Big news.

Very big news. End of an era for him. I personally think he has chosen to time it with the HIT rebrand. Not that that is the reason, just that he wants to go and what better time to leave than when the whole station is changing.

Still nothing about the summer line up. Odd.

Travis, they will be remaining as MIX 94.5, not Hit. They will be part of the Hit Network, but will be maintaining their heritage brand, just like 2Day, Fox, SAFM and B105. My guess is Pete Curulli will move over to join that brekky team.

I wonder if we will see Clairys on 96fm in 2021

Clairsy started his radio career on The Eagle in regional radio before joining PMFM then Mix 94.5

As expected.

Would have thought Kymba deserved top billing as longest serving host though

Not sure if it’s been mentioned but they are running ads for Carrie and Tommy on 92.9 advising they will be on Mix 94.5 next year, so they are actively trying to get the Hit audience over to 94.5.

EDIT: also just said R&B Fridays is moving to Mix.

I’d say, for the purposes of having something ready to go, it’s fine. But they will no doubt have new promo shots taken.

They just said on 92.9 that R&B Fridays will be going to Mix 94.5. I must admit, this surprises me. Maybe they will be going full-tilt Hit format after all.

I also just heard the announcer say it was the “last RNB Friday on Hit 929 - but don’t worry - just head along to Mix”

Yeah that’s a surprise. Are they throwing away the existing 94.5 audience?

It sure seems that way. Unless it will be “R&B Fridays” but still skewing a little older than the current incarnation on 92.9? I just can’t see them swinging too far away from their current format because otherwise they’ll just piss off their current audience. They’ll lose some audience, no doubt about it.

But surely they won’t swing to what 92.9 is currently. Otherwise, why wouldn’t they just leave 92.9 as is and push 94.5 to be a fully Triple M station?

I hope so. That’s made me feel a lot more positive about the switch.

So of the 92.9 breakfast show, only Julez doesn’t have a new gig announced. Pete on Mix & Xavier staying with triple m for afl.
