Okay.

In what way is it improved?

Improved in as much as that we have another annoying jingle to laud Dominic Byrne?

This is the same kind of non-information as we had with Yesterday's Weather. Or the exactly the same One Road Travel we had before when we'd be told about a road that DIDN'T have any problems for example.

I know the show's lighthearted, but unless its going to be purely satire (and by God it's not) it might as well have some semi-useful information wjen it comes to outpourings from the man with an egg for a head.

Sort it out soft lad.

Not only is the jingle semi-irritating, semi-halarious... They ask you the listener to inform the nation on traffic problems, hopefully making it truely relative to the listener.

He says the time a lot... thats important I guess.

Can you guess I'm bored at work?

Fathomer - He da law.

I wouldn't say it was funny, slightly amusing, maybe, but not funny. I can see it getting old very quickly, which is a shame, because Dom is a funny bloke.

Thanks.

The new jingle is annoying, but somewhat the extra lyrics are catchy. 6 months is going to be a hell of a long time to run this, perhaps it should be limited to just the one airing instead of all morning after a few weeks?

On another note I don't think it should be knocked until it was does get dull. It's putting it down after just 24 hours of being aired.

The whole idea of the feature is to rip the piss out of traffic news on other breakfast shows, and to just cover one road. That is why its funny.

I have a problem with some stuff on the show, but this really shouldn't worry you. Its a light hearted travel feature that last what, thirty seconds at the most?
