What just happened i102-104

Rylan

Just switched on iradio for five minutes and heard a girl giving out sh1t and slagging her boyfriend with him on the other line. He was there going " what the F$7k, I just rang in too....... f£$k2 and then hung up.

Think I missed something good.:p

Didn't hear it either. But with i102-104 they repeat a lot of stuff all week long.

So chances are you'll hear it again if it was that good;)

unless its in breach of BCI guidlines, then it will be hauled up infront of the BCI for an investigation.. im afraid nasty language is not allowed on stations licensed for regional broadcast (well during the day anyway haha)

Rylan

Yeah they did broadcast fu*k twice but apologised for it.

I hate that station, heard this stupid prank phone-call thing and the one I heard was a 'best of'.. some girl rang her sister live on air to tell her she had been in a bad car accident and was waiting for the ambulance, could her sister call her parents etc and tell them to come to the hospital. Anyone who finds that funny is a tool IMO. The sister was fairly shocked at the thought of there being an accident and didn't get how it was meant to be funny once it was revealed.

I dunno, her reaction was like 'hmm, oh right, okay' ... I reckon she was like 'what the hell is this about' in a confused manner as opposed to anything else.


Yeah that fake accent wrecks my head big time!

I too hate that station (apart from the rock show that's on Saturday afternoons).

Top of my list has to be that idiot that presents the drivetime show in the evening time. He sounds like a culchie and he has some other cretin beside him who just keeps shouting random words.

I have to admit I really like i102-104. Its way ahead of any of the other stations and even find I listen on the net when not in galway. There is always a bit of craic and eejitin going on and I like the music, except(unlike the poster above) the rock show on a saturday afternoon and the new music show on a sunday evening.

Cant wait for the tommy and hector show to return.

i think i102 has been great for galway...i absolutely cant stand sh!t fm....galway bay fm...
it always a bit of craic and its good to have a choice of stations.i102 is aimed at younger audience,im in my 20's and listen al the time...
that and they have great dance music shows on a friday and saturday night

The Big Red Button

I really, really, really used to like this station.

The last month or so, every time I've turned it on, it's been advertisements.

Therefore I've stopped turning it on. Simple as.

LadyMayBelle

I used to listen to the new music show. If Im not mistaken both that and the 'rock' show are hosted by the same guy. There is one show tho where they have some sorta 'character' they introduce which is basically just a voice with the levels adjusted to some crazy frog status...time to switch off...

galwayfeen

i do think the station is a lot better than galway bay fm but yeah what is with all the American accents,the " YOU ARE NOW LISTENING TO I102 - 104" was bad enough,now we have that girl in the morning who puts it on.i always used to the listen the station and still do,just not as much because of their lack of variety in tunes,i swear if i feckin hear "i gotta feelin' " or "sexy bitch" I'm going to...........text them a mean message,but sure they barely read those either.......rant over,i102 -104.......sort yourselves out

Used to like it, but then I got fed up with them trying to be quirky and cool and 'with it'.

I e-mailed a complaint about what everyone is talking about on here before to the station and didn't get so much as a reply. Oh well...as long as others listen then theres no need for them to change

biko

I was a big fan, but has since changed to 4FM

In fairness she spent a good few years living in America so her accent is not put on.

they're generally young and fun.
not like other stations where they're auld wans posing as young and fun.

Was just about to say this. Why do people think it's fake???

If that's what young and fun sounds like then I'm glad I'm getting older!! Wrecks my head. I switched to 4FM and listen to Today Fm in the evenings...

Sniipe

It can't be that bad. Granted there are a lot of adds, but its very popular and growing...


I will admit I listen to the show only at 1.15pm for the iJacker (not a fan of the pretend I was in an accident one but the others are good. Can't stand singing for strangers)

There are a list of his IJackers on http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=319797022
BUT, he says he updates it daily, but thats rubbish becuase there are only 10 in total on the podcasts page when they have done much more than that. IRadio crew if you see this please update those podcasts. It can't be THAT hard to do.

I have mixed views on the station. Really like it sometimes when Im not in the mood for serious radio - just some music and a laugh. Defo way better than Galway Bay Fm. I agree though 4fm is great.

Not a fan of iJacker - making people almost cry on the radio is not my idea of funny.

And Louise thats on in the morning DID live in America until she was a teenager -she had said it before when texts came in slagging her accent.

The drivetime show is the most cringeworthy and embarrassing show about. The DJ and his sidekick are absolutely unbearable, are they trying to be funny?

_ZeeK_

at least they're daring to be different...

they seem to be generating a lot of thought and opinion, whether its positive or negative.

Is that how they won a PPI award last year after less then a year on air?
Anyway that person who misses Chris Green might want to listen to the sister station i105-107 between 1pm and 3:50 as Chris has taken over the day time chat show The Third i. (although he's out at the moment with Swine Flu, he's even podcasting about it.)
This thread is more a 'Radio and Media' thread rather then something affecting just Galway City.

Caliden

some seriously over used words/phrases on the show that just make me cringe.
I realise they're trying to appeal to a wide age bracket but could they move away from trying to focus on secondary school students.

I would love someone to count how many times the following is said in a single day:
random
ledge
'you're so sound'

sometimes it's like listening to a radio show run by 1st year arts students

shampoosuicide

a show made by idiots for idiots
