And one way to dramatically disimproove it.
Edel Coffey (a.k.a. the best thing on their daytime schedule by a long ways) will be beginning her final shift on Phantom in about quarter of an hour as she's going back to newspapers. Presumably this means she'll be writing in them and not just standing at a traffic light in a bib on the N4 flogging copies of the Evening Herald. At least this means she'll no longer have to feign interest as she chats to utterly delusional shit (mainly "rock n' roll") local bands who talk like they're rock stars already. But her gain is everyone else's loss.
This isnothing like Gay Byrne leaving the Late Late, hopefully Sinead Ní Mhorda doesn't turn out to be the Pat Kenny of the pair. Actually that makes no sense, I think Pat Kenny as a current affairs broadcaster is pretty decent.

I dont get to say say this often Ian, but your wrong. Pat is an enormous tool.
I thought the whole point of Phantom was that bands like Battles were played on daytime radio. If not, what is their point?
i don't know why phantom exists - 90% of it is fairly awful, but edel and jim are quite good
however, the rest does nowt for me at all - shame though, i wish edel all the best and hope she's successful in her new bit at the indo

To sell airtime for ads? Isn't that the point of all radio.

If she's gone to the indo then truly she is lost to me forever as I never buy it.
I'm willing to give Sinead Ní Mhorda a fair crack of the whip, I've been at a couple of club nights where she's DJ'd and she's played some decent stuff once she gone past the crowd pleasing "cool in past 6 months" material.
