Like a lot of people here, I listen to certain things only......Friday Night Rock Show and OTR. And since John Clarke went from his normal Sunday morning slot, I listen even lesss.

I used to be a constant listener and have Nova as my alarm but no longer. There is no way I would want to wake up to those fúckwits on the morning show.

My daily listen is now planet rock or bandit or 8radio. But not Nova


RIP good music

I used to listen to Nova but I’ve completely stopped for the following reasons

1. I find their imaging awful -does anyone other than someone in Castleforbes really think it’s funny ? I’ve yet to meet anyone

2. It isn’t a rock station in any definition - how it still holds a rock licence is a mystery to me

3. The breakfast show - does anyone like it - to me it’s pathetic . Nova does believe in it but guys come on ....

4. Each to his / her own but Ruth Scott ? Her knowledge of music seems to come from google and she talks endlessly . There’s an old saying in radio that if you’ve nothing to say , say nothing ! It’s good advice

When it first came on air I listened pretty much all day but today and I kid you not neither I nor anyone I know listens anymore .

What a shame

Doesnt apply to nova...it did at the start, there were rules about time limits on talking between tracks but thats long changed....he decided that smutty childish "humor" and google waffle was more important than actual music, hence hearing every track they play on other stations...and promoting his show at every ad break was compulsary

I don't listen to Nova anymore, is it a big amount?

We all know at this stage Branners has no say in any thing that goes on at nova...."back in yer box Kevsy..theres a good little puppet."....:p
When i see them together i always think of Laurel and Hardy for some reason.....

Do you ever get tired of the constant Nova bashing Max?

You are worse than a woman scorned and I am wondering why you just can't let it go.

Life is short, build a bridge and all that.

They are really turning into a joke version of themselves now. Or they are trying to cater to airheads that don't actually care about music......well, we know that since the morning muppets are still there

Is that the same person as before or is it the second female presenter to take an unfair dismissal case against them.

Same person

Im fecking delighted for them. I have boycotted them since March since they shot themselves in the foot and axed Irelands Biggest Jukebox. They wouldnt know good music if it bit them on the arse, John Clarke was the last best DJ and now the station has gone to ****e, good riddance.

Hayes and Kennedy get to go to Japan while the rest of them get to sing Karaoke in a bar in Dublin on Monday night?

Homer

Hard to believe that they have the neck to be pi$$ing away money sending those two off to Japan whilst they owe substantial amounts of money to many different parties! Just shows the character of that shyster Branigan I suppose.

Really enjoying Greg's show at nights but I'd love it if he could do a 90s show on Saturday nights.

I wouldn't put all the blame on him. The money's just going towards the station being as poppy as it can be.

Nothing to do with Branigan..Haze told him he's going to Japan..end of...look on it as a going away present.....:D

I can’t believe that they haven’t paid that dj the 30k yet .... it’s been to court twice and nova are still dragging their heels !! Mind boggling.
How much revenue would nova make on ads per year ... how many staff have they on their books.
Seems like it’s running at a loss but yet it’s still going. If my corner shop runs at a loss , it shuts down.

It's interesting how Jack Hyland, former colleague from Phantom of the deejay in question (Sinead Ni Mhordha), is now on weekends on Nova. When he first got involved with Nova, Sinead was there. Sometimes he filled in for her.

Fond memories of it Declan, fond memories.

I heard a bit of Jack over the weekend both on Saturday and Sunday. He can be quite funny at times. It's not the "over and under" type humour (sorry Pat C!), which is no harm!

Was listening back to Clarkie's spoken bits last Sunday morning... biggest highlight was when he was about to play a cover with the old "look what they done to my song" intro ... before then stopping himself and saying "but of course I'll just get a memo on Monday saying 'John, nothing from the jukebox is to be remembered here!" ... beautiful. Even he knows what he's in atm. Lol! Hopefully he can depart before it's too late. He kept referring to "Bob" and constantly bringing up life survey statistics... awful. Only good dialogue was when he recalled interviewing Bruce Springsteen about a decade ago and how nervous Bruce seemed at the time and still does...

I listened to only one of JCs shows after he got bumped. It was a bloody disgrace. Yet another nail in the Nova coffin. Such a total lack of respect for a decent DJ and a lovely person.

No doubt he is one of the dunce Hayes imaginary friends.. it’s typical of the drivel he has come up with since he joined and started dragging Nova into the sh1tter

That interview was more like 25 years ago when John was producing The Ian Dempsey breakfast show on 2FM

Those ads with that stupid voiceover guy are actually driving me insane. I enjoy the music on Nova (moreso than any other station anyway), but I can feel my stress levels rising every time I hear that irritant come on and spout some inane ****e during an ad break.

Someday this rock station might play an Iron Maiden song during the afternoon-evening prime time, in between Tom Petty and Bruce Springsteen for the billionth time.

How many times have you heard Iron Maiden on Nova? I'm sure they play them a good bit.

I'm sure they don't and I might have heard them once during the afternoon-evening (Number of the Beast a few years ago). Tony Ainscough has played them a few times on his Friday night slot.

Tony plays them a lot. Never heard them played during primetime. Think John Clarke played them more than any of the daytime slots. They are probably scared in case they get letters complaining about the satanic music

heard that several times. I would not know much of their stuff but am guessing they stick to to the same 2-3 songs.

Springsteen -dancing in the dark, warfarer, glory days
Petty - learning to fly, running down a dream

If they do a 90s show on Saturday nights (my idea), who do you think should present it? I may have asked this before. Should they stick with Greg Gaughran?
