    Woke up the morning and PJ was on the clock radio. He asked enthusiastically for callers to ring in.

    Not sure what your on about but I noticed over the last few weeks that PJ is getting a lot more callers than what Neil was getting.

    I think PJ is doing a good job overall.He sure knows his stuff and can have a bit of a laugh aswell.

    really?? my grandmother was listening in all week, and was saying that the only calls he had seemed "lined up", she mentioned one was with the gaelscoil peig sayers or something? she was saying they were more news orientated than the usual chat show calls would be.


    apparently pj's voice is going through her head so she's waiting until neil's back to switch over, her friend that calls up said the same i think both Neil and pj are like marmite, you either love them or hate them.

    My mother listens to Neils show and even though she finds him annoying at times she thinks he does a better job than PJ.

    Are 96fm keeping PJ on to do the morning show?

    Pj is doing a good job at the minute. He does try a little too hard at times, over exaggerating his concern and over exaggerating his shock at various callers comments. Some people find his lisp or his slight speech impediment annoying, and while this does seem to be getting more pronounced as the years go by I am sure that his genuine interest in broadcasting makes up for it.
    That said I believe when Neill comes onair back in four weeks time it will be difficult for Pj to keep any listeners,

    I heard today that a lot of the internal Sales Staff/Account Managers have left 96FM & moved to RedFM also.

    This will cripple 96FM if they take their black books with contacts in them.

    We stopped to get parking disks this morning, my wife jovially leap from the car and went into the shop.

    A few moments later she came out angry and upset, "Is there anyway to BAN that idiot"

    What's wrong says I, you were only in the shop two minutes. I was standing under the bleeding speaker and PJ was rabbiting on, on one of his pet subjects, he's so annoying.

    She was genuinely upset and she eat her lunch before we got to our job. She is seriously getting withdrawal symptoms for the other presenter to appear on Red FM, she's counting down the bleedin days.

    PJ should be in a plain white box with a health warning, "hazardous if listened too."

    You'll most likely see massive changes in ITV/UTV. too, it's no coincidence that they are challenging TV3 [in Ireland] ~ and they probably want to divest 96FM ... watch this space.

    When pj has someone on he never listens to them-hes already planning his next gombeen statement -absolutely terrible to listen to -they need to replace him fast or else their advertising revenue will disintegrate.

    Agreed, not like Neil who always rambled on. Pj is the bomb...straight to the point.

    On a serious note, if 96fm stick with Pj, realistically they might as well pull the plug!! to be fair he is no broadcaster.

    I would imagine that most people in Cork are thinking ..."I could do better than that"

    Exactly. He's awful. Go to wonder if 96FM has any plans to place to replace him.
    Still, he hasn't exposed himself on a plane and come up with a non-believable excuse, so he's got at least one attribute that's better than his predecessor.

    Guys, give the guy a break, he is a human being after all
    He was jettisoned into the job at short notice
    I'm sure he will be back on the road doing his real job soon enough


    Mods any chance you could close this thread? I find the abuse he is getting here unpalatable and unjustified.

    And no, I dont know him or have any connections to him or 96fm before you ask...

    He's taking the money to do the job, he's open to criticism.
    Perhaps your correct that some comments are a bit overboard, but I doubt some messages on Boards.ie are going to bother him.

    hey magic,
    not his real job though, i think he is a reporter on the road
    what i find funny is that people who seem to dislike him on the radio STILL listen to the show...why ?

    He may be jettisoned from the job but I don't believe one can be jettisoned into a job.

    I've never liked his style; i.e. that drawn out end to a sentence just bugs me

    It's Cork's 96FM; the local station that discusses local issues. Many people will put it on no matter who presents the show.
    That's why I'm not convinced that people will now flock to RedFM and 96FM will somehow end up in the gutter.
    Dbu wrote: »

    True.
    But you'll find that some (not all) of the comments here are for those that are championing Prenderville and so will automatically take it out on PJ and 96FM.
    Others just don't like PJ for their own reasons, which may be as trivial as mine.

    I never liked pj even as a reporter. He loves the sound of his own voice and since taking over the show I have listened to it a few times. He bugged me. Fake laughter, everything's a pet hate of his. He over exaggerates too much and for the life of me I cannot understand how he can drag a 2 syllable word out to 4. I will switch to red fm when neil starts his show. For the moment today and 4 are doing grand.

    I do and did. I could equally start a thread on how the station could be perceived as taking advantage of a lovely lad.

    But it's what's on air currently is what we are discussing, it's the broadcast material.

    I've the rival station on now on all my radios, including the clock radio [eventually], so I don't hear him anymore.

    I think someone at 96fm must be reading this thread... I listened to Pj yesterday and he is like a changed man. He has certainly calmed down and gets far less excited when a caller says something vaguely interesting, while he still contributes his thoughts and opinions he is not doing so like someone yelling "chess"!!
    Despite myself, and I hate admitting it, I thought he was good.

    Sounds very like the man he replaced! Perhaps it's the chair a little sticky maybe.

    Smiles. Untill I hear he has been sanctioned for offending old women, gays, single mothers, banning the pope from his show, and gets a northern american ascent, and can get away with it ... yawn.

    Maybe a few hail marys will help too. :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
