Noticed whilst driving yesterday that many radio stations were re-playing the god awful despacito again . On reflection this is not a surprise , a single owner owns Today FM and Newstalk, Spin 1038 and 98FM , Spin Southwest, Off the Ball, audioXI and GoLoud .
So not only is the music choice monopolised , but the news is too to an extent . No wonder there is such fertile ground for more extreme narratives to grow , when there is no sensible middle of the road robust discussion to take place .
Or maybe I should grow to like the Justin bieber remix and stop overthinking . There is not an awful lot any of us can do about it anyway , unless we go fund a fab media company |

Rte Radio 1 is the best station for current affairs.
As for music, you have to be lucky with occasional good hours here and there across all stations. (except spin south west) |

"My own tunes all the way (or those of my children - not sure what's worse   )"
Me too, but largely because of the poor quality of much of what’s on the radio
I kinda miss Ivan Yates and Chris donoghue !! |

"

Exactly, very poor quality. Couldn't even name any presenters any more who I'd miss  |

"What is it with every radio station in Ireland now having a male and female presenter mostly in their 40’s acting dumb and childish like, on 7am breakfast shows?? "
RTE Radio 1 doesn't have this (dumb aspect certainly.... Except for tubridy some may say), give it a try. |

John Creedon on RTE is absolutely brilliant everything else is garbage.
Same songs played about 20 times a day and annoying DJs who think they are comedians.
The 2fm morning show has to be one of the worst shows I've ever heard. It sounds like a parody. Insufferable |

She’s very bright , and a real natural under pressure
But something about her annoys me
What I loved about the Chris and Ivan show was the level of detail they could predict election outcomes to , with Ivan really putting his former career to use |
