Best radio station in Waterford

deadybai

Seen as its Beat 102-103's 10th birthday today I was just wondering what radio station is the most popular in Waterford City and its surrounding areas. I personally like 2fm the most but seem to always be turning on Beat for the tunes.

What are your preferences?

There is more than that on Waterfords Airwaves.

Same for me except for the newstalk lol. I usually get my lunch at 1 o clock for a hour so I listen to Larry Gogans Golden hour on 2fm. In my opinion thats the best show on radio.

But I think its fair to say that Beat have the best breakfast show. I hate the way beat has basically a full half hour of ads and new when it gets to half past the hour.

decies

Radio DSBC for all your Waterford Wolves and Waterford Utd Away matches .

I'd be a Today FM listener for most of the day, but I do listen to Beat's Breakfast show and I'll put on Beat's Andy Mac on the way home in the evening for a few tunes if Matt Cooper is too depressing.

I'm very surprised with today fm leading. Matt Cooper can be very interesting at times but I still would have thought that Will Leahys more music drive on 2fm would have been the most popular drive home show.

The latter is the best quality, the first is lowest bitrate, for mobile use, the middle is a compromise.

Newstalk all the time except for Matt Cooper on Today FM ahead of George Hook and then I'd listen to Paul McCloone if I happened to be in the car when he's on. If Beat ceased to exist in the morning I wouldn't even notice.

.Henry Sellers.

No ABC Power 104 in the poll? :pac:

IMHO - WLR = What a Load of Rubbish

7.30a.m. rte 1 - morning Ireland if I can stand it, If not Ian Dempsey on Today FM!
9.00a.m. rte 1 John Murray good but M.I.A. - Miriam O'Callaghan - nice to look at but dose of ire on the radio so switch to Newstalk until lunchtime or Ray D'Arcy on Today FM until he gets on my nerves.
1p.m. Back to RTE1 for Sean O'Rourke's lunchtime news.
1.45p.m. Talk to Joe - NO! Switch to Today FM Tony Fenton, Matt Cooper, Paul McLoone - class.
Would like to listen to local stations a bit more for local news/topics but the music is usually woeful.
But then I'm at that funny age.:)

The experimental music show Nova on a Sun night can be good. Otherwise occasionally.

Yeah same goes for Rte Rnag (which I forgot to include). Some of them night time shows have great tunes on them.

Dempsey in the morning, Darcy till 12, wont listen to the radio until Moncrieff comes on then wont listen again until Off The Ball. Beat FM is a sh*te station with pop crap rotating every few hours. WLR is for the old folks of Waterford who love listening to see who is after dying.

Then really how the fúck was he supposed to know about it?

Jesus Christ. I'd go out on a limb here (yeah . .) and guess that 99% of people here haven't heard of it.

Beat is probably the cheesiest radio station iv ever heard with more ads than an american sports channel, they try waaaay to hard to be funny and cool for the younger audience.
WLR is by far the worst of the lot playing the same awful songs at the same time every day for the week for all the crusties.

I'll wager you are wrong (and as an interloper from South Tipp I wouldn't expect you to have heard of it).
