You may have seen this when it was announced yesterday but never mind..
Phantom launching on Hallowe'en. Rather appropriate.
Roll on good times.

Good news indeed, but I wonder whether radio is becoming a dated medium, certainly in the delivery of new music.

Ah yes. They said books would vanish once the internet went mainstream. Any day now I'm sure.. |

does anyone have any idea if they have hired any new DJs? or will it be the old Phantom crew? Or will they bring back the ones currently on the graveyard shifts at 2FM and today fm?

Would appear that they are only getting the DJs finalised this week. From the site;
We will be calling those of you who are on our interview panel right through the week commencing September 18th. Please be patient, it may be towards the end of the week before you are contacted. If you are on our list we will make every effort to contact you. Unfortunately, We are not taking any new applications at this time. Check back to this page for updates.

Be interesting to see their playlist now that they have to be commercially viable.
Spin made a balls of that

what nerraw said
i'd say phantom will find it tough enough out there. sure, theres loads and loads of goodwill they can tap into but they have to quite clever in walking the line between the likes of, say, cluas readers and the like (theres a demographic group for ya) and everyone else wants. it will not be easy but best of luck to them. at least, they will have MCD and Principle Managements deep pockets to help them over the early hurdles

The PhantomFM Forum has the standards boards.ie warning about discussing mcd events. Irony. |
