    Wow, The Saturdays on the show this morning. That was a big win for Foley. Were they on any other show?

    They were on D'Arcy yesterday on TodayFM alright, not sure about today.

    I thought they only appeared on weekend shows.

    The Ann-Una Skits were some of the funniest radio I
    have ever heard in my life.

    I really miss them!

    What was the "Big Scoop for 98FM" that Deeno mentioned going into the 9:30 news does anyone know?

    Was it the thing about Ryan Seacrest and the film he's making? She said something along the lines of: a film is being brought out by 98fm.....'s Ryan Seacrest.

    OOps I meant the heathers. But not much still to be blowing about IMO. Yawn. I prefer artists that actually write their own songs.

    Little off topic but that heathers tune you're referring too was written by them 100%.

    On another note I agree it's now very annoying :)

    On foley though. The show really does sound much fresher since they came back from hols. And the music has improved vastly.

    "We're Dublin's Best Music Mix...... No, seriously!" :P

    I wonder what's changed? They get a new guy in for the playlists? I'm inclined to think something has happened internally given Ray is constantly mentioning it.

    I think the gag is that they're being told to say it by management. Though there probably have been some small changes to compliment that, too.

    Haven't listened to today's podcast but Jesus is pink paying 98fm money ? Every morning at roughly the same time they play it. I mean pink isn't the worst but please let the song fall down the charts so they will stop playing the fecking thing.

    Same goes for Bastille, Robbie Williams, Passenger and Bruno Mars. So sick of the 98 playlist. It's worse than Today FM's.

    But haven't you noticed that the music on 98 is much better lately?? :P

    I hate that Pink/singer from Fun song. Actually I hate most Pink songs in general. Which says a lot 'cause I tend to like everything!

    I'm the same Seren. I love basically every genre of music, and honestly I like most of what snippets of songs I hear on the podcast, but good lord, every time a pink song starts, I have to scan through the podcast until it fades out.

    Ann for me. Deeno was very grumpy on the show the other day. Foley and JP were taking the mick.

    Was she ? Well to be fair she is up at an ungodly hour unlike Ann. And I think it Would work better if Deeno was ACTUALLY in the studio but a minor detail.

    I don't know why people expect Deeno to be as funny as Ann. Everyone has a different personality, and yes she does have to get up early to do a serious job. Ann mainly sat in the studio and had a laugh with the boys.

    I never listened in the Today FM era so I can't pass comment on Ann but I think Deeno is great on the show. Her personality is starting to be expressed more now that Adrian is gone. She's up at a ridiculously early time and has to prepare half-hourly bulletins so all in all, I think she contributes well to the talkback after the news updates. It would be better if she was actually in the studio as well.

    While i was not a regular listener or a big fan of Foley on Today fm I do think he is more suited to the breakfast show, time of day and given time he should take a lot of listeners from fm 104's Strawberry. Foley and co are a slick well oiled machine with tonnes of ideas and personality in comparison with the often stilted vacant charisma lacking duo on fm104.

    So Foley "should take a lot of listeners from fm 104's strawberry". Bit of a comedown from your last observation on how Foley would impact on 104's breakfast figures.

    Understandable I guess given the recent figures....

    What exactly was heybaby's last observation?

    And you registered just to post that?

    Ugh, guessing this is someone from 104 considering it's their first post.

    104 do a good job with the way they programme their station, having the shows that get the biggest reaction in the morning and at late night (so people go to bed listening to 104 and wake up with it still on).

    That doesn't really account for quality, though. The Strawberries are very tired sounding these days (and I loved that show when I was younger, as I've said many times before, so I'm not biased either way). If 98 were to stick on something different at night that'd get people talking, they'd probably kill 104 over time, considering that their daily line-up is probably stronger when you add Dermot & Dave to the mix.

    FM104 are #1 on habit and good programming alone. Those are problems that are (relatively) easy to fix. Having someone talented that can win listeners is the hard part. Right now, 98 have that, they just need to figure out the rest (playlist very much included). Don't put too much weight on one JNLR book - it's not as one-sided a race as it looks by any means.

    If you want, consider 98 as Manchester City that season after they had the big injection of cash: they're not going to win the league right away, but they did in just two years when they organised the influx of added talent into a well-oiled machine.
