Fifi, Fev and Byron this morning is pre-recorded. I’m assuming yesterday was too. Fev and Byron spent Easter in the US and are in transit returning home.

No yesterday was just Hits and Old School in Breakfast, today Keegs is in playing Best Bits and they are all back tomorrow, my guess won’t damage ratings that much because as we saw in Survey 1, Jase and PJ will take a while to settle into Melbourne so them being back Easter Monday and doing a full week and Fifi Fev and Byron only doing half won’t be that much of an issue, although Triple M will definitely see a boost in their Breakfast ratings in Survey 2. @SydneyCityTV Yes it isn’t a certainty but by the way they are going the only station that will overtake them will be 105.1 Triple M or smoothfm which isn’t a bad sign as both of these stations and Fox always rate consistently well in Melbourne.

2DAY FM is Sydney’s desperation station.

This would’ve been unheard of a few years ago.

There have been plenty of times in the past that radio stations have had non-stop music.

Limited inventory strategies are hardly new. It’s no secret that listeners “wander” when ads come on, so all programmers should be trying to play as few ads as possible, as infrequently as possible.

My concern would be this:

> [@](#):

> Mumbrella understands it is making the changes on days when the level of advertising inventory allows for ads to be shifted to peaktime instead.

If true, this means that the station has a significant amount of ad spots that it can’t sell. During the 6 hours they went ad free yesterday, that’s at least 96 spots (based on 30 second ads at 2x 4-minutes ad breaks per hour) that haven’t been sold. I wonder if this is a new problem or if they’ve been filling the schedule with freebies for years?

Consistent survey results of 2DAY and 2MMM seem to contradict this.

You’re joking @tommy13190, I have self respect, wouldn’t deliver my resume to either SCA or ARN.

I heard 2Day having a blatant dig at Nova with one of the testimonials they play, where a supposed listener says that she used to listen to 96.9 but it was too repetitive and made the switch to 2Day.

Attack promos don’t work, just a misuse of the airwaves for egotistical personal sledging between stations.

In most cases, it doesn’t connect with the audience, only for the radio types.
