MediaStar Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 I'm pretty fed up with the girl who has been doing the business news on mandate this week. Is she on work experience or an intern? The subject matter tends to irrelevant, non-Isle of Man or simply dull and she insists on playing music at the start and end of each section, like that enhances it or something. If she's training, someone needs to give her some guidance. I'd say everything they do is pop-tastic matey. You're just a grouch who measures a big zero on the pop-ometer.

woolley Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Amusing one this morning. Eight o'clock news featured the "International" section first, probably because of Brexit day and included Trump etc. Then there was the inevitable commercial. Then she said "now news from further afield" and proceeded to read the Manx news. Eh? What? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution45 Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 So Manx Radio spend more of their government money on a new on-line directory. Really? Is that their purpose? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackCarter Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Post office seems to do ok. Yes, because it's so hard making a turn off absolutely everything that has to be posted to and from an Island 365 24/7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notwell Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Perhaps. But they could still lose money and it apparently "never works out well". The money is in parcels/courier services too. Which they have competition for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see that it does anything that isn't already done in at least a hundred other places? What is it? Why should I use it? How is it meant to make money?

But if you could kick off a new "business" with tons of free publicity subsidized by the taxpayer who are paying for your other business you would, wouldn't you?

j2bad Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 This is going to be fantastic, we have not had a manx radio online car crash for a few years watching this slam into the wall like MR + and manxradiott365.com will provide much entertainment and a useful distraction from anything actually newsworthy.

j2bad Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Well just had a skeet, and yes it is not as shit as manxradiott365.com but it is still pretty shit and pointless. Fail to see how it is powered by radio, it just looks like some badly skinned free classifieds web template. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
