Fox’s Fifi, Fev and Nick is organising a footy team called the Underdogs, to make a special moment for kids who are struggling in school or sporting clubs. The team will take to the field before the AFL match between Carlton and Port Adelaide at Marvel Stadium, on Friday night, July 26, with the support of the AFL and Seven.

More details (and for parents to register their children) can be found at the Fox website.

I cannot believe Hughesy, Ed & Erin are doing a lie detector segment. It’s some of the hosts (not listeners) but still I thought they would not even utter those words ever again in that company.

Why would that be?

Fair dinkum. Who would listen to this garbage. Aren’t there broadcasting standards that radio stations have to adhere to? Shouldn’t this stuff be banished to late nights and not in the mornings with children listening?

THEY’RE GOING TO DO WHAT? CARRIE & TOMMY TEAM UP WITH HARD RATED TO CRUSH ‘LEMON’ PRODUCTS, INCLUDING A CAR!

To celebrate Hard Rated’s delicious lemon flavour, Hard Rated, Australia’s #1 alcoholic lemon premix, has partnered with the Hit Network and Australia’s #1 national Drive show, Carrie & Tommy, for a month-long partnership and show promotion.

Running from 8 July to 2 August, the centerpiece of the campaign is a custom-built Hard Rated hydraulic press that Carrie and Tommy will use to crush all sorts of products that they consider a ‘lemon’. Think a Zoodle Maker, calculator watches, and scented toilet paper.

Throughout the campaign, listeners will also share stories about their ‘lemon’ cars, culminating in an epic car yard stunt with a branded Hard Rated car crusher that will crush two listeners’ cars. The twist will be that whilst both cars wind-up crushed to smithereens, only the owner of one crushed car will walk away with a cool $50,000 prize.

The national campaign is a collaboration between SCA, PHD and Carlton & United Breweries and was created by The Studio, SCA’s in-house commercial creative team. As well as the final grand crushing of the ultimate lemon cars, the campaign is supported by a social media campaign and on-air promos and brand commercials across the Hit Network, which has Australia’s largest audience of 25-54 listeners*.

Hard Rated Marketing Manager Amy Pollock-Hall, said: “Our classic lemon taste is what’s made Hard Rated so popular with consumers, so when we were presented with the idea of celebrating our lemony taste by partnering with Carrie and Tommy to literally crush lemon cars, it felt like the perfect match.”

SCA Head of Client Services and Partnerships, Trevor Crook, said: “This campaign demonstrates our ability to offer clients an effective integration with our content and talent and we are excited to see it come to life over the next month. Carrie & Tommy will crush it.”

It has been a VERY long time since a major metro programme has run such an outgoing comp. Well done SCA for re-energising radio.

Ridiculous moving Jimmy and Nath from national nights when they could just move Mike E and Emma.

Has anyone heard B105’s remix of A Bar Song (Tipsy) to promote free ekka tickets on their stations?

It played for a solid 1 minute as an intro to the actual song this morning. It’s the most unhinged thing I’ve heard on Hit.

“Goes one, to the two to the three to the four, B105’s got your free ekka tickets!”

Seems like they’ve made poor decision after poor decision following Kyle and Jackie O leaving for KIIS. Don’t think they can recover at this point.

Isn’t it a bit of fun and something different? Thanks for listening to the B!

Hey Ellie,

While we have you, the website doesn’t have schedules anymore.

Who replaced Brad?

Thanks!
