The Greatest Hits of All Time and the People You Know - This programme features guests from local life in Castlebar. Johnny's assistant broadcaster, Paschal Doherty, joins him on air along with guests from various charities, support groups and voluntary organizations. These guest spots feature throughout the programme and are short and chatty, keeping the listener entertained as well as informed. The music is carefully selected from the 60s, 70s and 80s as part of our weekday theme “The Greatest Hits of All Time and The People You Know”. “The people You Know” refers to the guests who are familiar names throughout the community. There is news every hour for 5 mins at 15 minutes to the hour and a short chat on the days headlines twice throughout the programme with Peggy McGing.

Mike keeps you company throughout the afternoon with the emphasis on entertainment! Again, the show is peppered with guests from local organisations, entertainers and event organisers. Our daytime theme "The Greatest Hits of All Time and the People You Know" continues with a wide selection of the greatest hits from the 60s, 70s and 80s. The programme will broadcast live regularly from various venues around the town focussing on community life.

Gerry Carney is probably the finest songwriter ever to come out of Mayo. His style ranges from contempory ballads to Irish classics such as "Paddy", the biggest hit on the Irish music scene in the past decade. His radio show is honest and refreshing, reflecting his own personality and attitude towards life in general. Gerry plays Irish and American country, contempory and classic and is a favourite with overseas listeners on our online service as well as a loyal local audience. The Country Lounge is compulsory listening for the many artists who make up the show also and they are all regular guests on the show. This is how a country show should be!
