The oldies
request show - Mondays from 7pm with Tony Mac
Our guarantee:
YOU request them! WE play them! EVERY song we play is chosen
by YOU!
The WIDEST VARIETY of oldies from the 70’s,
80’s & 90’s to choose from! More variety of oldies hits
from our music library than ANY other radio station in Dublin
or around the country! It’s a FACT! (Except for that national
radio station next door to us on the band… think they’re
called 2… something or other).
We NEVER talk over your
favourite oldie of which you’ve taken the time out to text us
and request us to play!
For years since 1989, Radio
stations have been manipulating listeners into believing that
the play the best music. The fact is that they have an
extremely small amount of chart hits of the past in their
music library, but just pick a couple here and there and bang
off “The Best Music”. They are in effect a Jukebox trying to
be a Radio Station. They’ve been doing this since 1989 and the
end result is over this way over the last twelve years is that
the listener’s forget about the all the rest of those Chart
Top 40 hits singles which were big from the last several
decades past such that if they did try to do this now the
average person probably wouldn’t remember the songs they’re
playing simply because they haven’t played in over in over
twelve years!
e.g. Let’s take Madonna who has been
CONSISTENTLY BIG over the years since the early eighties. Do
you think Radio stations have EVERY song from Madonna in their
music library? They don’t! They would only have a few of her
many hit singles.
They also choose what songs they do
stock and play on air based on a survey each year which
happens to be TOTALLY INACCURATE and DOES NOT reflect the
general public’s favourite music interests! When was the last
time someone came up to you and asked you what bands and pop
groups and songs you like? It’s certainly never happened to
me!
This is essentially why we run this show. To span
the charts over the last three decades and let the listener’s
have their favourite oldies played and is particularly more
rewarding for us when it’s forgotten, obscure hits that we
wouldn’t be expected to have available to play. We obviously
haven’t got EVERY Oldie hit single in are music library, but
is getting bigger every week and there’s only one other radio
station around the country who’s trying to take a leaf out of
our book (which incidentally just happens to be another
national station) and we’re happy to say have a lot of
catching up still to do when it comes to updating their music
library).
So if you like the oldies join us from 7 –
10pm every Monday and let us play your favourite oldie for
especially for you!
