Sundays Are So Gay

I'm Liam Cahill the Deputy Station Manager here at Open FM. So as I write this it's Sunday and what a boring and pointless day it is. For many, it's a day to recover from the previous nights adventures. But for me, it's spent food shopping and catching up on the weeks news. You see I'm a self confessed news and political junkie (usually U.S. focused).

So, what does this week bring in terms of Open FM? Well, when we do eventually settle on a proper time, Open FM's management meeting can be very productive. If you're lucky, you may even be given a cheese sandwich. Although, being a gym bunny I tend to pretend I had a large lunch.

This week, we're focusing on sponsorship, the heart of any radio station, in a bid to get Open FM's fiscal ball rolling, with that said we're not far off.

Also this week we'll add a few more stops to our recruitment drive, where you ask? Well, DIT for a start.

So, the week has lots of meetings- what's new. But this is for certain, I've spent the last ten minutes, while writing this blog, listening to music which we'll play on the station. New music will be a must. But, what if we play the odd classic from the 80s or 90s? Playlist is due to be discussed in a few weeks. And I'm sure, someone will mention Gloria Gaynor! It won't be me.

Things have a way of working out

By Jill Watchorn
Well what can I say Open FM is going smoothly and looking great, all down to a fantastic team that I can happily say have given me the chance to get involved! So firstly let me introduce myself my name is Jill and I am starting a new career in the world of journalism! Currently I am working at everything I can possible do in 24 hours but loving it all the same and I feel Open FM is a great way to escape it all. My career path started and still is in the world of art, not an artists myself I never had the creative flair for it, I decided to get involved in the business side of it all. I studied for an MA in Art Business in London and also worked in different art organisations over there. I thought coming back to work in the arts sector in Ireland a year and a half ago was a brilliant idea.....little did I know like everyone else that the big 'R' word was looming in the distance and money and buyers became scarce in this sector. This led to one of the best moves I have ever m...

Hey, what's your ASL?

The Internet is a very interesting place. While I was in college copious amounts of time was spent surfing the web for Interesting story Ideas and the latest political news. Of course, there's a stage in everyone's life when you realize there's more to the Internet than dull stories and the latest academic journal on the Americanization of modern Ireland- thanks MTV. This new found thing is of course gay dating sites. It's a funny thing, you log on sit back and see what people say. For instance, besides meeting the OpenFM team this week, I found myself lost in the wilderness of 'asl' lingo. It took me around 4 days to figure out what they where talking about and when I did i thought those now meaningless abbreviations had so much potential. What about, 'wab' which translates as want a boyfriend? or 'ypac' your pictures are cute. They where having none of it apparently. Besides my gay dating antics, the Internet recently came home to the mecca...
