That’s a great photo of Laurel, Gary and Mark.

If they were on air at a Sydney FM station at breakfast they would be either:
a) pulling silly faces
b) covered in gold paint
c) photoshopped and injected with fillers so they don’t look a day over 25
d) forced to wear baseball caps whilst doing all the above

Yep Laurel looks amazing and just natural.

Christian O’Connell was absent from his radio show this morning (Wednesday) after running into a solid glass reinforced door at the house of a friend of his daughter’s on Monday night. He suffered a bump and split nose.

Hillsong Church is tonight officially opening their new Macquarie building at 5 Byfield St, Macquarie Park, right next door to WSFM, KIIS1065 and The Edge 96.1. I wonder if Keller, Jones, Sandilands and O have been invited?

Why would they? What a stupid comment.

I think it was meant to be a kind of tongue in cheek in comment… yes, WHY would Hillsong invite Sandilands in particular.

I don’t think Hillsong are that discerning - if you have money especially!

An in-depth read of this article would suggest that us Sydneysiders should expect to see a new ad for WSFM on TV soon.

Thoughts on what to expect? My guess is that the new ad will mainly be used to promote Jonesy & Amanda. WS fell behind Smooth 95.3 in the ratings at breakfast towards the end of 2020 and with the contracts of J&A up for renewal next year, you’d think ARN Sydney would want their ratings to increase during 2021.

This year’s WSFM showbag. I think it looks similar to last year’s…

EDIT - same bag, cap and sticker as last year.

I heard Bon Jovi’s “Wanted Dead Or Alive” on WS the other day. What a shocking edit!

To shorten the opening guitar riff, they used a jump cut to the first verse that sounds like a needle skipping across a record. There’s plenty of other bad edits throughout the track, making it sound like a choppy amateurish mess. And for a further insult, it was sped up considerably.

If you’re going to mess up a song that much, don’t play it at all.

On the other hand, 96FM don’t do edits to go with their Real Music strategy

Which is good, because it wouldn’t be “real” music then.

The bulk cost of those products is a lot less than the claimed price. A quick Google search found these prices, but the bag seller could source them for less. The cap is worth about $2, duffle bag about $5, Bluetooth speaker about $5, yoyo $1, hand sanitizer around $5. I think the total wholesale price would be less than $28!

Yes.

Which will have awful sound at that price.

That’s their business plan down to a tee. All of the little food items would be from clients.

And not have FM or DAB radio capabilities.

If the WSFM show bag was better tied to their brand, it would have 16 copies of Bryan Adam’s “Summer of 69” in each bag
