Yet another example of yet another company with a who cares attitude. All things happy when the money is rolling in. But as said previously, run for the hills when ths going gets tough, and abandon the people and communities that made the money for them in the first place. Maybe the CEO of UTV may consider a job in banking!!!! They show great qualities for the job!!!

Yes indeed Conor, it will be very interesting to see the figures. What goes around comes around Mr High and Mighty CEO, I am sure the people of West Cork will not stand by and let you get away with this despicable act.

The attitude of the Chief Executive of C103/96FM in the Bandon Opinion told us everything we needed to know. He gave two fingers to the people of West Cork because he knows best. Let’s see how his advertising numbers look at the end of the quarter.

I am relying on the good business people of West Cork to withdraw all advertising revenue from these aweful people who have treated the region and David Young with such contempt. When I visit Bandon for the publication of one of my books I have been received with the greatest courtesy and interviewed with great intelligence by him. I listen to the radio while in West Cork and it is certainly a facility to be proud of. I have the highest regard for David’s ability and inetelligence as a presenter. Please send a clear message to these “powerful” despots.

The manner in which David Young was treated is a disgrace. He performed an invaluable service for his listeners and then was dismissed without the opportunity to thank his audience or allow the same for the many people he entertained.

You’ve hit the nail on the head Ivan – the one thing they do understand is revenue. If West Cork businesses remove all advertising from C103 and 96FM, I wonder how quickly they’ll bring back the show!

I’m disgusted with this and especially the way they’re acting like it hasn’t happened – no mention on air at all that I’ve heard. A massive loss to the region. What galls me even more is that on the same day they axed the show their sales team send out a letter entitled “We have found a great idea to help your business grow:” – here’s a great idea for them – give us back our show or forget about selling advertising in West Cork.

If you feel strongly about this, there is a protest at 10.00am on Monday morning 20th April outside the C103 offices on Wellington Road (behind McCurtain St.).

Not surprisingly there is a fair amount of outrage at the decision to axe David Young, and no wonder. I have long regarded David as one of the best presenters in Irish current affairs programming and it seems there are many others who would agree with me.

There’s a protest planned for 10am Monday outside the 96FM offices in St. Patricks place Cork (above Mc Curtain street) See you all there I hope.

ok ok, i’m just the voice of one person, but every voice counts including the one that used to entertain and serve the interests of the region.

David Young was essential listening in the mornings and the radio stayed tuned to that station as a result. Turn it on and the first thing you got was C103.

Now the dial is turning – its a level field again and Newstalk, Red FM and 4FM are all players.

If you’re listening C103 you might want to consider getting one of your star players back on the pitch?

I am totally in agreement, C 103 have lost the plot.
Please come to your senses UTV and reinstate this exceptional broadcaster.
