They ruined the surprise (revealing Ed Sheerhan is to play Croke Park) for EVERYONE.
They must pay.
“Despite getting a phone call from FM104’s CEO Margaret Nelson confirming the embargo last night, the guys didn’t take it seriously enough.
“After a difference of opinion, Programme Director Dave Kelly went into the studio at 9am and told the presenters that due to the seriousness of their actions they would be suspended until further notice.
“The presenters have been asked, however, to facilitate their car giveaway final with Volkswagen Ireland tomorrow morning. Disciplinary action will be taken, but beyond that FM104 cannot confirm details.”
Statement from FM104
And you though you had problems.
Since when does RTE get first dibs on news? Fair play to the lads for doing it anyway
Nothing to do with dibs on news.
Many gigs are built up to make an announcement at one time to ensure the biggest impact and when one station runs off on it’s own the effect is more scatter gun then cannon when trying to achieve cut through, if you know what I mean. If I were Aiken’s I’d be livid.
I loved this bit… referring to the Strawberry alarm clock as “edgy”.
It’s enough to make Colonel Kurtz’s snail complain that the razor wasn’t sharp enough :)
Analogy of the month winner right there:)
*blushes*
I’ve changed my mind on this…. I’m going with publicity stunt…. complete switcheroo that :)
Strawberry Alarm… is still poo tho
to the labour court!!
What news?
Adults who like Ed Sheeran have poor taste.
This is a fact.
Agreed. I mean it’s not even like you say you don’t like his music but secretly you do, like say when ‘and the player’s gonna play play play play play’ comes on the radio and everyone just blasts it up and gets their sass on. It’s nothing like that.
FOr a horrible second I thought you were going to pooh pooh Shake it off.
Not on my watch buddy!
Reminds me of a tweet by Rob Delaney:
“I’m too old for this sh!t*.
*Pretending I don’t like Coldplay.”
Publicity stunt. Please delete this information from your data storage.
This is also a fact.
Never heard of them.
Not sure what’s more ridiculous: this “story” constituting news or someone referring the Strawberry Alarm Clock as “edgy”
+1 Annoying more than anything.
What is this about. What did they do.
They can’t tell us. It’s embargoed.
FM104 is by far the worst radio station in the country and only people of a certain intellect enjoy it. its not premitted on any radio in my house
Joe, you live in hostel. We’ve talked about this. Acceptance will help with the delusions.
Wacky Craaaaazy Breakfast DJ’s……. A groundbreaking formula.
Looks like those clowns in congress did it again…..what a pack of clowns.
How do you stay on top of the news like that?
Don’t praise the machine!
*Clown Horn*
Maybe the croke park residents will build statues to these men for risking their jobs to reveal this information?
Apparently many Bothans died to bring us these plans.
how many gigs in croker? 14? not on your nellie!!
JIm JIm is much much fatter than that cartoon would lead me to believe
What self respecting person calls themself Jim Jim??
Ugh, blatant PR twittery. These two half-wits will be back after few days ‘suspension’.
Is the Dave
The Dave, is. Very much so.
The Dave abides.
Is the Dave lad in charge the same Dave that did a publicity stunt on the show regarding falling off a ladder on Valentine’s about 20 years ago?
Ah here.
Warning
Annuder #GetOverYerselves coming up
How the ück is a lad playing a gig, ok, popular lad and big gig, good for Dublin stuff. But still. How the ück is a gig announcement treated as News anyway.
Its a tour date announcement. Not a matter of National Security !!!!
Embargoed News? GTF.
unless Ted is also donating his kidney to a child in Temple Street and wants to keep it to himself and have some peace and quiet as he recovers. Then an embargo had some qualification.
I remember Margaret Nelson when she worked in Cork
A bitta’ of drama always about her alright
