Snaipyr Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 as for the Bloody canadian and the stoned yankee bird,what are they all about Thats my rant over. Manx Radio should be MANX Radio - and recognisable as such by ALL presenters having MANX accents, and ads should be vetted by a Manx accent police!!! At the moment there's an ad with one of those grating posh English accents that just makes me want to smash the radio - can't even remember what it's for because I leap to switch to the off switch as soon as it starts.

Perhaps there is just the faintest possibility that there are people who wake up at different times - each, perhaps, wanting a précis of the local news before they set off for work - or is that too radical a thought?

thebees Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Hey up Rox xx. (Spied reading thread) I like Manx Radio, sometimes it is the only radio station I can deal with listening to. The other day I was visiting somewhere where they had a radio on, the noise was awful, so bad I presumed it to be a local station, imagine my surprise when I learned it was Radio one and stupid Chris Moyles. Each to their own, there might not be millions listening to Manx Radio but it is comforting to know its there in case of emergency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly what my mother does - listens to the news and some Mandate, switches off when the music comes back on (she is 84 after all). She's very much a Radio 4 person. Used to listen to Spot The Intro (hint for Stu Peters there). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know about the Manx accents - most who live south of Ramsey sound scouse to me. Those English bints - I agree, OMG the worst form of organic lifeform found on this planet.

Albert Tatlock Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 I like Manx Radio. I particularly like Stu's talking heads, Bernie Quayle's evening show and the Moanin line sometimes. You can keep Brindley, I'd even consider listening to bagpipes playing before him - and that takes some saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough, but it just seems that the news runs into an advert or 3 and then more news. I enjoy the mandate when they talk about subjects, rather than just the news or Airline/scaffolding/beauty treatments adverts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex is OK - I actually start the day with him when I stagger out of my pit at 7AM (Swiss) = 6AM (Manx). A program I like is the early one on Saturday morning - starts at 6AM - decent music and no ego. Shame Stu can't do a 4 hour prog with Rock & Talking Heads, but I guess he's just far to busy down the gym starting at the lycra-clad beauties Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freggyragh Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 I used to listen to Manx Radio during the week until quite recently - but I just couldn't stand those adverts, and I've stopped tuning in. These are the ones in particular that made me hit the off switch every time: The one for recycling, featuring kids with a really strong Yorkshire (?) accent. The one that mispronounces 'Costain'. The one that mangles 'Ballacushag'. I can forgive a live presenter mispronouncing surnames and placenames now and again - and to be fair, most of them really do try to get it right. But it was stuff like this in jingles, repeated over and over, that made me switch off. I still tune into one or two specialist shows during the week - but it is not on in the workplace anymore.
