    I'd like to be able to compare but the 96fm signal is stronger all over the county than RED FM.

    I do a lot of driving and RED have a really weak signal.

    So its PJ for me!

    Red FM definitely have technical issues, I've posted on this previously and was assured that technically both stations are very similar, be-that-as-it-may, Red FM is much harder to get.

    I don't listen to 96fm anymore and I don't hear anyone talking about PJ, it's all Neil, as it always was.

    listened to Pj this morning but sounds like he's trying way too hard. Switched off. Onto Neil for awhile and he says "Man" in every sentence for 3 hours. Switched off.

    id rather sit in silence than listen to those two for 3 hour / 5 days a week

    i have been listening to Neil these past three days so maybe someone who is listening to 96fm and pj could help me out please?

    it seems from reading their twitter they are covering a new topic every few minutes or so, or at least juggling quite a lot of topics simultaneously,

    e.g today on twitter they are talking about:
    1. Autism
    2. Fermoy's Bus stop
    3. Diets
    4. who's living in a camper van in Douglas?
    5. roadworks in the city center
    6. broken street lights
    7. Mature tree's
    8. Man who was stabbed in shandon street
    9. Thor (the dog who was rescued recently)
    10. what does it take to be an irish citizen
    11. Hitting a child in public
    12. Rent/Landlords
    13. online dating


    is it actually like this on air? it just seems like an excessive amount of topics for one 3 hour show???

    how is the show going? (i would try to listen if they were doing a bit on something that was interesting to me, but between red fm,today fm and life itself, i get busy)

    Both of them bore me to tears. Switched over to Classic Hits 4FM now. Mind you - whilst Niall Boylan is on, I tend to switch back over to 96FM.

    I do not listen to PJ as a general rule. Had Niall on out of curiosity yesterday and Monday. It seemed, certainly on Monday, that there was an orchestrated campaign of people ringing and texting him to say how great he is and how great it is to have him back on air.

    Switched back to Today fm today. Enough is enough.

    Victor threw himself on the Seppuku Sword in an overly dramatic self pitying eulogy that would not have even received a commended certificate in the Feis Maitiú

    I don't see any big mistakes bar saying "it" instead of "if" and I possibly should have used "their" instead of "there"

    I just struggled to actually understand what was either been said or asked. But I got it in the end, perhaps I'm a bit thick :D

    anyway, to bring it back to topic, I don't really listen to any of them but I had 96fm on in the car the other morning (for traffic updates...I swear :)) and PJ came on the air.
    Now I've never heard of the lad before, nor do I know his background (previous shows he worked on etc) but I felt he was seriously over-dramatising things, whether this is a lame attempt at subtle humour or actually just just his manner but it sounded like he was taking the mick out of the caller's issues and/or belittling the topic as a result.

    Neither for me, just the traffic reports it is.

    Poor PJ is just not easy on the ear. Some people are interesting and can get away with yapping on... not PJ.

    Neil, somehow, gets away with it. He might be a ****** but he has the nack.

    Well, almost a week, I find it comfortable enough listening to Red FM, specifically on the mornings and specifically to Neil.

    Hmmm, I think Neil is a little watered down, is that even possible? He seems to me to be a little mellow, less himself.

    My day four assessment is that the show is still trying to get traction, I'd have thought it would be in a full blown controversy by now.

    But it's nice listening to him despite I not caring that a 27 year old virgin ~
