Do you ever get your name called out on the radio?

jay-me

I often hear people being called out on the radio by name especially on the weekend and it got me thinking do that many people listen to the radio when their out having the craic??

Never done it myself nor do I know anyone who has but each to their own and all that.

It is ridiculously easy to get your name called out on Tipp FM
Send a text in and you are pretty much guranteed to get announced.
Well driving from Nenagh to the the Ragg near Thurlus at weekends, may as well text in while you are gettting there, it's a bit of a drive.

Won an ipod on Off the Ball of Newstalk once, that's a national station now.
Producer rang me up after the show.
Brilliant

How'd you mean?
Like "this song is dedicated to John and Mary"
or
"Guards would like to speak to John in relation to the robbery of porn last weekend"?

I did once, was taking my little sister to a Dublin match we were in a taxi and the radio was on. I was talking to the driver and half heard a message announced "wants to thank her brother for taking her to the Dubs match" and i turned around to my sister and said "now isnt that nice someone thanking their brother for taking them to the match!!"

It was my sister who had txtd in

I'm only the gnome and I do always be on the radio singing with my guitar for all my fans in west and north west of Ireland.

I had loads of people in Radio 1, 2FM and today FM read out my texts.

Just persist, stalk them with texts

I don't give my full name...am I disqualified?

Cheap Thrills!

I've spoken on this particular radio show a few times but I always gave a false name, I wouldn't go on air unless they agreed to that!!! Another time I won a big competition but I think only gave my first name. I am very shy in RL !!!

I text Sean Moncrief when he had Emma Ledden as a gust on his show. I told him that Emma Ledden was number two on my list. The had a 20 minute discussion about my list and the concept of lists.

Good times

Let's see... the first time I heard my name on the radio was back in 1996 on BBC Radio 2.

I've had my name mentioned on UCB radio, BFBS radio and on Amazing Radio. In fact I won a CD from UCB earlier this year.

My solitary life has been made easier by text messages, especially as I've got unlimited free texts this month.

I had my name read out on Radio Australia and got Brown Sugar by the Stones played on Radio Warsaw a lifetime ago. Happiness is just a Short Wave away.

I've had it called out once and that was last year. I was staying late in work and just had the radio for company. I called in with a request and they played it and said hi.

I think it was FM104?

squeakyduck

I had my name called out on spin for the "good news guys" part of the show. I was just after finishing my thesis that day so it was my good news. Got to talk on air too! YAYY!

Whats wrong with Irish radio?

I've texted quite a few times to Irish radio stations on traffic snarl-ups, i'm sure there are people out there saying Novena's for me right now.

kfallon

Loads of times on the radio, tv, internet on the sports section

Oh that little bit of bother in court a few years ago got me in the media, soon sorted that out tho

A few times.

When Gareth O'Callaghan presented the afternoon show on 2FM about 7/8 years ago someone e-mailed a virus hoax into him, stating it as fact. I then e-mailed a comprehensive message to prove it was fake. He read it the next day and I got a call from a classmate in school saying "that was you, wasn't it?"

During the summer I also texted into Colm and Lucy one morning about 3D movies (I can't see them and was giving an explanation why). Seconds after sending it their researcher called me back, asking me to go on and talk to them but I was on a train so declined the offer.

My brother also texted Will Leahy about pet names, revealing my mother's pet name on air. I didn't hear it but she called me, assuming it was me that sent it.

My friend was also talking to Ryan Tubridy on his second show.

Well now I have to ask, what's your mothers pet name?

Does a V/O guy saying it count ?

Haha, she got a perm in the 80s and earned the nickname Worzel Gummidge. It stuck... the perm is long gone but she often gets called Worzel without even thinking!
