    Let's start with the declaration that this radio station has 'something for everybody.':rolleyes:
    Come on boardsies. What sort of cr@ppie programs would this station have. What would the goon presenters say? What kind of ads would go on it? What would be this stations slogan?

    Isnt there a marketing/surveys forum?

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    I'd bring back all the 252 DJs that have sadly disappeared into obscurity, Sandy Beech, Dusty Rhodes, Robin Banks, Rick O'Shea. I wonder what became of them all.

    Are you the MD of 98fm / 104fm and looking for new ideas?

    Good suggestion whiskeyman, I'm not but maybe I'd like to be one of those actors employed to ring in as a consultant expert whatever.

    The last I heard is Sandy Beech is all washed up, Dusty Rhodes went nowhere, Robin Banks is in jail and Rick o'Shea is in a mental home bouncing off the walls.

    Witty AND pertinent, very good.

    Whoever that dickhead they have on 2fm in the morning would be a great start. Anyone on cool fm as they are all terrible. That pick Grimshaw from BBC R1, he has a very appropriate name because his show is fūcking GRIM.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 72,412 ✭✭✭✭L1011


    Rick O'Shea is on 2fm, Dusty is trying to push for a DAB launch.

    Just hire everyone on 2FM and have them talk gibberish all day.

    ...so tell them to keep doing that they're doing then?

    A two hour program in the morning for housewives, with human interest stories, recipes, a weekly survey of supermarket prices.
    I have a presenter in mind who lives in Howth.

    A daily soap opera set in a hotel.

    Absolutely no ex member of any boy band to be let within 1 mile of the studio.

    Forgot to add Hugo Duncan & Stephen Nolan.

    Radio djs really are cretins. One in ten is tolerable

    nearly forgot about the Roadcaster vehicle.

    This is a dirty, 1990's Leyland Doubledecker.

    does anyone else suspect Ruth Scott has no time for that Paddy fella, at all?

    Ruth Scott is great, very naturally funny.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,959 ✭✭✭gugleguy


    I think that 2FM's frequency should be taken over, so you tune into this schtinker instead.:)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,813 ✭✭✭chrysagon


    id rather listen to re-runs of the angelus than to some of the DJs on radio

    JESUS ****IN CHRIST.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,147 ✭✭✭PizzamanIRL

    So.....nominate your dj's . And chat show hosts.......why not boardsies that annoy you.
    except me.:P....shouldn't be that difficult. Pirate stations found leccy power easily enough..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,785 ✭✭✭KungPao


    All I know is we need more phoney American accents on our airwaves.

    DJ's would be hard to pick out of the boardsies on here, because I don't know who has an American twang on them and who doesn't. There has to be some sort of algorithm you can run on a voice sample to check for Americanness

    For chat show I would say: Wibbs, The Backwards Man and bluewolf.

    Cupcake_Crisis would be my newsreader


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,959 ✭✭✭gugleguy


    What kind of boardsie would call in. .. let me see..

    Srameen...nobody has any backbone anymore. we're now all sissies.

    Dudara.... If it breaks on us it's our fault. Tough luck.

    Just came across him(so to speak) and have been informed it's a bank holiday weekend three times in about two minutes?
    Why do they all have to constantly inform people when the weekend,bank
    holiday,Christmas is here???

    He's still doing it!

    How about one set-up in the west of Ireland where every presenter had a strong English accent

    There needs to be a website for this station. Lots of junk to download.
    How about ,'rock band manager,' software only this is the game 'rockstar ate my hamster ' as sold for the zx spectrum repackaged.

    Mr E is the site admin.
