    So is anyone else starting to think Ruth Scott might be joining as Al Porter's long term replacement? She's gone from Radio Nova so I think that is a heavy clue.

    Of all the unlikely scenarios you pull from your rear end, that one is right up there.

    How do you mean? It would be a nice reunion with former 2FM colleague Ian Dempsey and I think Ruth would fit the weekday schedule PERFECTLY. I would be surprised if she doesn't get it.

    The chances of that are less than zero. There is no logic to suggest otherwise. Where on gods earth do you pull these ideas from?!

    This isn't a long weekend?

    Both had Christmass holidays. Dave out sick for a week in February. both on holidays for 2 weeks in march. Dermot in us for a week in april/may.

    They'll probably have few weeks off in summer too.

    Maybe they're not full time employees!

    It's just a suggestion. I have no idea if Ruth has left Nova permanently or not, but if it is a big name they want for that slot, she would be an excellent choice. I can't see Muireann lasting very long in that slot. Ruth would be a far better choice in my opinion. I don't see anything to suggest she wouldn't get it. If Today FM can't get her, or if she doesn't return to Nova, where can she go?

    No offence, but Today FM have been getting rid of older presenters over the past 3 years, not taking them on..

    Unfortunately it seems Muireann and the likes is what they want. She's here to stay, same with "ferg".

    Local radio is the way to go. I highly recommend Declan Coupes on Limerick live 95 from 12pm every day, unbelievable selection of music will have you singing along all afternoon no matter what age you are .

    Corks RedFM another good example of good radio, Ray Foley is firing on all cylinders back at RedFM.

    Paula on instead of Muireann. Hopefully it's permanent.

    I throw Foley's podcasts on as soon as Muireann gets on my nerves. Himself and Jay are gas together

    Was in the car for all of 8 mins after work on the way to the post office, the entertainment section on TLW was on. They were doing some review of best serial killer films, but they had barley started before they managed to shoehorn in an apology by the silence of the lambs writer/director/producer? for something or other thay was deemed transphobic. Was of no relevance to at all to anything discussed before or after.

    It feels like trolling at this stage

    The movie and TV slots are unbearable for their politically correct crap. They almost never discuss their actual subject, just feminist left wing rubbish to show how right on they are. The week trending on Friday is often just three journalists agreeing with eachother on how racist, sexist and homophobic everything is.

    Pity Matt wouldn't grow a pair and challenge his contributors. Doubt it will happen now, he wants to be down with the kids.

    it's wrecking my head, they have back ground music going for the news and sports reports. really feels like the news is on a timer to get done as quickly as possible. part of the general dumbing down of the station and the crisis of me identity being suffered at the moment. they are trying to be young and hip in going for the likes of muireann and ferg but hold the more middle aged after work market in the last word which is also suffering through a dumbing down. there's no natural flow to the daily schedule now.

    I thought it was only me that had picked up on that. I’ve never heard anyone to talk so much about their childhood and adolescence and school and college years. It’s just unbelievable. I find it really strange. He never stops talking about it.

    It can't be as bad as Fergal's intro music!

    I'm the same.. There was a period that I was not enjoying the station as much, but still would have had it on the car for short journeys etc. Don't bother anymore.. anything except Today FM will do me now. Shame ..

    The other morning the jingle was played for the news, the sport and the traffic news all in the space of 5 minutes.

    They had a segment yesterday about what year it was when you were 14 or something. Almost every text read out the texters were 14 in the 80s and 90s

    And Dempseys chart rewind, the older songs always seem to win the text vote.

    Why then is there programming aimed at 18-24 year olds. It's baffling!
