So, FM104 are bleating because someone at RTE has been interfering with their wikipedia page. Edits such as changing "FM 104 is aimed mainly at 16-35 year olds" to "FM 104 is aimed mainly at 16-17 year olds" have been traced back to RTE's unique IP address. A spokesman for FM104 has demanded that RTE hold a full investigation into the changes and branded the editing as "a juvenile act and a waste of the licence fee". Such a juvenile act that I bet they're kicking themselves for not thinking of it first.I never listen to FM104. Apart from in taxis and hair salons when I've got no control over what's being broadcast but you'd think that a radio station aimed at 16-34 year olds would manage to have a sense of humour about something like this. It's all just a bit pathetic really. Personally I don't think whoever did it went far enough.
I renewed my tv licence (€158 thanks very much) last week and this has taken the edge off it a little bit. I'd rather RTE employees were wasting time and licence fees doing this sort of thing than churning out rubbish like Charity You're a Star. At least it shows a small bit of cheek and imagination.
Incidentally I was just having a look at the FM104 website. Their morning show, the Strawberry Alarm Clock, has its own blog. They've managed to misspell clock. Who said somethingabout a juvenile act?
