Well done the Strawberries .............. by far and away the most entertaining/humourous show on air at the moment

[NoelRock]

Have to agree wholeheartedly with KJ...

But... "E3: On-Air Competition

Scorpion King "Sting in the Tale" FM104 "

Hmmmmm... no, I'd have to say 98FM outdid that with their 30,000euro giveaway. That made some interesting listening on the Home Run...

[KJ]

I dont think the 30,000 yo yo giveaway was even nominated, shame cos it made for great radio. Out of the nominations that *were* there Id say 98FM's Tossers should have scooped it


KJ

;)

[NoelRock]

"30,000 yo yo"

Heh, it's obvious you've been listening to the strawberries ;)!

I'm baffled as to why it wasn't even nominated then! Tossers was still far better than the 'sting in the tale' though...

[gizajob]

what you are forgeting is that the judges made their decision based on the tapes received with the submissions and not what you and i heard on the air. a slick well produced submission tape is what swung it for a lot of entries in my opinion.

[Katy Lied]

Hi Guys,

Does anyone know the complete list of awards presented last week - listening to various stations across Dublin/Leinster, presenters keep alluding to the awards but not going into detail.

Can anyone help? Curiousity is getting the better of me.

Rick o'shea didn't win then?
