Stu Peters Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 3 hours ago, parchedpeas said: Did Stu really get into radio to do a late night show so he could play Sugababes at half after midnight? I was hoping for a lot more Stu and a lot less of the musak. That was a bit of a cheat. My eldest daughter is getting married on Saturday and apparently 'their song' is Push The Button (I daren't ask!). Middle daughter asked me to record a bit of video of something to do with the song, so I was busy mugging for the camera whilst playing that. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have only met one person who ever had that LP. When I go out on a Saturday Night I often ask people have they got the 99 Red Balloons LP. I keep it with my liver and bacon collection. I don't have it, but I do have Aneka's (Japanese Boy) lp, Aneka. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you get 'Stu's Crew' going - that's the kind of late night listening that would interest me, light-hearted but opinion driven chat. Then you can have as many Sugababes songs as you like. Wish you all well for Saturday, and for the show going forwards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gettafa Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 (edited) The programme controller Alex Brindley is, quite simply, a man-child. That is just a simple fact - listen to his show, He has a job to do and he is doing it as he feels fit. He has little or no knowledge or interest in politics. More the theatre and the 'luvvie' based aspects of the Island for him. (You ever hear him doing news, interviews or articles on Mandate for example?). He has got rid of any talent in this respect. Stu's been happily put out to pasture on the graveyard slot, James Davis went to a company where he would be appreciated. The Manx Radio morning output has gone from being a useful service to being a couple of kiddies larking about. Where's Wootton? Where's Mossie? more like (eta: at Tynwald). At least he could have a bit of a grin and attempt to be serious when required. The new lot don't do serious, presumably on the direction of Boss Brindley. I can only imagine that the dumbed down changes are at the instigation of the Government's spin-doctoring cabal ("Hi guys xxx"), they know exactly how Manx Radio works and which buttons to press. Mr Brindley's ego button is easily accessible. Besides, they have ultimate control of the cash.

ecobob Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 (edited) On 10/14/2019 at 9:40 AM, Albert Tatlock said: A large retrograde step for MR this change IMO. Bring back Mandate and keep it to more in-depth questions that people want their politicians, individuals or organisations etc. to answer or be accountable for. MR lost me as a supporter this morning. This dumb down exercise will be loved by those issuing government press releases and those not wanting to answer awkward questions. I listened for a bit this morning for the first time and that was my thought too. How very convenient now that there is no platform now for interviewers to speak to politicians, CEO’s, top civil servants etc and for us to hear their replies. Very convenient. In fact, if MR got their money from the government one might almost think it was deliberate... Wasn’t it only last year that there was talk of government wanting to shut MR down? Sounds horribly like a deal was done. Take the heat off, stop asking us awkward questions, and play some music instead.

Stu can no longer get away with that daguerreotype he had taken on his way off to the Crimean War. Unfortunately some genius decide that there must be some sort of corporate uniformity[1] and so they must all wear open-necked plain white shirts in the publicity shot. There are a few minor acts of rebellion (Glover wears a tie!) but otherwise the result is pretty dreadful. Those who come off least badly are those with long dark hair like Espey, but really no one looks good in white. Andy Wint's photo, as you may have already noticed because he's on continuously, makes him look like a Messerschmitd head. But that's just him not the shirt. Oddly enough the management and admin staff seem to have managed to exempt themselves from the mugshot lineup, even though you would imagine it would be a good idea to put a face to sales people and so on. Maybe there isn't enough space on the internet to fit them all in. [1] I'm blaming Brindley, who clearly thinks he looks the business in his photo. He doesn't. I'm blaming Brindley for all of it 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White shirts on white background. Why? What a awful awful way to represent broadcasters all with their own personalities - dress them all the same and in the same colour. I’m a pretty blue sky approach kind of guy and I don’t find much to moan about but that page is so utterly utterly bad that was feel as though this is all a bad dream. This can’t all be really happening, can it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I admire his work ethic and wish him the best of luck with his new show. sorry if you are genuine You mean well mate, but you really really do need to stop giving out references. It’s not fair on blokes like Stu. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This can’t all be really happening, can it? The photographer during the last Manx Radio makeover (might be the same one) took similar photos and had clearly discovered how to use Photoshop (badly). All the baldies ended up with a comparatively rather lush barnet. It was like hair had been sprayed. It was quite a laugh. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxdaleliberationfront Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 As expected the 'new' sound is a disaster! Although to be fair to Mr Peters his show was alright. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
