Carrie & Tommy would actually sound good at Sydney breakfast.
Presumably because of the overlap between Maryborough (Hit101.9) with Bundaberg (Hitz 939)? Doesnât explain 104.1 though.
Absolutely agree
Yeah, it does sound crazy, but itâs been done before. Itâs not usually a great idea either, but in 2DayFMâs case it canât get much worse.
Youâre probably right on that one, but itâs not really a requirement in 2020.
MediaSpy has found a solution - but do we think they would agree to do breakfast?
Agreed. Smallzy would be a good coup, but I doubt heâd leave Nova.
Theyâd both have to leave The Project to do it, so not sure. Thereâd have to be a big carrot dangled.
Not Smallzy exactly, but they type of show heâs doing with a solid name attached.
Maz did work, in afternoons. Problem was, the network wanted ratings to combat K&J overnight, something that takes years.
I noticed that too⌠Odd as you already have I Heart 90s on ARNâŚ
What I liked about Oldskool was it was a variety of 80s, 90s and 00s.
Seems to have narrowed the playlist more.
A promo for The Foxâs 40th anniversary appeared on their Instagram page this week

Eagle-eyed viewers may have noticed something interesting in the carousel of logos at the start of the clip, namely this:
A very unique logo there. Wonder where that came from?
Obviously the Fox brand has become iconic in Melbourne but I still donât really get where it came from and why it was chosen originally. Anyone know?
Iâd love to know that story, also not the only 101.9 Fox FM thatâs existed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WQJJ-LP
I was going to post a screenshot of that, very interesting. Something they should have done as part of the rebrand I think. Really go back to its roots.
Fox are doing a retrospective podcast it seems, but I can only find it on their website and not through Apple podcasts which is a shame.
Hopefully they launch separate Old Skool 80âs & 00âs only stations one day.
And, that, 2Day FM, is how you celebrate a milestone.
The last decade or so of 2DayFM isnât really worth celebrating though.
Fair enough re: K&J, but surely 2Day couldâve had something similar? Put Wendy, Mooney & Holmesy back together along with the rest of that Fox lineup?
Back to Fox - itâs interesting theyâve got Matt & Jo⌠no bad blood there I suppose?
I wonder if theyâd ever bringing those two back maybe for a summer fill in or weekend morning show? Or even possibly a regular podcast? Considering Foxâs recent ratings and the fact M&J are both no longer in radio, this could quite easily be a possibility.
They could have got Dan and Maz, Fifi and Jules, Hamish and Andy with Merrick and Sophie too.
Plenty of talent outside of Kyle and Jackie O to showcase 2Day FM.
SO true. Just the successful OTHER shows are enough to fill the day.
They could even bring Ron E. Sparkes back.
Of course, Wendy Harmer is also currently presenting the breakfast show on another Sydney radio station!
Aside from that point, how much of 2DayFMâs current audience is likely to be nostalgic for the old 1990s/2000s Morning Crew?
Probably a few, considering all the 90s pop theyâre playing at the moment
