I agree that ARN will probably try to network Christian into Sydney, and possibly other markets. However, I have more concern about that that K&J in Melbourne. K&J have a show that doesn’t have much local content, to the extent that the move into Melbourne really won’t see much if any change to what the Sydney listeners are used to hearing.
Christian on the other hand has a very local show. It references Melbourne suburbs, AFL etc in almost every break - I’d go so far as saying that he built his brand in Melbourne by becoming more local than the existing Melbourne breakfast shows. Now is Christian capable of toning that down and making it less local. Certainly. But it’s going to change the on air product and could very well see a siginficant move away from his show - particularly if it were to happen at a time when he moved to Triple M as they’d lose any benefit that they might get from the rusted on listeners.
