gettafa Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 OK, not local news, but it was just announced on Manx Radio News. Someone or other and someone or other else has just fucking won Love Island. wtf?

gettafa Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 And whilst I'm on one about Manx Radio, they've just announced the teaser for tomorrow morning. Chief Minister Howard Quayle will be on talking about the teachers' pay dispute But it's ok, because they've got a brand new Where's Wotton. Seriously, wtf is going down with Manx Radio these days? Is it because they have been guaranteed ( that is to say: g_u_a_r_a_n_t_e_e_d) in excess of £3million of taxpayers money over the next 3 years? Fuck. The teachers are threatening strike action, but it's ok, because we can have a brand new wonder about Where's Wotton. What's going on folks? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donald Trumps Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 They have been thrown millions of £££s to chase a youf audience that doesn't listen to radio anymore Thereby depriving the older population of a Manx community radio service that was the 'sound of the their lives' Simultaneously a monstrous act of cruelty AND a monstrous act of stupidity by the unfeeling members of #ClubTynwald 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uhtred Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 I don’t really listen to Manx Radio - never have. I’ve no philosophical objection to it, but put simply, it’s not my kind of broadcasting. However, a friend gave me a lift late last week, at around 2:00 pm, and had MR on in the car. Two young ladies were presenting a programme which they stated would offer a chance for the kids who were listening to choose the music to be played, as half-term was concluding. I had to endure this programme for about 25 minutes. It was, frankly, embarrassing; unlistenable, gabbling, amateurish rubbish. If this is the offering of ‘The Nation’s Station’ those listening beyond our shores can only conclude that we’re a nation of morons. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up until recently a philosphical outlook could have been that it serves a purpose to the community and just because I don't listen to it, doesn't mean others don't etc. But that view point simply doesn't stand anymore. They're getting all this money to lark about and have high jinks. It's got to stop, however Tynwald has given them the money and they can't be touched for 3 years. Like a politician gets 5 years to do what they want. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Declan Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 It's stories like this that annoy me... https://www.manxradio.com/news/isle-of-man-news/sunflower-lanyards-already-available-on-island/ It's about the lack of general knowledge about sunflower lanyards. But doesn't explain what sunflower lanyards signify. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On The Bus Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 I gave Manx Radio another chance yesterday - what a mistake that was! Utter guff! It's just drivel and has no quality to it - the presenters ramble, the competitions are crap, and the adverts are unbearable and repetitive. Why are we funding this awful awful station to the tune of £1m+ per year? 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
