BlueSkies 12 Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 This article says he is reading the news:http://www.imediamonkey.com/2013/03/08/dominic-byrne-joins-capital-breakfast/Whether he will have a more on-air role than what Tina does now I'm not sure, I hope so though.

BlueSkies 12 Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Did anyone hear him this morning? I listened for a bit, heard him do the news, but that was it. My first time listening to Capital Breakfast, and I think the last. Got annoyed by adverts, the music was just the current top 40 (made me realise that actually Radio 1's Playlist is pretty decent and varied!), and it felt like Dave and Lisa were just reading from a script. I was hoping to hear more of Dom, so don't know if he was introduced more into the show for the rest of it, but got bored listening before I might have got that far. Anyone listen to the whole thing?

DC 86 Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 Is it wrong that I've never heard of Dave and Lisa? Quote on the grid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harkinson 11 Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 Don't get Dave & Lisa in Scotland. Thank god. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viv 14 Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 Is it wrong that I've never heard of Dave and Lisa?Nope !! I believe Lisa may be a former model. They let anybody into radio these days, and that is half the problem.

Hammer 10 Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 Nope !! I believe Lisa may be a former model. They let anybody into radio these days, and that is half the problem.Lisa Snowdon started presenting on MTV more than a decade ago, and Dave Berry has plenty of radio and TV experience. I hardly think they're "just anybody". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viv 14 Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 MTV.... !! Oh..... er... WOW !! My point is the days of career radio DJs, and people getting a chance through student radio are on the decline.

The Stig 11 Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 MTV.... !! Oh..... er... WOW !! My point is the days of career radio DJs, and people getting a chance through student radio are on the decline.I'm not sure that's true. Capital has lots of ex student radio presenters including last year's Silver Best Male on East Midlands, and with regards to Radio 1 former Best Male Pete Allison is in for Dev week after next.

xmanda89x 10 Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 I remember Dave Berry now, he was all over MTV around 2003/4 then vanished.I thought I recognized the name. Can't imagine he's much fun to listen to on the radio.Congrats to Dom though, well deserved! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OohErr 231 Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 Dom's now left Capital FM: Dominic Byrne @domisatwit · Jun 21 Just about to read my last ever bulletin on <s>@</s>958capbreakfast. Big thanks to <s>@</s>daveberry_tweet <s>@</s>Lisa_Snowdon <s>@</s>little_richie and <s>@</s>paulphelps Dominic Byrne @domisatwit · Jun 21 Getting up at 4.30am every morning finally got the better of me!! So.. Off to do lots of exciting stuff now - and have a bloody long lie-in!Find it strange that after eight years of getting up early for The Chris Moyles Show, he's decided he can't do it anymore after just over a year at Capital! Whilst it's a shame he's not reading the news anymore, I have to admit I'm slightly happy- it always felt like he'd joined the dark side after he went to Capital. As ridiculous and unreasonable as it sounds, I did feel a bit betrayed! Hope he's got other good stuff coming up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
