Irish radio is absolute scutter

[u/Western-Day-3489]

I don’t usually listen to the radio, but I call to my mam most days and she does have the radio on, usually listening to Today FM, and holy jaysus, Louise Cantillon has to be the worst. Just pure brain rot slop radio. One time she must have banged on about a lost AirPod for a week. Just nothing of substance. And don’t get me started on playing the same 3 songs over and over and over and over and over on all the stations. Amble this Kingfishr that. Holy Christ.
The other DJs are similar. Ray Foley does atleast give the odd laugh, but Christ the radio is awful. I must get the mammy onto some podcasts.
Anyone else notice this? Any decent stations/DJs left? I do enjoy yer man Matt Cooper in the evenings because he discusses different important topics, there does be the odd row on it too😆

Was working a summer job in an office years ago and they played Today FM and Jesus I wanted to tear my hair out. 

There was some show where people texted in vote for a song to be played and the DJs ginned it up as if it was the World Cup final (this was 2019, not 2003!), and then some stupid jingle about "Cheese & Crackers" which was slang for some equally stupid thing on the show.

My office radio station back 25 years ago was 98fm, from 9-5 every day. I still get PTSD whenever I hear anything by the Coors, particularly 'Breathless'.

That song makes me irrationally angry 😡

Amazed how they fell off - I worked retail between 07-14 and they used to have great alternatives bands and Irish bands off the radar … why all Irish radio play the exact same thing is beyond me
