94.7 - Rude awakening team??

[Tumbleweed]

Phew, thought it was only me.

Mansfield and Co are as entertaining and funny as SABC Morning Live. My criteria is reception, so its "The fing is..... Darryn for me"

Asked my son when Radio 5 Fm was 'squatterred' and he said I'm just getting old.

Knew of a consortium including prominent DJ's from the 80's and 90's with funds to start a solid Gold/ Rock station and could not by any means get a radio licence.

Im from " mixed racees " parents, moms irish and dad is a boertjie, me- Im just... anyway Mansfield lost me when they started gunnig Afrikaans all the time . I once wrote a mail asking him if he could speak the taal as well as I could speak english. No reply. I guess not, but hey I wount judge . I think they could could do with some good ald fashioned manners. Maybe someone should tease and torment the lot of them for a while and see how they like it.

Radio and broadcasting - it is a fickle industry. Just ask Agent - I am sure he will agree.

What 94.7 and other radio stations are interested in is their ratings and audience sizes as this is what translates eventually into income. So with this in mind they will do whatever they can to grow the audiences within their parameters. For instance the 94.7s. Jacarandas et al are all middle of the road stations (MOR) and their licence conditions may limit them to some degree in format, choice of music styles etc.

The audience size is surveyed by organisations such as AMPS and RAMS and these are fairly well regarded even in international circles. So until their surveyed audience sizes start to decline, they will keep to their 'formulas'.

I agree with you skybound, many many years ago i was great mates with a chap called lance rothschild who was the station manager of 5fm... so i understand what keeps rating going and when they wanna play the most popular songs etc - i get that, i just dont get mansfield and cowan any more - they are just uselsss...

put them out to pasture...

Now that is a name I haven't stumbled across for a good while. I was still on campus radio when I met him - he was always good to us.

[Trikenut]

I'm seriously thinking about going into talk radio! Eg. 702, or CapeTalk

[Lesser_spotted_owl]

I'm with Dish on this!

Big time!

The best breakfast show on 94.7 is when "the team" is on leave, and Jay takes over for them.

And as far as Stephen Wright goes "I can levitate birds, but no-one cares"

Hysterical

In my opinion luagh out loud was a joke!!! They have a long way to go to learn about tv comedy. I still remember being a kid in the UK and watching classics such as Cannon and Ball, The Two Ronnies, The Young Ones, Fawlty Towers, Spitting Image, Kenny Everett, etc, etc. But all in all no one can beat the Big Yin!!!!

Am having to bring a serious amount of DVD TV shows with us because I have seen your standard of TV and it's pretty awful. MInd you and in fairness, what there showing here is now #rap except when showing repeats.

Better things to do than TV guys like watching Rugby maybe hehehehehe

Uncle Spud,

do you include DSTV? There are 4 BBC channels on there, plus all the movies, sport documentary etc. SABC and ETV are putrid
