Today FM Megathread Mod warning post #1 / #1401

I've entered it occasionally, usually when Vodafone give me free credit. I don't spend my own money on it.

It's not in any way realistic to imagine a conspiracy, though. All it would take is one mistake or one disgruntled employee and there'd be huge reputational damage to the stations and Bauer.

You do realise the terms and conditions on their website state the end date for the competition? The last day of that period is always a guaranteed winner.

They usually have a guaranteed winner the Friday before a bank holiday, a random prize for the weekend and then after the bank holiday they usually have a big prize that runs across the rest of the week, €100k or something.

If you genuinely believe they’re rigging it to have a bigger prize on the Friday, report them to whichever commission is over competitions and scams.

I don't want voice notes from any members of the general public on any radio show. Classic Hits had a lad doing one today and he was obviously chewing gum as he spoke, rotten.

Turned it off straight away this eve.Cheap radio.

Zara has done a few few shifts and is as bad as Brianna Parkins when she subbed in.

Awful.

There has been an element of Matt himself which has made me switch away from TLW.

He's not the host he was maybe 5 or 10 years ago. A pale shadow.

The standard of guests and contributors has dropped off badly too.

Not to mention the cash machine and the 5 @ 5, 6 @ 6 etc.

This is not the first time that the cash machine has been referred to in this thread.

In case that some do not realize, this is across all the Bauer Media owned stations and is not a specific Today FM competition. All the stations concerned, including Newstalk, have to mention it at least hourly. The clue is the phrase: "you are playing across the Go Loud network of stations". Many may have switched off (literally or metaphorically!) before then!

Again, if you do not know already, there is a thread about the cash machine:

I think Roe is one of the best she has long jumped the shark but is still commited to the bit. Any time she starts rambling about consent and predatory males is twice as funny as before. She has the awareness of a deaf and blind pigeon.

You could be missing out on her expert analysis of why Thomas the Tank Engine is the misogynistic poster child of the patriarchy.

Yes agree Last word gone the the dogs.Only tune in for sport and couple of contributors. Between adds,cashmachine,news bulletins it's hard to listen straight true and for the culture club pure rubbish.

Is JP of the Ray Foley show single again? He was engaged but mentioned a couple of times recently about being on dating apps.
