GI James Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 Just been look at the Manx Radio Article about the possible moving (or burying?) of Mannin Line. Seems a shame as there were quite a number of new callers coming through. Maybe our friendly member/presenter can give us the full info? Come on Stu, whisper, I promise not to tell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celt Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 I was under the impression that the first so-called threat of closing it was to get more and/or different people to phone in. Pity if it did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Gribbon Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 Back in the olden days of Manxnet I'm sure that someone with a log in name of Stew Peters or something would have posted and told you. There might have been a few similar follow up posts too. I suoppose that sort of thing is really childish though and achieves nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Peters Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 Sorry folks - but I'm sworn to staying schtum until the 'new season' of programmes starts on Monday. There's a lot of work gone into this by a number of people, so it wouldn't be fair or proper to pre-empt that by posting here right now! A personal request from me: listen to the station ALL next week (especially if you're a regular MR listener) before making your mind up whether you like the way it sounds. Then post away here and let us know what you think. I'll gladly convey positive or negative comments to the boss after that. Stu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crumlin Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 A little bird tells me that Manx Radio have had a lot of stick from the CM and his wife over the Mannin Line. Is it a case now of cut the Mannin Line or CUT the grants to Manx Radio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silky Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 Shame if the Mannin Line does go in my opinion. It may not the best listening (at times) or even the most popular, but its like a manx tradition! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FCMR Posted October 30, 2004 Share Posted October 30, 2004 Its my opinion and that of a few more that Geo is from the Ned clan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave the Cardboard Box Posted October 30, 2004 Share Posted October 30, 2004 I'll gladly convey positive or negative comments to the boss after that. Stu <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Reading between the lines, I reckon Mr. Peters is not particularly happy about the proposed new scheduling - he wants you to listen to it - and then let management know you are not happy. But whatever they do, Manx Radio cannot win. The changes will cause an uproar, because the listening public just do not like change. The downside for me is that I will have to revert to listening to You and Yours, the worst programme on Radio 4. But I got through the dark days of Does he Take Sugar, and In Touch - I can cope....

GI James Posted October 30, 2004 Author Share Posted October 30, 2004 The downside for me is that I will have to revert to listening to You and Yours, the worst programme on Radio 4.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Good Grief! You're not really 'Beasty' are you? She said exactly the same thing on Friday! I wonder if anyone stays with Manx Radio for the bulk of their radio listening? I retune to Jeremy Vine's Programme (12 to 2 weekdays) after Mannin Line but could just as easily change channels after the news. Love Steve Wright's Show (from 2pm) especially if it's featuring Ask Elvis which absolutely creases me up. PS Did I hear Stu announce that Friday's show was his last Mannin Line?

Celt Posted October 31, 2004 Share Posted October 31, 2004 As someone who knows both a few Manx Radio amd the new 3FM presenters. I, for fairness value, tuned into 3FM. I found the Mike Reynolds slot really good as He doe's a bit more talking than the others. Always have and still think he's really good. As for the rest, it sounds like listening to a CD. As for Manx Radio, i think it's got better over the years and still gives an all round set of programmes that siuts most people. Even Sue Richardson got better. ( I remember " Afternoon Delight" and" It's Raining Again " everytime it bloody rained). As for Stu Peters, I think it is very comendable He comes on here and lets people know what's going on. At least give the guy a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
