WE ALL LISTEN to the radio at some point every day.
But, what do you know about the wireless?

If it isn’t Nova, I don’t listen to it.
Paul..Paul..Paul…How many times have we readers told you? Enough of these idiotic articles as you’ve reached a new low with this one. I can see an intervention coming your way unless you cop yourself on a little old chap! We’ll have to rescind your NUJ membership.
@Andrew Giles: the radio is terrible, all it is just ads and then some clown talking utter crap and thinking he’s funny no thanks.
Today Fm used to be worth listening to before they put those two muppets who think they’re comedians on and then followed them with not so propper porter. The only ones worth tuning into now are Ian and maybe at a push Matt but it’s internet radio or spotify for me mostly these days.
@Declan Moran: absolutely couldn’t agree any more. You hit the nail on the head.
Still missing TXFM
@Michael Donnelly: big time, but in its absence I found bbc radio 6 and haven’t looked back since.
@Peter Pistolé: what frequency is that?
@Michael Donnelly: True, try radio8 online. Think same people behind it.
@Peter Pistolé: you wouldn’t look back either listening to B.B.C Radio 2. (88-91f.m.) Conte porary and vintage pop. During the week, 12-2p.m. Jeremy Vine does the nearest thing to Open University broadcasts. Entertainment, information and interesting phone-ins.
@Michael Donnelly: still missing phantom, feel sad hearing Richie McCormack on newstalk
@Michael Donnelly:
The day Jesus and,myself wept.
It’s mostly 8radio now when at home and Nova whilst working.
And now they take Conor and Marty from us!!!!!!
@Michael Donnelly:
Ps
I have the TXFM plaque from the studio proudly hanging on my wall at home.
Sorry,can’t post a pic.
#ciarakellyout
She’s brutal
@Cathal: yeah but George Hook is a rape apologist so you are stuck with Ciara
@martobaby: She has the single most boring show on the radio.
More subtle data mining.
@Paraic McDonagh:
So, no one put a gun to your head as they say.
@P.J. Nolan: That’s why I used the word subtle. Would you be fine of your house was burgled while you were at work because ‘hey, no one put a gun to my head’.
John Creedon radio 1 class
Whatever happened to Christmas FM?
Thought that was good
What I know about Irish radio is that its Shitx
I used to listen to Newstalk.
Its dreadful now.
Esp Gender Quotas Ciara Kelly is the worst.
The rest is elevator music with OMG im sooooo funny DJs
@The Grand Nagus: agreed it used to be good but Ciara Kelly drives away any male listeners it once had. Awful show.
@Greg Kelly: agree… She is awful.
Will Leahy on RTÉ gold, who needs FM
@Dara Smith: why is RTE gold not on FM..it is great music with few DJ interruptions.
Pat Courtney some sickner on Nova
Paul Williams horrific on Newstalk
@Decky: Paul williams and Ciara Kelly both need to get the chop.
Lots of Dublin questions there. Do you guys get out of “town” much?
@Noel Barnes: I thought it was fairly well balanced. Remember, most Dublin stations can be tuned into as far away as Longford. I reckon half the country can tune in.
I got zero. I don’t listen to the radio so just did it to see if my guessing skills are up to scratch. Which they ain’t apparently…..
@WJH: Irish people listen to a lot of radio
Two trick questions there, Journal people – asking us to identify Adrian Kennedy & Dermot & Dave in photographs! Irish radio is about sound, not vision – leave the visuals to reality TV types. I love Irish radio, esp. local radio!
Irish radio is largely a pile of steaming garbage, especially national stations. Loudmouth presenters straining to be funny and promote their TV shows, ‘journalists’ who are either incompetent or incredibly biased, rubbish content and non-stop adverts. There’s a few noble exceptions, and local/regional radio can pleasantly surprise you from time to time, but Irish radio is rough.
@Aindriú de Domhain:
Go on name the noble ones.
Don’t hold back
If I’d known it was just for Dublin I wouldn’t have bothered
Dermot and Dave …two complete legends
I don’t listen to Irish radio
@wiggy: that’s great!
Spin 1038 all the waaaaay!
@CC: A Dennis O`Brien station, thanks , but no thanks
@Pearse Mc Mullen: good tunes, that’s all I want!
This is Dermot and Dave. Which one would you like to punch in the face most?
News every hour or half hour is so annoying..wish there were more news free radio stations.

100.3 fm for me,
No need to go anywhere else
0/10. I have no idea who any of the presenters are and I’ve never heard of any of the stations either. Then again, I’ve never listened to the radio and I don’t have any equipment that can receive a radio signal.
@Jessica O’Sullivan: You have never listened to the radio? You have never been anywhere,parents house,friends house,petrol station or shop that the radio has been on?
Same song same time different day . I know what I need to know to not listen to it .
6/10 but who’s counting.
Irish radio is utter cr@p since TXFM left the airwaves.
@Ciara Ni Mhurchu: Give 8Radio (.com or the app) a go. Think you’ll like it
Muireann is on which stations on which days? I just remember her leaving 98FM recently where she did Saturday shows. But she’s on TodayFM was well, is it?
Also what is it meant by the highest FM frequency in Ireland?
I take it this quiz is only for the Dubs! As most of those questions are about Dublin radio only a dub would know…..
BBC Radio 2 or Absolute 80s please
Nova what a joke. I’ve been painting a house for the last few weeks. As soon as the arsehole can’t think of his name. 3pm. Pat Courtney.i change over 2 classic hits BBC radio
Irish radio is dreadful.I listen BBC radio 2 and 4
All you hear on Irish radio is PROBLEM CHATS. The more problems the higher the rating
If you scroll the radio during the day it is hard to find good music
What kind of people are we
have your say
