Had a random flashback moment just then: does anyone remember when Australian Idol was simulcast on what was then the Today Network?
My memory of this is very brief - I’d listen to Fox FM at night for the Hot30 Countdown and then American Top 40 on Sundays, but occasionally caught the end of Idol. How long did this run for?
In news about a 2DAY staff member we’d probably all prefer not hear any more of, Em Rusciano is pregnant:
No confirmation so far that 2DAY staff nor rival stations are running a sweep as to time before Em’s baby becomes irritated with her and transforms into Damien from The Omen.
The latest ad for 2DayFM to hit Sydney’s TV screens featuring Ed, Em & Grant, without really promoting the breakfast program:
If the media reports of rumours about behind the scenes tension between these three are at all true, I’d probably pay money to see the footage of Ed, Em & Grant which didn’t make it into the final cut of this ad!
Amos has been signed to a US agent for his stand up comedy, Cat is going on an extended holiday to South America and Angus is staying with the Hit Network presumably in some sort of new role in 2019.
Interesting comments from Gemma Fordham:
“Amos, Cat and Angus have been an incredible asset to our network,” surmised Hit Network head of content Gemma Fordham .
“However, with the shift in our target audience we’re excited to deliver a local show in Adelaide that will line up with our variety music strategy and that will also complement our two existing drive shows.”
