Abc local talk is actually catching old 2sm callers like Mark the tree cutter, Dave sutherland gave him the nickname years ago ,

More open line talk on abc might help stop the brainless blow off on 2sm.

ABC Sports Daily appears to be no longer on anymore at 6:30pm weeknights according to online guides.

3973

Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide still have it listed for the rest of the week.

3974

Appears to have only been dropped from Brisbane - presumably to give them an extra 15 minutes of local content since they lose an hour of the evenings show so they can take Nightlife live when the southern states have DST

3975

Still been airing in Brisbane this week. The show looks to have disappeared from the online guide when daylight savings started. So might just be a guide issue with the adjustment of time zones.

Is Bridget Duclos now permanent on 774 Melbourne afternoons? Sorry if I missed it further back in the thread.

3981

Yes she has been the arvos host since the beginning of this year: Brigitte Duclos joins 774 ABC Melbourne in 2025 - About the ABC

3982

God, she is truly awful. And that voice. Yikes.

I thought she might only be being used as a fill-in. Thanks for letting me know.

As someone on here said, 774 Melbourne has become a retirement home for third rate ex commercial FM folks who probably can’t get work elsewhere.

Yeah I miss the unhinged crazy gen x aunt energy that Jacinta brought during lockdown. I know she had to leave daily radio due to her health issues, but they should have chosen a similarly aged presenter. The arvos show now is less daggy and fun and more boring and unlistenable.
