assault
    18:28 Green all the way in Limerick
    18:26 Gardai crucial to end knife crime (It`s hoped a new awareness campaign on knife crime will help save lives on Limerick city streets.)
    15:04 Gardai probe fires (Investigations are underway into a number of fires in Limerick city early this morning)

    I'm not sure what exactly you're trying to do, are you sharing information or just trying to take the píss out of radiowaves?

    If it's the former, thanks, I suppose.
    If it's the latter, shouldn't you be telling them that you think their users are stupid on their own board rather than this one?

    Saw the post on radiowaves, and it made sense. Like 2fivers, I don't have a clue what point you're trying to make here.

    Is it that radio stations in Cork and Dublin, have news stories about NI and Limerick, instead of news about their own locale?

    Yes, in the UTV owned stations case,it's all down to the stations being indebted to their Ulster based owners for information, or just not paying attention to the feeds.

    I just couldnt fathom why there was a reference in the initial post to 'natives not understanding'. Just seemed a bit unnecessary to bring the users of another forum into it for no apparent reason other than to have a dig at them..
