Show on 98fm about a decade ago?

Tricked

Hi,

I was trying to remember a show that was on 98 fm about 8 or 9 years ago. It was on around the same time as the fm104 phone show but finished at 12pm I think. The presenter was fairly well known, I think he works for TG4 now, Irish name, bald guy i think. It was a bit like Moncrieffe - chat show with interviews and music. Any ideas? :rolleyes:

Chris Barry's show was great, actually entertaining unlike the current crop of bear-baiting late night phone-in shows we have on 98fm and fm104 these days.

I used to love when people rang Adrian Kennedy's phone show and called him "Chris".

didn't Niall Power of the beat breakfast show used to fill in for Chris, or perhaps Adrian back in those days.

Me to, Kennedy would go mad when he was called Chris

Tom Brannigan was very good and his show was much better than Adrian Kennedy's. It also had a nice variety to it aswell with the solictor on for a segment for one night, Dermot Jewell on another night and some movie reviewer on another night.

Joey the lips

Chris Barry slow was a classic. I worked nights in batchellors I loved it.

Adrian Kennedy is shoite. Total and utter shoite.

Yeah Tom had a much better show covered a lot of things sport etc

on the horse racing he used to have Paul McGee RIP he was jimmy mcgees son giving out tips every week.


Toms show was way more professional than Adrian Kennedys

Hopefully Tom might make a comeback

think it was Niall Boylan who used to fill in for Chris, afaik Niall now sells wigs and was on the late late show a couple of years back with Pat Kenny showing them off.

One of his "models" on the LLS that night actually was the Joey guy who used to answer the phones

Haha it was Tom Brannigan alright, thanks guys!

McGee was great, some decent tips and really entertaining. There was a regular musician too called Mahoney who was pretty decent.

It was always great to Kennedy fume at the Chris thing, any time I listen now they constantly flaunt that they're unrivaled in the night time spot. It would be good to have a talk show rival like Tom's back, maybe on Newstalk

Chris Barry started on 104 then moved to 98 as far as I recall, but I felt that the show lost something in the move myself.

Adrian Kennedy then took over full-time on 104 (he used to cover for Chris initially) and that's when the show descended into scumbag-baiting.
