Staying with Seven presumably?

Maybe part of ARN’s recent restructure? With Intern Pete redeployed & 4x KJ staff made redundant?

‘It’s really been wonderful. But look, the grind of holding down two jobs at both ends of the day was really and something had to give. I had some serious conversations with my wife, Bonnie, and I’ve decided the time is right to put that early morning alarm clock away for a while and concentrate on my TV roles and my very very very energetic young family.”

He is staying with the Seven Network

I’d say SWM didn’t want Alex to work for the competition at ARN.

Watch him pop-up at Triple M.

This is going to happen a lot more with Seven and SCA stations, and if Nine gets their hands on ARN.

Anyone on both Triple M NRL and Nine won’t be for example.

I know they’re not in the same building - but it would’ve been good to reunite Alex & Karl on GOLD.

Have one in Melboune, one in Sydney. They did with Wendy and Peter on 2Day FM in their heyday. I’m assuming they’re going to have to do it with Karl and Eddie?

Strange to finish on a Monday. I’d say he wanted to see out his 12 month contract or the network had other ideas and wasn’t renewed?

This might be unpopular, but something’s rotten on that show. Jack Post finishes up with a few days notice, Alex announces he’s leaving on the day, they seem to be constantly hiring new producers - they’re hiring again. And I don’t know what happened to that Josh guy that they had on the show, he seems to have disappeared.

I don’t know how long Intern Pete will last!

Haven’t they had the same producers for a while?

Yeah something doesn’t smell right to me either.

Actually come to think of it, makes sense to move Alex on if you’re bringing in Pete. The show has enough voices as it is.
