And now having the chance to get their viewsstraight back by text is wonderful. It’s such a privilege to sit at their breakfast tables,share the school run – and sometimes even the shower!”Seamus McKee says: “One of the things I’m proudest of on Good Morning Ulster is theaudience - its size, its loyalty, and its eagerness to tell you if you get things wrong!Texting and e-mailing bring an increasingly fast response from people and means thatwe can sometimes put the listeners concerns directly to an interviewee. Whatdo I enjoy most? Dealing with a greatly changed news agenda here, and getting upin the middle of the night, of course.”Conor Bradford says: “Good Morning Ulster is the classic radio start to the day for peoplewho really want to know what’s going on. We report on the big stories and explorethe issues in key interviews that set the news tone for the day. We also relish life’s quirkierlittle sub-plots that bring warmth and laughter to our listeners - and get themtexting back their no-nonsense views on the topic of the day. I can only be proud to be apart of all that.”External links
