    It's pretty poor alright.

    Listening to it feels like you're eavesdropping on a slightly addled taxi driver from Drimnagh telling christmas cracker gags & reminiscing about the time he was a roadie for Horslips while he reads the "entertainment" news from the evening Herald out loud to an overenthusiastic Montessori school teacher.

    Nova's "The Rock Report". It's broadcast between 6 and 7 , and repeated at night. It isn't very good. I dont like it.

    I think the most important element for this station is undoubtedly the music. So, in fact, "The Rock Report" is a good compromise in its efforts to fulfill the 20% news remit, whilst concentraing on what the station is supposed to be about. I actually enjoy that show. It appears that I am in a minority on that front.

    I like the relative informality of it. It is clear that Tommy Walsh is a big fan of music and knows his music - he is after all a musician himself. Marty Miller, the experienced deejay that he is, and Tommy talk about rock news items, helped by Hot Press. I would have thought that real rock fans would like to hear this.

    Anyway, that's my tuppence worth.

    I agree. To the casual listener, maybe it sounds a bit iffy, what with Tommy's strong accent, but after all it is a DUBLIN station, and Tommy is a good rock-type musician.

    And if you listen to it for a while you do realise that BOTH of them have a real passion for the music and a lot of knowledge.

    Both are very nice guys - give it a chance!

    Did you hear him last night? Roared out laughing and called Richie Sambora a "sad f**k!" live on air :O

    I nearly clipped the ditch laughing.
