Remember back in the old days it was mostly music? And now Edel's show is mostly talking, and so's the afternoon show ... why is that? Is it something to do with the licence, or is it something ye just wanted to do?

Just curious, no criticism, though often when I'm busy in work (which is usually) I have to turn off when there's talking cos I can't concentrate on what I'm doing
 
pearl's voice used to lull me into a chilled-out slumbery state. she never talked too much though - just enough, then onto the music
 
its cos of the stipulations of the license. There are lots of boxes that have to be ticked, such as politics, arts, irish language, news, etc.

Thats why theres a programme in Irish at 9am on a sunday morning when no one is awake.

I don't know the exact rules of the license (I'm sure they can be found somewhere) but when you apply for the license you have to tell them how you're going to fulfil each set of criteria.

They removed the Degrassi Junior High stipulation in 1997. Just after Stephanie got laid for the first time.
 
There's a certain required percentage of talk.
Hence that Carousel crap.

I think Carousel is okay. The real stinker is that stupid program on Sunday mornings about radio stations. Who the fuck is interested in that?

If that's true then that's utterly stupid. The BCI don't seem to understand that people can listen to more than one radio station. Someone needs to give those dudes a good talking to

is that about radio stations? I thought it was about boats, cos it always seemed to have people that were on boats that were getting raided by pirates or police or someone.

Either way, its not on anymore.

I like that show the kiosk, but its a pain in the hole listening to the repeat on a sunday and they askin people to text in.

Hurray for that!

Oh yeah ... it's the Kiosk I was thinking about. That can be good. Is Carousel the little insert bit that they thrown on all the time with someone reading out press releases about art shows? Yes, I think we could all live without that.
 
Why do you play so much cack?

Why are most of the presenters benni's?

Both of those could be stipulations of the licence also. Definitely the second one anyway.
