    wouldn't it be great if phantom fm decided to set up their own tv station, like mtv but much better. no crap shows like un-dressed and becoming, just playing good music on tv all the time . It would be better than watching mtv. There is probably something like it on digital, but i dont have it.

    Nah,
    Radio presenters are usually better when their voice is all you can hear. They have mullets and stuff, we better not get into it.

    Besides Country music fm's little slot on t.v. late at night satifys my appetite.

    Yeah but they can get tv presenters to do it. What time is country music on at night, should be interesting.

    I was just kidding man... the country music thing sucks.

    There is Q tv on digital and a few other alternative things...

    Honestly, I watch Dad rock kinda things on VH1. I love that station.

    Trust me lads, You don't want to see us on TV. The only bit of self respect that most of us have comes from the fact that we can pretend that we're a lot more good looking than we actually are. Television doesn't let you do that.

    You do have to admire these satellite tv shows, though. Who would have thought that you could get so many different shows based on the single premise of drunk people trying to get laid. What next, "Bettystown Uncovered"?

    What's wrong with Betty's town? I used to fancy a girl from there when I was 13.

    Paul, I have been trying to get in touch with you for a while. I sent you a band CD and I was hoping you could tell me if you received it or not...

    It's a blue cover... Calling Walter Cracker.

    Good day to you Macseamus,
    If you are interested in 'Teenage Fanclub' you should check out some of the early albums "Banwagonesque" or "Grand Prix". Two of my favourite albums are "Songs from Northern Britain" and "Howdy".

    Great band. Enjoy.

    i odnt like alt music videos really
    when im watching digital i find i watch the mainstream vids more so than the alt ones so the channel would probably be watsed on me.

    anyone seen the video with the mad lesbians in it? tatu? all the things she said. cool catchy song.

    Cheers , ill go into road records when i get the money.

    Don't you think it would interesting to try for maybe a week?
    It would take a while cos ppl would have to make videos, but you could show gigs in wheelans and other places.

    Bearing in mind that I'm on at 11am on a Sunday morning, I am VERY glad not to be televised!

    ah, a phantom television station. great idea. despite what paul "modesty" clarke says, some of the dj's don't look half bad. they could pull off television performances to be sure, to be sure. the only really good music channel on digital, i think, is VH1 classic rock. where else can you repeatedly see david bowie and mick jagger dancing in the streets, followed by david lee roth with his california girls? wonderful stuff.

    Look, if we can have Navan Community Television, and we do, for our many sins, surely we can have Phantom TV??

    Ohboyohboyohboy that would be so cool......















    (* hey did I mention I'm writing a film that probably wouldn't get shown anywhere if I did manage to film it on a budget of a tenner, two packets of Jaffa Cakes and twenty cigs? I'm sure for all the biccies the Phantom dj's can eat they'll show it at 4am)

    TV producers?! Phantom tv wouldn't have tv producers - just live and raw crazy vjs living on the edge - tho I would like to see Pete Reed dressing in drag for Snacks Fantastico...

    that could be interesting.....

    but i think to make it fair Mr. Sinister should also dress up pretty for the Show...

    it'll add a whole new demention of humour.

    unfortunatly something tells me that they dress up like that anyway....... they seem like the sort that would.....









    simply for the benifit of humour.... why else do they laugh so much durring the show...

    just because you need a few drinks to be funny doesn't mean that everyone does....



    but in reality laughing at drunk people is what being drunk is all about

    Now, now. Don't beat yourself up like that Paul. When we were in studio last week you looked like a fine strapping lad. But then again, compared to us, John Merrick is a dish, so...

    You could show crazy shows like ren and stimpy. but go nowhere near dismissed and fanatic. The morning shows would be horrible for the presenters, just think of having to be nice and smiley when you are hung over from a night of mixing drinks on a 7 hour drinking binge. the show would go like this

    'Good Morning! oh **** this im going home to bed ya ****'

    I've seen far too many people implying that they are hideous in this thread, and to be honest, its got boring, so i'd just like to say that Im ****in' beautiful!!!!!


    As for the TV channel, yeah, it'd be cool, but y'know most of the Irish bands videos would be people throwing up on the cobblestone road outside Dorans.

    If you did have a channel, would you be interested in a project im working on, its a mockumentary about Dublin Bus drivers. We've got a title (The Secret Life of Bus) and a willing, able, and hungover team!

    From what I've heard, Dismissed does go on in Whelans ;)

    And for Jackass you could just take a camera out at around 2:30-3ish on a Friday or Saturday - I'm always seeing people doing awfully silly things.

    You couldn't have undressed tho. Irish people are no good at wandering round in their underwear - the weather's too damp - everyone'd catch a chill!

    Gosh this tv station'll be great :D

    And they could send a few up and coming Dublin bands to the Blasket Islands and call it 'I want to be a celebrity get me out of here'

    I was going to suggest a minor celebrity big brother where their weekly task is to play two gigs or they don't get fed.....but hey, its too true to be funny........
