This sums up the last two years Of my radio life since moving to Australia two years ago.
The show marks two years today and nothing could’ve prepared me for the wild ride it’s been. From show 1 it was made very clear I was ‘uninvited’ ‘not wanted down under’ and ‘boring as bat shit’. But, you gave me a go. Which is pretty incredible.
Despite doing breakfast radio 22 years I’ve learnt more and grown more in the last 24 months and that is down to the amazing support from our radio family here in Melbourne, now across Australia and all over the world with the podcasters.
I meant what I said this morning on air. The show is me, @jackpost@patrinajonesnewman, and you. The stories and jokes I get everyday from you are what makes the show
Thank you
For your honest feedback in the early days, which only made me dig deeper, and your joy in what we are building now.
Thanks to a daredevil who dared to bring a British DJ out here, Duncan Campbell. What was he thinking?
Thanks to Jack and Pats for being open to everything.
The Pure Gold Network will launch “JAM Nation”, featuring WSFM’s Jonesy & Amanda, to be aired 6-7pm weeknights on WSFM, Gold 104.3, 4KQ & Cruise 1323 from Tuesday 9th June.
They used to, but they haven’t aired Jonesy & Amanda highlights on that timeslot for the last few years.
That means from Tuesday, WS & Gold will air highlights of WS’s breakfast show from Sydney at 6-7pm, followed by highlights of Gold’s breakfast show from Melbourne at 7-8pm.
On KIIS, it’s Kyle and Jackie O at 6pm, followed by Jase and PJ at 7pm. Except in Adelaide, Brisbane and Perth, where O’Connell airs at 7pm followed by Jase and PJ at 8pm. Except that Perth doesn’t take Jase and PJ. And Melbourne airs an extra hour of Kyle and Jackie O, pushing Jase and PJ back to 8pm.
On Pure Gold now it’s Jonesy and Amanda at 6pm, and O’Connell at 7pm. Except in Adelaide and Brisbane.
