Honestly couldn’t care. I actually prefer H&K starting at 4:30 as it means I don’t miss much of the show by the time I leave work. ---

Starting shows at different times to the competition would help reduce listeners switching to other stations at shift changeover, although at the cost of a reduction in the people switching over from other stations. The times are actually better aligned to actually movements of people. 3-4:30 aligns well to school pickup, and 4:30-6:30 better aligns to people driving home from work. ---

Because the regional staff are mostly on standard full time contracts with just 4 weeks annual leave a year - so they get a couple of weeks for Christmas and a couple of weeks during the year (usually mid-year). Metro breakfast announcers tend to be high profile, higher paid, high maintenance talent that demand longer holidays, on contracts that have very specific conditions and requirements - so their contracts are more based around having them on air really just for the ratings periods. Additionally, the metro stations have enough staff to easily fill in the gaps when teams go in leave, whereas that’s much harder to do in regional areas that have very limited staff numbers. ---
