Barlow Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 Wint on Mannin Line declaring that the Isle of Man is miles away from burning down hotels like what they are doing in Ireland against immigration. If only Winty knew (as he clearly does not) that one of his Manx Radio colleagues and former politician went to jail for a not dissimilar event. (Although if course, the Manx boyos got the wrong house and burnt down a house that was being built for a young Manx couple!!!!!) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred the shred Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 Far too many employees, News Readers that are difficult to understand etc it just needs someone to manage the station who has experience in cutting costs and improving the service. They are constantly trying to woo the young people with their rap and bang bang music when most of their listeners are middle aged to old aged they should play to their audience and the news is dire usually out of date and then they regurgitate it a couple of days after if it is a slow news day. My cat could make a better job of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Voice of Reason Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 That stairlift advert that they have on MR where the old lady says I “was having trouble with using the stairs but I didn’t want to move out of my house” So her daughter points her in the direction of ( or takes her to) the chairlift provider firm. Am I just being cynical or is the daughter scared stiff that otherwise her aged mum might move in with her? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manx Radio and their childish presenters are aiming at the kiddies and under 30s. So in other words, the daughter in the above scenario Manx Radio cheesed off the majority of its listeners who were over 45, certainly the over 60s. The above old lady has re-discovered BBC Radio 4 and the fucking Archers etc. So aye, put the fear of god into the younger generation and get them to buy the wheelchairs and commodes and that.

CrazyDave Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 Who still listens to local radio in a world where you have access to thousands of stations and can even skip songs now if one comes on the radio that you don’t like? Local radio as we know it is in its last years and our stations need a major overhaul. At least 3fm have taken a step with their new second station. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreyWolf Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 (edited) Fair play to Brindley he had Alf on the ropes the other week he’s a much better fit for the mannin line, than the Wint chap, who after shining Alfy shoes, making him coffee holding back his chair valet parking his car and telling him how fab he is, Winty then would have spent the rest of the programme filtering out any uncomfortable questions to give him a easy time.
