    How long has he been off air in Dublin now? More than 10 years anyway. Launched breakfast on 98fm or Classic hits as it was then. Used to be on the pirates before that.

    I never really liked Pat & Elaine on Classic Hits but they were the market leaders for quite a long time before FM104 took over with the Strawberries. Aidan Cooney did the sport IIRC and it was a real Dub fest.

    It was Lisa Jolly btw..

    Pat Courtnay is a genius. I know some will disagree but just give him a chance when he is on air and you will be converted.

    Did anyone see this in today's Irish Times? -

    http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/finance/2010/0722/1224275195411.html

    Seems to be a lot of sensitivity flying around about the whole thing.....

    You can't blame Sybil. It's still quite raw for her. Nova was arguably Chris's biggest success story and definitley changed the face of radio in Ireland. If it wasn't for Nova and Chris, would we have radio in te format we have today? He spurred a lot of people into action - some to create radio stations and others to shut them down! I welcome the new Nova but also offer respect to the 'original'. The only problem with Nova 100 using that name is that they will be compared to Radio Nova whether good or bad...

    Yes, someone else just would've done it. That's not me being negative towards Nova but it was there for the taking, he just happened to be at the right place in the right time and it was all new to Dublin.

    Maybe so, Mark, but there's not much sign of innovation around the radio scene today. He gave radio in Ireland a good kick in the ars. And set many of today's 'names' on the road to success.

    I don't get the canonisation of CC - he was influential but so were many others. His expertise was coping that the irish Market was ready to be exploited with a west coast format - and name. After CC left these shores didn't he go into the equally illegal copying of Sky digital cards?

    Sybil, get over it - neither the name of the station or the format were original but Nova 100 was a name coined by a shareholder (kb) as the ultimate tribute.

    From Radiowaves News -

    David Tighe has stepped down from his position as Chief Executive of Radio Nova, which launched on the first day of September this year. Director Kevin Branigan has stepped into the role in an acting capacity.

    Responding to criticisms of the station's performance in its first two months on air, Kevin says: "We're very happy wth the progress of Nova so far, no concerns whatsover. We've no foresight into what our listenership figures are so far but considering the number of shops and taxis that have us on, and the number of texts, calls, Facebook fans and general enthusiasm about the station, we have no reason to be concerned in the slightest. That and the fact that we made our direct sales target for the entire year in our first month of broadcasting gives us great confidence and puts the company on a very sound footing."

    ---

    I'm wondering is this comment to do with listenership figures or the playlist choices? I know there was a lot of criticism of the playlist when the station was launched (including on Boards), but has that continued?

    IMO it has..but like myself it felt like banging your head on a wall....

    They've clearly ignored all that criticism thrown at them and just carried on with their now "dated" playlists...
    Theres a lot of bands that i loved but now i'm starting to hate...I'm just sick of the same tracks being aired...Its like having only one 80's cassette in the car and the radio's fkuced.....

    And one of the best shows (PJ) is on late on sunday night when some people have to get up for work the next day.....it does not make sense..:mad:
    I still hear it ,but i'm not listening to it....if you get my drift...
