2CC takes a pasting in the blogosphere

They still pirated the idea from commercial radio, and then put their ‘oh check out how commercial radio does it’ blurb on it..

IMHO they can’t come up with any decent stuff for themselves so they are pillaging what commercial radios are doing, renaming, repackaging and doing the same things commercial radio is doing.

May as well listen to commercial radio for that.

I’ve started listening to some weird local station since I tuned them in and some guy was thanking the cleaning lady for about 15 minutes for bringing him a mars bar.

I think it may be student radio, since students don’t generally get regular meals..

Genuine alternative content too, JJJ seems to be playing the same stuff over and over and over (a bit like commercial radio does)..

agreed no matter how bad jjj gets it never sinks below commercial radio

Heh, should have heard the day I came into work lamenting that JJJ is getting too commercial, and then laughing at the diehard alternatives trying to justify that making prank phone calls on air when done on commercial radio is crap, but when it’s done on JJJ it’s art.

I really do hate commercial radio – but thats kind of beside the point isn’t it!!

SG-S tks 🙂

Maelinar, as Mike Jeffreys would say “1206 on your AM dial”

Nicely put Diane.

The problem here is that too many people are afraid to be labelled as apologists, sypathisers or racists.

I lived in a muslim country for three years, I know that muslims are not by and large nasty people. Furthermore, the arab muslims are experiencing a terrible backlash from their asian counterparts, because we can’t seem to get through one week without some extremist f*cktard screaming ‘jihad’ and kidnapping some more western f*cktards.

Now, you may be asking yourself what this comment has to do with the 2CC interview.

My answer to you is ‘absolutley nothing’. I just like the sound of my own typing.

Oh, and AD, as a wog I find your comments highly amusing.

im a non-practicing nihilist and so are my brothers and their brothers brothers…. and no one cares about us and neither do we

None of my brothers are muslim. I feel left out.

Is there any way I can get credits because of my disadvantaged status in society because I don’t have any muslim brothers ?

Anyways…

I’m into my own religion, it’s self-serving but I find it meets my spiritual needs.

Just to keep on topic, I listen to the radio sometimes as well. Where is 2CC on the dial ?

Absent Diane, I have a crush on you now.

one step ahead of you kimba…… but seriously you should think about what write before you say it – as it was a broad generalisation and you have to realise that towel-heads, gooks, niggers, fags and bitches all have feelings as well

That’s what I love about this debate. Anyone who says anything against our Muslim brothers are immediately labelled a “shock-jock” or a “racist. Absent Diane you know what you can do with your Kabab!!!

“And talking about Muslim businessmen in Canberra – most seem only to employ other Muslims, just look at Ali Baba. ” – Kimba that is an extremely broad (racist?) comment… and is also a crock of shit

I also heard the interview. Mr Yusuf’s rambling denial/defence of muslim terrorists was pathetic. Jeffries asked a number of pertnent questions; Yusuf could not or would not answer them. No ‘shock jockery’ there. Listen to the transcript.

Thumper, I never had a problem editing my posts. If you view the list of Posts in the dashboard there is an edit link next to ones you have made.

I listened to Mr Yusuf’s interview. Yusuf seemed very defensive and just an apologist for the Muslim extremists.

And talking about Muslim businessmen in Canberra – most seem only to employ other Muslims, just look at Ali Baba.

The awkward phrasing, Thumper, is the phrase “it needs a concerted effort by the Muslim community to come out as one and condone the cowardly efforts of terrorist bomber”.

Presumably, you mean there should be a concerted effort by the Muslim community to refuse to condone terrorism???

Personally, I’m distrustful of anybody expecting an entire community to think as one about anything – Catholics, Anglicans, all religions have major schisms and disagreements about how they should carry on – why should Muslims be any different?

And if you think that Anglicans and Catholics don’t bomb anybody, I’ll direct you to a little place called Northern Ireland…

M’kay, I guess someone needs to refer Irf to us for clarification.

Now I’m confused, Irf said he talked to Stan Zemanak but you all keep mentioning Mike Jeffreys.

Who’s got it wrong?

Irf iz da bomb.

That was a poorly chosen figure of speech wasn’t it?

sk8erboi,

He seems a rather articulate and well written blogger though.

sorry Sam but you did.

Unless you meant “remeber, commecial radio gets it is funding from advertising”

(well you did ask)

Oh, and Mike Jeffreys (That is the correct spelling!) is not a shock jock. He is in fact one of the nicest people you could meet. He certainly has some strong opinions, but that is what makes talkback hosts interesting.

In case you haven’t noticed, he does a breakfast show, which means that entertainment is high on the agenda…his little jokes and bits of satire are not “shock-jock lines”. seepi, you say that mike didn’t let you friend “get a word in edgewise”, that is something I would highly doubt, perhaps he didn’t let her get a word in when he was announcing that it was time to go to an ad break….remember, commercial radio gets it’s funding from advertising.

I hope I didn’t misuse an apostrophe there.

Samuel

Maybe I’ll just repeat my rant of a comment that I left on his blog…

I have been considering wearing a large 2CC sign and your comments have now prompted me to do so. It is people like you who manage to take an entire show out of context by listening (or contributing) to five minutes of it, come away with a bad taste in their mouth because they disagree with the presenter and then declare the entire station to be of the same ilk that give talk radio a bad name.

In my opinion, the fact that people seem to be moving away from talk radio in Canberra shows an amount of ignorance and a blatant disregard for the events that go on around them. Is it any wonder that the government can get away with whatever they want when people don’t try to be informed about what their elected represetatives are doing.
ABC Local Radio and 2CC both lost ground. ABC 1.1% (Down from 19.1 to 18.0) and 2CC 0.2% (Down from 7.9 to 7.7).

Maybe if people didn’t have these stupid little rants about how they didn’t like every word that the announcer said, then more people would know what is going on around them because they wouldn’t be turned off by idiotic lunatics.

Talk radio isn’t supposed to be something where everybody agrees, it is there to promote debate and discussion about the events that are occuring, and at the same time, provide some entertainment to the listener.

Don’t worry, only 7.7% of Canberra heard you get a pasting.

Samuel

Ohh, he’s a blogger… so what? I pick my nose too and it’s about as interesting as writing a diary or keeping a blog – fascinating to the owner, and boring as batshit for everyone else.

I’d say Mike Jeffrey. I did an interview with him once where he just sent me up the whole time and didn’t listen to a word I said.
A friend also did an interview with him where he just kept repeating his shock-jock lines and didn’t let her get a word in edgewise.
He fancies himself as Canberra’s Alan Jones I think. It is only cos noone in PR listens to his station that we all get caught out going on there once – then never again.
