I think Victoria decided that a cooling off period was due ! .
I thought it was quality. Shame it's no longer on Setanta Sports since they went bust.
The argument sounded serious. First time I've seen them call an adbreak so sharp. :eek:
i wish that one was on the telly
Yeah, can anyone tell me too why Euan left the phone-in for one of the highest profile shows on Scottish radio.????
ANYONE!!!!
Euan recognised the opportunity to do something different and went for it based on his popularity on the football show.
Fair enough... He should go for it...
Did anybody think Euan & Roughy towards the end were having a bit too many fall outs on air anyway? I think it was becoming a bit stale too so maybe that's why they wanted a change?
Still won't be the same as the good days when it was on Setanta.
Yes I do rather wonder what the long term mileage is in these shows.
Endless unfounded specultion about storms in teacups fuelled by devils' advocate commentators that amount to nothing and are forgotten about the next week.
Why, we have internet forums for that;)
Tune into Real and Clyde and it is the same topics and calls based around that day' back pages.
With the arrival of Capital might Real and Clyde be advised to call a truce and both ditch this output?
At the very least it would make more sense for GMG to have it on Smooth and Bauer to put it on Clyde 2, leaving the premier FMs to output music.
that would mean more local output on Smooth, we couldn't possibly have that!
It seems everything is going mainstream these days.
Not just in Scotland either - the football phone-ins on Real Radio North East and Real Radio Wales have also been binned.
BBC Radio Scotland?
Not really. That's probably the point when both presenters had arrived in the building.
As for all this stuff about 'shock' and 'tears'...well maybe. But the imminent ditching of the sport was forecast on here the day the takeover went through.
When you actually work in a radio station going through this it's tempting to beieve what your line managers say, even though the forums are predicting your imminent demise. Been there done that a decade ago.
Bottom lime is the bottom line. The only way Global can make cash out GMG's licences is by losing most of GMG's staff.
I have switched over to the Clyde1 football phone in
It's a cheap cop-out but it works, sharing costs with a radio station that's not really direct competition. I suppose this whole concept dates back to the days of the James Whale TV show and to some extend 'The Broom Cupboard' on BBC children's TV.
Bound to pull in audience.
