Oh, you are 9-3? Good on ya! Love it!

It’s only temporary. They probably see it as a good opportunity to give Jimmy and Nath some prime time experience as part of their plan to develop them into the next drive show while giving themselves some time to get breakfast right. Even if they go with Mike E and Emma, throwing them straight in without preparation would be a bad idea. If they went in now and didn’t fire they then start 2025 with a show that’s already failing.

Who said they’re the new 2025 show?

Surprised they couldn’t even let them see the week out or have a farewell.

If Mike E and Emma are kept in their current Mornings slot until the end of 2024 only to be announced as the new 2Day brekkie team, it’d be the flattest build up to any new brekkie show in history.

They should either have them on 2Day breakfast ASAP, or just shift them to a semi-decent time slot.

This dual 5hr breakfast and mornings talkfest cannot continue. Especially if nobody is rating.

I presume they need to get Hughesy ready for MMM Melbourne breakfast post footy season in September

Hughesy is a fantastic broadcaster, hopefully SCA will keep him and put him on somewhere else.

He’s going to Triple M Melbourne Breakfast (at least temporarily)

Multicast a breakfast show on Channel 10 and SCA with the talent nationally, give it a visual albeit basic same as what they do now on webcams.
I reckon there is an audience not commuting that listens to radio that could have the tv on in the background as an alternate to current offerings

Just air the regional show on 2Day and be done with it.

I really like this idea, and taking breakfast TV with you in the car for continuity. During songs they could just show live streams of various places. Ads could be split for tv vs radio versions.

or even news headlones and other information during songs too

I think they would need to skew the station younger for the Hit Regional Breakfast and also if they were to put Mike E & Emma on 2day fm Breakfast in 2025.

I was in Brisbane earlier this week and had a listen to B105 and it sounded quite good. Put 2day on the B105 log with Mike E and Emma. They may get some of the Nova younger listeners.Run Mike E and Emma 6-10 to go head to head with KJO, and against the first hour of Nova’s daypart. This is what I would do.

Based on the 2DayFM breakfast show over the last 11 years I predict what will happen in 2025 and beyond.
Step 1: A capable duo or trio of talent will be hired for the breakfast show.
Step 2: The names of the talent will be changed to something like “Wanga, Dongo and Roota”
Step 3: The talent will pose for a photo op and pull deranged faces. These photos will appear on billboards up and down Parramatta Road.
Step 4: The talent, the panel operator, producer and all assistants that are within 3 metres of a microphone in the studio will be told to burst out laughing at everything that happens on the show. The laughter must be extreme and non-stop. The laughter must be relentless and loud.
Step 5: The show will rate a 4, possibly a 3.
Step 6: The show is axed.
Step 7: Repeat as above in 2026.

Note: If step 2, 3 and 4 are skipped, then Steps 5, 6 and 7 can be avoided.

C’mon 2DayFM - think outside of the square. It’s time for 2DayFM to “sound different”

2Day FM are moving in that direction with the new format of “90s and Noughties”.

TBH I preferred the previous format with 80s but I guess this already exists in the market now with the recent launch of Priceline radio, hence 2Day FMs differentiation.
