I don't think louise Duffy has a voice for radio at all tbh.

Agreed. She sounds like she is talking down to the listener.

Should Tony return to Today FM, LD would be more suited to a weekend chart show....

And why's that? Obviously I wish Tony all the best, I am a long time Today FM listener but he's my least favourite DJ there, his presenting style is hugely outdated.

Louise is a fresh voice and the show is improving all the time. Why would she suit a chart show, she plays great music from a variety of genres. Tony plays chart music with added Bruce Springsteen.

She needs to stop saying " sure listen c'mere"

Louise just confirmed today is the last in her lunch time slot. She'll take a couple of weeks off and then come back to "fill in for the wonderful Tony Fenton".

This obviously means they are holding the spot open for Tony. Hopefully that means his recovery is going well and he intends to return.

Dermot & Dave on now.

Let's hope I'm wrong but maybe he's not doing too well and if they cancel his show without him making an announcement himself then the listeners will put two and two together and realise he's not great.
So maybe they'll say she's filling in until Tony is ready to make an announcement and then she'll take over full time.
Also very interesting what Ian said while talking to Dermot and Dave just now that there's a new show lined up for Louise that all the insider's know about but they can't say anything.

Really? Practically the same things on most days at near enough the same time.

I wonder might they be planning to move the last word over to Newstalk ?

Why would they do that?

Im only guessing here because of what Ian Dempsey said. Also George Hooke has said he is retiring in the next year.

I've been told Louise is getting the 7pm gig. Not sure if Colm O'Sullivan is coming off air, or moving to a later/weekend slot. He's involved with the programming in there so is probably busy enough.

jimmyw · 01-09-2014 9:30pm

Louises profile is gone from the site so maybe they are afraid to put her profile up instead of Tony's profile for fear of it been seen as disrespectful.

Though hers was there all along until now.

Cork_chick_94 · 01-09-2014 9:34pm

Is early breakfast still vacant ? No presenter listed on website

Well it's great to hear that they are expecting tony fenton back so... I wonder though why move Louise Duffy around the schedule so much ? and surly the 7-9pm show is a big step down from lunchtime ?

philthrill69 · 01-09-2014 10:25pm

Ah poor auld Louise, why would they mess her around so much and give her the lunchtime slot when essentially she was only keeping the seat warm for D&D.
It felt a little rushed originally when she went from AA road watch girl to the early slot and even more rushed when she took over lunchtime when dermot was the bookies favourite.
I wonder did KC leave in an awful rush to make the new red fm Launch which left today fm in a heap?
They had that whole She's really a bitch ad campaign and everything and all for what?
It makes no sense.
Someone else who is getting a little big for her boots is Esther O'Moore Donohoe, I can't stand her "banter" with Iano! I think there could be a push there soon.
Hopefully Galvin won't take the ring back, after all he's only interested in prime time abs the limelight.

philthrill69 · 04-09-2014 1:24pm

Well she ain't getting the early breakfast gig back anyway. http://www.todayfm.com/earlybreakfast

That's Teresanne O'Reilly, she's very good. Good radio voice, comfortable on-air and plays a good mix of music. Very pretty girl too, definitely NOT a face for radio! :P

Teresanne started out on Beat in the South East a couple of years ago, and was on the afternoon show til last Christmas. Great presenter.

Cork_chick_94 · 12-09-2014 5:49pm

Now that Tony Fenton's return is confirmed. i don't think its right that Louise is filling in because the listeners are going to get confused by all her moving around the schedule.

Colm O'sullivan was recently made assistant manager of Today Fm so he might just do one show at the weekend or something.

siblers · 12-09-2014 10:52pm

Really liked Colm's show, very easy going and he had pretty good craic on air with Ed Smith and Paul McLoone. Louise was great during the daytime as she played such good music and Colm played pretty decent music too, Dermot& Dave and Tony Fenton play pretty safe daytime music so it's kind disapointing to lose out on a more alternative playlist during the daytime.

November. On hearing him at the PPI HoF awards I'm very worried he might not be in a condition to do it for long although I hope I'm being overly pessimistic.

No, it wouldn't be regarded as a prime time slot and Ian Dempsey has previously stated that she is remaining in a prime time slot but can't say at the moment.

Either:
- they are reinterpreting 7-10 as a prime time slot (but it won't be really)
- tony will retire or move to a w/e slot
- matt cooper will move to newstalk, thus creating a clear division between music and talk between their 2 national stations. But then the whole George Hook thing will need to be discussed. I think this is a viable option but not for another year or so.
- she is given a prime time slot at the w/e ( again not really prime time)
- they have truly shafted Louise.

Maybe when today fm say "primetime slot" they mean anything but the 5am show.

reg114 · 14-09-2014 3:32pm

I'd say she would still be happy to be on the national airwaves 5 days a week.

wnolan1992 · 14-09-2014 6:33pm

I don't think she really fits in the 7pm slot tbh. I've always thought of that as more a new music style, (more or less what Colm O'Sullivan does and what KC did before him). Louise plays decent music, but I don't think her knowledge of music (based on her lunchtime show) is good enough to carry a show like that.

Unless they're just going to dispense with that format and just let her do a version of the lunchtime show in the evening.

ford fiesta · 14-09-2014 7:50pm

you can tell she's bluffing when it comes to music, sadly like a lot of young presenters these days

Cork_chick_94 · 14-09-2014 8:08pm

Maybe they will give her saturday mid morning or sunday lunchtime as well as the evening show ? That way they can dress it up as her having a primetime slot.

nc6000 · 19-09-2014 9:42am

I see Today FM are now calling the 14.30-16.30 slot The Tony Fenton Show with Louise Duffy.

I joint show??

Never considered that possibility

Horse84 · 19-09-2014 2:34pm

What happened to Lenny is he still producing or is Tony's producer still in that slot. Heard Ann gleeson on during the week so she's still involved.

I was wondering that also, I'm hearing waaay too much of (I'm one of the lads, I'm so natural and laid back) Ann Gleeson, she's exhausting and acting like she's better than Louise and could be running the show but decided not too. Moderator: edited to remove disgraceful comment.
