Today FM Megathread Mod warning post #1 / #1401

This. There's a reason I'd not heard Blink 182 in 20-something years, until Ed's show became Ed Smith's Today FM rocks. Though apparently some people must still like them, cos they're on tour again!

Nadine O Regan was filling in on Rising Time on RTE over the weekend.

It's a great show by the way, a quick bit of chat followed by music. Rinse and repeat.

I find it amazing that Today FM let herself and Louise Duffy go and have kept some of the presenters who are on weekdays and at weekends.

Its just their current oldie, they tend to do this.

Pick out a few old classics, and then they are played across various shows for a month or so, then ditched again for new ones.

Well he is covering his show so I’d expect plenty of mentions of the guy he’s currently covering for. TodayFM also persist with playing the jingles of the presenter too when the presenter in question is absent.

I’ve wondered why they haven’t found a more regular slot for Quilty. He seems to have gone from very occasional Christmas time cover to being the main super-sub across the schedule. Maybe it suits him to be filler-in guy rather than having some off-peak weekend show? Didn’t he quit 98 FM to go off and become a musician? Guess that hasn’t really worked out.

He’s probably a natural fill-in for Foley as his style is fairly similar. In fairness I think he’s ok, not the worst voice on the station.

I had to change stations this morning when I heard Louise Cantilon. It’s very hard to listen to her scratchy hoarse voice early in the day.

More Sinead O Connor songs on 1 hour of Today FM that I listened to today than in the last 5 years on the station.

Pity they wouldn't have celebrated her music when he was alive.

It was similar when Bowie died. And Terry Hall last Christmas. They are all tributes and how great was such and such for a day or two. And then it'll go back to same auld sh1te music again.

Tara Walsh didn’t leave Bauer for 2fm. She left to become a ‘creative strategist’ for GreenCastle Media. She probably just wants some cover shifts to keep herself in radio. Shannon Keenan’s Instagram bio says she’s at Spin, 98Fm and Today Fm but it’s not clear what she’s doing

Wow, should they chain him to the desk and make sure he doesn't take any time off?

Shannon’s doing showbiz across the Bauer stations, I’ve also heard her on the Spins.

Is Shauna off? Tara Walsh filled in for her when she wasn’t in (or maybe this was before Shauna came back). Tara would have done the showbiz news on Spin at the time
