TXFM (formerly much missed Phantom) line up

Declan A Walsh

I meant to say before that TXFM got a mention from Mark Cagney and Ciara Doherty on Thursday morning's Ireland AM on TV3. Initially, he thought it was closing that evening but then he corrected himself! He talked about the station's passion for music and expressed has admiration of John Caddell and Joe Donnelly.

How do you do that?

You right click on the playlist and select collaborate. Then send on the link to the playlist. Anyone with the link can then add to the playlist.

Is it tx only uploads or can it go back to phantom days? They would play songs on heavy rotation for a few months only to never hear from the band then after that. A few of them have been coming back to me the last while.

Maybe that's for a seperate phantom playlist....

I tuned in Friday from 4-5...is there usually so much detailed traffic updates? I hope it was because it was a bank holiday Friday. Besides that the music was decent.

Traffic updates are the whole point of the show.

what's broadcasting on 105.2 now? a dance pirate?

That playlist isn't the sound of TXFM IMO. Was grand at the start but way too much hip hop on it now and also remixes / edits of some of the more recently added tracks aren't the versions played on TX. What I liked about TXFM was you could leave it on all day and like pretty much every song. Not with that playlist, not now anyway.

You are probably hearing Energy from the Isle of Man, if music is now 'smoother' thats Smooth FM - weather conditions today allowing reception of UK stations

I've tuned the Irish station in. My little fella even commented that it was good today as he knew I was upset about TXFM closing.

Keep this openðŸ‘

Only getting to have a look at it today, there was a good bit of hip hop played on txfm, the tracks recently added to the playlist have been played on txfm numerous times so I cant see what your problem is with it

Big Nasty

I don't have an issue with it as such. Some of the content just doesn't sound TX to me. It was constructive criticism.

Last Song as Phantom: Revelate by The Frames.

Last Song for TXFM (and Phantom/TXFM for ever): The Day After the Revolution by Pulp.

I was expecting David Bowie cos they spoke a lot about him during the last hour.

You know what these people are like, if it doesn't have guitars in it, it falls outside their incredibly narrow view of alternative music

are you listening to a different playlist? there's very little hiphop on it and almost no remixes at all.
just scrolled through it all and saw 6 marked as remixes out of nearly 500 songs, and 2 of those are Primal Scream ones...

Big Nasty

It's just my opinion lads. If you don't agree that's fine. Let's move on.

In 2013 the 8Radio.com group was formed and a formal structure for 8Radio.com was born. Apart from its online presence, which is 8Radio.com’s main broadcast platform, 8Radio has applied for, and been granted, temporary FM licences to broadcast to the cities of Dublin, Galway, Cork and Limerick at weekends. The next FM broadcasts are scheduled for Dublin in November/December 2016 and across all 4 cities in February/March 2017. These FM broadcasts are intended to act as further proof of concept for the 8Radio.com format and provide an avenue for disenfranchised radio listeners to find their way back to Irish radio. 8Radio.com has targeted 7000 app downloads as well as 8000 Facebook likes and 5000 Twitter followers by the end of 2016.

Hopefully their test weekends will go well on FM. I'm sure someone will put details on here closer to the time.
