Marian Finucane (right) hosting her show in September 2016
The weekend soirees from Hell.
How they doing?
Marian went from 387,000 to 372,000 on Saturday.
Marian also fell again on Sunday – going from 322,000 to 308,000…
Oh.

In other radio news, I was reading in the Phoenix that Ivan Yates is back in town and is eager to get back on the air but that newstalk will be unlikely to change its line up until it runs for a year ending in September.
I’d love for himself and Chris to be back. Whatever stance you take on their opinions, they’ve very entertaining.
Are you trolling again?
I bet you wear Farah slacks
He was far better than the tool they have on at the moment.
Ah well. That’s really selling it to me.
I didn’t really mean it as a complement to Yates.
Glad you clarified that.
haven’t any such slacks but I can assure you that I’m a knob anyway :-)
I liked Chris n Ivan. Chris is too PC by himself: he needs Ivan throwing a spanner in the works. No matter what you think of Ivan, he’s a smart man.
I find Morning Ireland a bit po-faced.
So essentially I use Twitter for my news, reading opinions by people I agree with, therefore not expanding my world view by one iota.
Sorry. I meant to say “no matter what you think of Ivan’s politics”…
Lol
Yup really enjoyed Chris and Ivan in the mornings. Not enjoying the new newstalk lineup at all tbh, especially the morning show rota which still after 6 months have been unable to find any kind of natural rhythm and the drive time slot with chris and sarah really is just awful, sarah is really just a female version of chris and without any Ivan esque character to step on their fragile egos they just end up running away with themselves and coming across as extremely arrogant and annoying
was meant to be a reply up there ^^^^
Blueshirt FM.
I reckon the drop in ratings owes nothing to the individuals named as they do present good radio. I suggest that RTE’s new found direction in blasting us constantly with advertising in ways that would never have been countenanced only a few short years back, is the true cause of this development. I listen only to Lyric early morning these days and even there there is a creeping change.
Oh look there’s a feminist angle. Where’s Can’tPlease?
evening show sound like that radio show that was for kids in transition year in school that used to be on 2fm, or was it radio 2?
…I like Marian…when she’s on…got the big ballsey guy last week so switched off. Anytime my faith in Marian flags I just take out my iodine tablets and all is forgiven*
*millenials may not understand this reference
the iodine tablets…..like a blankie or a favourite teddy bear. good to know they are there.
Pretty sure millenials can use the Internet.

It’s just not that funny really.
What is the shelf life of those iodine tablets? I still have mine somewhere in I-don’t-really-know-where-this-goes drawer in the kitchen.
They expired about a decade ago
“RTE Women”?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Honestly though can there be any WORSE way to spend a Saturday or Sunday morning that listening to #marian or tweeting angst about it?
Mespil Road Flats indeed.
…Kenny?…Plank?…thou doth protest too much, methinks…
The finucane show is nothing more that an extension of terry prone’s public relations company. She had pat hickeys family on, justifying their ill gotten gains and demanding the government spring their corrupt father from brazil.
She also attacked Sinéad Cusack for being mother of Richard boyd barrett.
How much is Finucane paid for her service out of curiosity?
Goog aul insolvent RTE selling off the land to keep the gravy train rolling along the tracks for poor Marion and working class hero fiver friday Joe Duffy whilst at the same time lambasting bus eireann staff from a height and peddling government spin ad naseum.
Good times!
Minority Report – I could listen to Sarah all day (and all of the night), and Chris is steadily improving.
Ah but… the old days of Dunphy and Navan Man, with bits of Eamonn McCann thrown in.
We need a clear out of the clique in RTE so they can hang on to their bit of land and donate
it social housing, the don’t lecturing everyone else to have a social conscience.
tell ya what
the wireless is a great gig
sitting on your whole
talking- like doing nathin’ but just talking
and no need for hair and face
sur you could be in your jimmyjammers and slippers
and get 6 figure wages
ffs
where did I go wrong
