Brad I guess? He left a few months ago.
She was lucky to get employed at another station so soon
If KIIS networked in March and she lost her role then, that’s a fair few months between starting at B105 last week.
She’s joining us as casual
LUCY & NIKKI ARE RADIO GOLD AND EXPAND NATIONAL NIGHTS WEEKEND SHOW ON THE HIT NETWORK
The Hit Network today announced that Lucy Jackson and Nikki Westcott, hosts of the Hit Network’s Saturday Nights show Lucy & Nikki and LiSTNR podcast Happy Hour with Lucy & Nikki, are extending their national radio show to include Friday nights.
From Friday 27 September, Lucy & Nikki will be heard from 7pm-10pm on Friday and Saturday nights across the Hit Network. Real and unfiltered, the girls discuss everything usually locked up in your friends’ group chat. With plenty of banter, infectious fun and party vibes, the show will continue to bring a killer playlist and all the LOLs to weekend Nights.
Jackson and Westcott’s expanded presence on the Hit Network follows a hugely successful break-through year with their show taking the helm as Australia’s #1 FM metro Night show for All People 10+ on Saturday nights*. In addition, since joining LiSTNR, the pair’s podcast, Happy Hour with Lucy & Nikki, has consistently featured in the top twenty of the Australian Podcast Ranker Top 200 Australian Podcasts**, with an average monthly audience of more than 250,000 listeners.
"Surprise!” Lucy said. "We’re excited to announce an extra night for the Lucy & Nikki national radio show on the Hit Network!”
Nikki continued, “We are just so overwhelmed with all the love from our listeners, that it felt only right to give them more laughs, candid chats, and unforgettable moments. Tune in for a bonus dose of fun as we extend the show for one more night!”
Head of Hit Metro Content, Amanda Lee, said: “We are thrilled to have Lucy and Nikki expanding their presence on the Hit Network. From their very first show, it was obvious that the girls were a natural fit for the Hit Network and the perfect way for our listeners to fire up their weekend nights.
“The Lucy & Nikki show on Saturday nights has been such a huge success, with our listeners loving the girls’ fun fuelled approach, that we couldn’t resist expanding the show to a second night.”
Listen to Lucy & Nikki on the Hit Network from 7pm to 10pm on Friday and Saturday nights and on LiSTNR. New episodes of Happy Hour with Lucy & Nikki also drop weekly on LiSTNR.
“It’s been an amazing ride.” Tim Lordan departs SCA
After an impressive commercial radio career spanning more than 25 years, Tim Lordan is looking forward to life’s next adventure, after parting ways with Perth’s Mix 94.5.
Tim’s role as the station’s Afternoons host and Assistant Content Director officially wrapped up a week ago, as redundancies take effect at SCA.
No, Fifi, Fev and Nick broadcast live from Royal Melbourne Showgrounds yesterday morning before gates opened for the first day of Melbourne Royal Show.
Good luck to SCA and the six staff they have left lol
And five of them are probably interns as well
Are the Hit Network team doing anything for the NRL GF?
Why would Hit do anything? Usually it’s just Triple M.
Tim was at Mix 94.5 for 13 years.
Fox FM’s Fifi, Fev and Nick are still doing live shows this week, even though most of their rivals are on radio ratings survey break. The team will broadcast live from Cranbourne West Community Hub in Melbourne’s outer south east this Friday (October 11), raising money for Cancer Council Victoria for their work in cancer research.
Well done The Fox. You can read KIIS101.1 (and K&J) like a book - knowing that they’re not on-air today. I’d be going hard on the live stuff if I were Nova100 and The Fox today.
To be fair, Jase and Lauren also took a scheduled survey break last week, while Fifi, Fev and Nick continued their live shows.
Oh I thought they were live last week. They are off this week though.
KJ are off today because it’s a public holiday in NSW, but not Victoria. Hence why FF&N are still on today. I’m guessing in the KJ contract they observe NSW public holidays.
What used to happen with previous networked FM breakfast shows? E.g. with Triple M’s The Cage when it was a holiday in certain states, but not all?
I like what Melbourne Radio Wars podcast says… there is a difference between a networked breakfast show, and simply piping in a Sydney breakfast show.
K&J are simply piping in their Sydney show - not really catering for the larger/broader market.
From what I’ve heard with SCA generally national shows continue as normal when it’s not a country wide public holiday. Although they’re probably allowed to come in early and pre-record on the the day and have an early mark.
Depends on the show - Marty was in best-of mode for the Vic Grand Final public holiday, while NSW Rush Hour is off today.
