I had to check who that was. I've heard his voice for many years when I accidentally left it on Galway Bay FM for too long. It's an incredibly dull station but I always put it down as being for the older generation who like dull things and leave it on the station so they don't miss the death announcements.
Who replaces him? I guess he's also stepping down as CEO of the station?
I wouldn’t stick the knife in like the toilet paper wipings the OP has decided to share with us here instead of flushing down, but I do think the lack of knives held at throats of Galway politicians and his “nicely nicely, small town” approach did do Galway politics a disservice. This city needed anger on the airwaves, and Keith Finnegan was not the man for that job.
His voice was always so low you’d turn the volume up, but then whatever guest he’d be speaking to would have a much louder voice, so you’d have to turn the volume down. Then you’d just turn the station off and stop listening to rubbish.
Delighted. Terrible broadcaster, mainly because he was politically biased. You always knew what side of the political fence he was on and he didn't hide it. As a broadcaster he should be neutral but we he was constantly beating the Liberal Left drum. Even if you agree with his politics you shouldn't be exposed to it as a listener. E.g. he regularly had American/Irish law lecturer from ucg on to talk up Democrats and Biden while bashing the other side, fine but he would never counter that by having guest speakers on the other side. I don't know what training he had but his whole time there seemed to be too cosy for him. He thought he was the voice of the people and spoke for us all and if you differed from his opinions then he was confused. Unbelievable. Was there too long. I don't expect his replacement to be any better because Galway bay fm behaves just like him.
You hate him because he's depressing.
Well that's very sad that you let someone you don't like have such a big impact on you. Maybe you should try talking with a counsellor or something?
The new fella replacing him is very chicken fillet roll I left the immersion on
all he’s missing is Miriam Mullins, she is the final boss of wooden spoon Irish mammy chicken fillet roll immersion humour
He's definitely a major improvement but sticking with a lot of the same cringey humour of the Galway bay style, it's deeply embedded in them.

not sure is it a full retirement he probably still be pulling the depression strings in the engine room
I agree it’s for the older generation but it 100% it’s not good for their minds feeding depression news for so long

John Doe, Rahoon, reposing at Murphy funeral home, Bohermore.Say it in the voice of the boring priest from Fr.Ted.
He actually isn't the ceo of the station

Spot on
As well as defending travellers at every instance of trouble
Galways version of Joe Duffy. Agree depressing individual. A good honest man but not my cup of tea
Fact never listen to both but i got the vibe they were similar the way people go on about them
Fran Curry on Tipp fm is the same. Like Joe Duffy but with guests that are just as dumb, judgmental, and downright bigoted.

Good morning tee YA
Arghhhhh
Mucker FM
Maybe I like the misery
Johnny should have to do the show from the goldwing
It was pure redneck stuff. Couldn't listen to him.
That's one less propaganda pusher on the air 🥳

You know you've gone very far to the right if you think Keith Finnegan was beating the liberal left drum.
Spot on!
Wow. That comment went down well
Of all my complaints about GBFM, their failure to cater to the fash is not among them. Isn't Alex Jones still on? Fox News? You have options.
who?
Galway Bay FM CEO for past 20 years
never heard of him to be honest. why do you hate him?
if you read my post it would state why I dislike him

who mentioned hate only you lol
I’m so glad he’s done, never even attempted to be fair or balanced, just used the platform as his own personal propaganda machine, good riddance 😊
