    It's a cracking listen alright and yep, safe to say that the Today FM ship has sailed.

    I wonder if Foley has something lined up...neither he nor Red FM have been promoting his show on Saturdays on social media the past few weeks which may mean its drawing to a close soon...and I wonder if there is more to the NTN absence than laziness...

    There's a new NTN podcast today! I hope he reveals all!

    Just gotten to the part about the leaving today fm to 98fm and the whole situation with the anton interview. Some interesting insights I have to say. Maybe the anton leaving was in the works before it actually happened.

    Well it seems that today fm are making ****e for themselves for no good reason.

    Why is Foley still showing off about "going on the piss" and being hung over as if he was an 19 yo student ? He is a 40 year old father of 2 ffs, it's no wonder that he is a failure

    TL;DL Version: Anton asked Ray how he felt after the 98 thing didn't work. Ray gave the standard "Ah, t'was sh*te it didn't work out, but hey, I've moved on." answer. Anton pressed the issue, so Ray essentially said:
    • Coming up to the end of his time in 98, he had numerous meetings with management in Today FM who told him they had a gig for him on weekends at first, and go from there then.
    • He had a meeting with a higher up in Today FM (he said level above management) and it was confirmed.
    • Two weeks before he was due to start, got a phone call to say it was off. Ray asked for a reason, was told they couldn't give a reason.

    This apparently caused a bit of a sh*t-storm in Today FM after interview and Anton's team took a bit of flak.





    As with anything though, we're only getting one side of the story, so y'know, don't necessarily take it as gospel.

    Heh, that response is worthy of an Al response to Ray's self-deprecation. :pac:

    Also I thought it was interesting that they talked about the vibe after Adelle went on maternity leave and Ann got sick. It seemed like the joy of doing the show went out of them and it's hardly surprising that happened and they got Alan on board and then Alan left.

    So...this happened on Newstalk this evening...the first half hour of Off The Ball weirdly entertaining as always and "I Believe" got a play, on national radio and TV, with a subsequent discussion of JP's former life as the "beautiful assistant to Ray Foley...the talented one"!

    They let JP speak on Off The Ball (20th I think) and give out to him about hanging up on Stephen Ward to quickly.

    It was the first time I heard on their show and his levels were all over the place* but it was great to hear him, and to hear him be picked on again.

    (Attempted radio speak)

    Dempsey followed by D&D followed by Foley would be excellent! I'd put up with "Ferg" if that was the line up that preceded him!

    That would be amazing but I sadly can't see Foley ever returning to TodayFM.

    I would agree under current management at least but hey can always live in hope for a couple of weeks...only to be brought back down to earth when someone like "Ferg" gets it!

    A lot of rumour of Muireann could get it, I'd be happy enough if Muireann gets her own show.
