What do you mean?

Absolutely not. RTE is the state radio station. Gets our license money. Straight and fair.

I reckon they will. The Friday Fiver thingy doesn't normally take up the whole show :)

Seriously guys, think you are off the mark there.

I must be mistaken, I thought I just heard a radio commercial.

Seriously guys, think you are off the mark there.

In that case I am way off the mark, must have been a trailer not an advert, apologies.

I deleted my post.
It sounded not how it was supposed to!

Guys, we can't throw a paddy (excuse the pun) if we don't get our own way!
There'll be plenty of other opportunities to gain media attention.

There are commercials but it is irrelevant to this discussion tbh!

Phil,

If I'm thinking on the right lines - Skyliner is thinking that the advertisers must pay the radio station for airtime.
So in his mind what's stopping Banners Broker paying them to not have airtime?

I think that may be his thoughts - but I don't pretend I can read minds!

Well some clarification is needed from our Irish members. Where does this station get it's funding?

Sounds like a regular Thursday thing. He is doing (Fiver Friday) special offers from local shops every Friday.
So I would say there are no rats to smell. Unless you mean Roland Rat?

It is a mix between commercials and license fee.

Even if you're 'down under', it still isn't Friday :-)

They get funding from License fees. Also they do have adverts. However If you think advertisers have any input into investigative journalism on the station, then you are way off the mark. If it had been on today, would you have mentioned adverts?
I would be very surprised if Joe does not revisit bb.

We the Irish public pay for RTE with our T.V. licence fee of €160 a year. This Friday Fiver thingy is Joe Duffy's invention. He started it about a year ago, to boost local businesses. It seems to be doing well. Today's type of show only happens once a month (I think). I know you're all waiting for the BB topic to come on. It might yet.

So it's potentially not asreliable as a fully licence paid station for a balanced view, not counting recent debacles including Mr Saville etc.

Correct, we all do seem to have a habit of jumping to conclusions occasionally.

I'd be surprised too. I've not listened to this station before - but I could tell that Joe was very sceptical!

ah skyliner im not going to answer any more on this subject. reds under the beds.

One thing in the stations favour they do have more adverts than Banners Broker.

I might call 'em to see if I can sign up to be an affiliate.

This is turning into a bit of a circus. There is no way BB have exerted a monetary influence over RTE. If anything, they may have threatened legal action which could slow things down.

I think we are being very foolish to criticise the radio station. We want them to take it on and discuss this issue again!

It is unlikely Banners Broker could 'pay off' RTE - I would be very surprised. This is not some two bit operation like the old scam.com forum!

They may threaten, but we all know Banners Broker would not want to be anywhere near any courts of law.

I have NOT criticised the radio station, merely sought clarification that I have duly received, Thank you to all.
If they never mention BB again despite the contact made by members of this forum then I may be inclined to raise the subject again.
Until then we must just keep up the good work done so far.

What're all the derogatory remarks and references on this forum about?
I list 'Paddy', shills, pimps, etc as examples.
Anyone would think that you (as in the collective, or plural) were BITTER!
This mode of delivery debases your arguments.

Also, Payol, when you work for a living, you get paid to work, not make childish commentary on any group of the European community. You are stealing from your employer when you do so. If you (singular) add up the time that you have spent doing so, via your many, many, posts, it would easily exceed the €100 that you base your opinions on.

Not that having the same suit as someone makes you that person - but you can see the similarities.
In this image Mr Smith looks around 6'2" weighing in at approx. 200lbs. Quite a distinct round head and face.

Pictures 2 and 3 are from a BB gathering, the first one, however, is from a meeting of an earlier Canadian ponzi called Business in Motion run by this man, Alan Neil Kippax

who, along with his cousin Peter previously ran the Treasure Traders Ltd scam in the UK.

Please see that your post is wrongly accusing me of being racist.

Whilst repairing computers there is a lot of 'wait time' - my employer allows me to use the Internet whilst working - ergo I am not stealing.
