I can’t listen to that dribble all afternoon, though his charade today could be a tv series (lost) You mean the “ Crocodile Rock“ one when he wasn’t actually alone ? If you don’t like it , why listen ? I love the afternoon shows and the evening and later ones too. It’s community radio and very good in my opinion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howard is on his own in the Manx Radio studio this afternoon and he's sounding rather lonely and sad. Playing sad music too, I hope he is alright. Howard and Christy have a fantastic rapport that I have not heard or seen since Chris Evans and Gabby Roslin ( sp) . I love their show. Just a shame it is only a two hour slot. Alex, next up is a star. An intelligent guy with a good sense of humour and a great taste in music. Stu hosts a great show at night Kerry G is brilliant, as is Sarah H, Beth A, Mike R Chris K. This talent is there, no doubt about it, 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barlow Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 (edited) Hey, Manx Radio hasn't switched today's questions for the Coronavirus-19 briefing over to AM. I suppose Alex Brindley will be fuming that he is losing so much 'me' time on the air. Which is probably a good thing, but I'm not sure if it is worth the £200,000 extra Manx Radio is sucking out of the taxpayer for doing these briefings IoM Gove do them live on Facebook for free. So does 3fm and IoM Newspapers and a few others. Edited October 23, 2020 by Barlow 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're 'confused' @The Dog's Dangly Bits Let me clarify. Manx Radio started to cut the broadcast of the Coronavirus-19 briefings. Even though they are paid £1,000,000 per annum as a public broadcaster plus £200,00 for their 'extra' Coronavirus-19 stuff. Looks like they thought today that they'd maybe best keep the questions in. There are 4 or 5 other media outlets including Isle of Man Government itself who put the full uncut broadcast out on Facebook for diddly-pat.

piebaps Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 And your point is? Compared to Peel Marina dredging, MR is excellent value for money. At least everyone has a chance to use its services. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The newspapers on the Island during lockdown were very thin. There simply wasn't a lot going on. And yet Manx Radio used the lean time to beg an extra £200,000 out of the taxpayer. Jees, if anything, it should have been the government claiming back £200,000 of the subvention They were already taking the piss by spinning 3 minutes discs in the morning during a time when there would be previously have been Manx Radio people earning their money, interviewing politicians, the public, chasing news stories etc. My point is loud and clear, sweet piebaps. Manx Radio is ripping off the taxpayer. Big time. Edited October 30, 2020 by Barlow 1 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was good value on I think Friday afternoon. He had a 15 year old student in the studio who wanted to become a presenter. GF made so many goofs and laughed at himself, the young lad must have been reassessing his career choice. 😯 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
