That was a bit of a confusing article but at least at the end it was recognised that the ABC needs to provide some return on the investment in the form of appealing to a broader audience. I get the feeling change will be glacial though. ---

@OnAir @TelevisionAU How much longer are you guys going to keep this thread, and the ABC News Channel thread continue like this? Presenter rosters are posted weekly in these threads but more often than not end up being incorrect. The only conversation this seems to be generating is members correcting the posts and posting who’s actually on air. What’s the point of it? ---

Sharnelle Vella and Bob Murphy hosted evenings in Victoria, Queensland, SA and NT this week, as a dress rehearsal for their Melbourne breakfast show next month. I listened to their Wednesday show on ABC listen app, and it was quite good. Being a semi-national show there were just one or two local topics. Who else has listened to their show? ---

> [@JohnsonTV](#): > > Who else has listened to their show? I had a brief listen earlier this week - they sound like a good duo with good chemistry. Hopefully they get decent ratings in the Breakfast slot, though what’s definitely sure is that they will get better ratings than the station who airs Kyle and Jackie O 😉. ---
