    Tony Fenton irritates me. Today fm is always on at work and the 2 and a half hours of tony can range from grand to torture.

    "Ya, great song, great song" or his love of "Bruce" or "Van, the Man" annoy me, but his clichéd mannerisms are extremely irritating.

    He can be very 'smashy and nicey' I agree and he is obsessed with playing van morrison but i find fenton rather inoffensive and easy enough to listen to, there are far worse dj's on todayfm.

    I love the Fenton. He's totally cliché but thats part of his charm. If you cant take it, then turn it off.

    Tony Fenton is not my cup of tea, I can't stand they way everywhere is a 'fantastic part of the country' no matter what boghole you choose to ring the show from he'll still love it!

    He's not the worst though, my most hated DJ's in order would have to be:

    1. Colm Hayes (can't abide him)
    2. RayDarcy (hate his guts)
    3. Niki Hayes
    4. Tony Fenton

    Yes we know you hate Ray Foley. We've had the pleasure of viewing your facebook group on two different threads now.

    how can the OP like Ray Foley and find Tony annoying. Used to work in a shop where the radio was under boss control and none of us could stand the Ray Foley show and were bloody relieved when his "wacky" crew finished and Tonaaay! started up. Hes a DJ, they are suppoed to sound like muppets

    Used to think TF was tpp sleazy sounding, but he does play some decent tunes in fairness. I can't stand the Ray Foley show...

    Tony, please please please TURN DOWN YOUR HEADPHONES!! The feedback is incredibly irritating. Ironically, you want to hear your deep tones nice and clearly, but it makes your voice sound strange on the radio. Turn them down !!

    Yeah. He's just how he is. An old school DJ. Lots of schmooz!

    Hate? That's a bit strong isn't it? They may not be your cup of tea (or coffee) for that matter but they're probably not bad people.

    Oh I didn't say I didn't like him! The term "legend of Irish radio" is reserved for the likes of him, Larry Gogan, Chris Barry, Mike Moloney,...

    and Pat Courtney apparently...

    Yeah, it seems there will be large collective orgasms among some when he starts on Nova. I'm not convinced of his God like talents yet. He was good back then but no way was he head and shoulders above the others. (I better keep the ould flak jacket on a bit longer!!;))

    Is anyone else listening to this?! He is having to pause mid-sentence as there is so much feedback. It was the same all last week. Every day for two hours Tony battles with feedback because his headphones are too loud! I know I'm going on a bit but really Tony, turn them down !

    Ha - Today FM is on in work all the time Sids. Have actually given Nova a rest though. I found myself picking it apart too much. I'll go back in a couple of weeks when they settle in a bit more.

    I've just listened back to Tony. I can't understand how such an experienced guy can let the same thing happen day after day after day.

    About 15:30 on Part 1 of his show, you'll hear what I mean: http://audiostore.todayfm.com/player/monday.html

    him and that Rick lad make me sick to my belly.

    How they got onto RADIO is beyond me.

    Fentons manner and the way he forces on uncomfortable conversations with callers is hard to listen to.

    Does he go home or go to the shop with that silly accent???

    I heard him say to a caller recently when they commented on a song he liked......

    " Ha ha I like your flavour."
    I cringed so much I almost crashed into a wall while driving.

    Same problems again today, so I've emailed Tony this:

    Hi Tony,

    I hope all is well. A small issue with your audio is cropping up again and again on our forum. There is a constant feedback issue. It sounds like your headphones are too loud. Every time your music bed stops playing it seems to get worse, but it can happen with the bed playing too. The feedback can get quite loud. I’m sure you’ve noticed it yourself, as it sounds like it has knocked you off your stride a few times.

    I’m just wondering if you have any plans to change your audio settings?

    All the best,

    boards.ie user – elviscostello

    Tony Fenton's ongoing popularity in this country is indicative of a serious flaw in our national character and the very reason the IMF will be in here sorting us out by christmas. We have the country (and daytime DJs) we deserve.

    I believe Tony refers to his manhood as "little Tony", as in "Come and sit on my lap, and say hello to little Tony".
    I also believe that Tony had a cyst removed from his ovary when he was a teenager. That cyst grew up to be......PHIL CAWLEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    OMFG, like.
