Some good bands but quite conservative song choices.
Which I suppose is to be expected.

listened to it for a bit in the car on friday evening (they better not still be trading as "dublin rock radio"), then again on saturday morning (totallydublin4 show. grating.)
This was good last week
yup. this one is more decent speakers and beers than headphony.
I know you probably can't. But Iggy Azalea's Fancy plays like the American anthem should be.
Worth a spin.
There's also - Freedom
Some are pre-recorded. Some are live. Pre'd that one.
I've gone from ambivalent to mildly impressed to really liking TXFM
listening to it most evenings now. The drivetime lad is really good, as is Kelly-Anne Byrne on after him.
way better than phantom anyway

I don't listen to it but bro-in-law who was regular Phantom listener says TXFM is quite a bit better

Its a bit better then Phantom alright. For this it has earned a preset button in my car
john cadell is still on it. Big black mark against them.
Dee Reddy Sunday mornings 9.00 until 12.00 noon. Gold star!
right, I've been listening for 2-3 hours most days for the past month or so and I now feel qualified to comment.
Evenings are decent. The drive-time show lad is good. Hes funny when theres someone else there with him for him to have banter with. Usually thats Kelly-Anne Byrne who is on after him. Both shows are good but suffer from they're having to stick to a far-too-rigid playlist. And that playlist is not big enough to not come across as repetitive. There are certain songs that get played on every single show, including some of the taped stuff they play late nights/early mornings (I had to do an airport run at 6am yesterday and they were still playing the same stuff). Johnny Marr, Jamie T, Ray LaMontagne, Le Galaxie, Alt-J, none of whom are terrible but none of whom are good enough for you not to get sick of pretty soon.
In general its a step up from phantom as the DJs seem better (sounder, funnier, interpret that any way you want). Musically they constrain themselves far too much IMO. I understand the need for the playlist but I think they should allow themselves a bit more rope.
I'll keep listening for another while but I'm feeling like I need a month off so there'll be different songs on next time I listen.
