she does a lot of multimedia work as well and wants to continue doing that.
It appears theyâve moved The Queen Sesh to 10pm Sundayâs now. Last stop before the axe Iâd imagine.

Is this following its move from Sunday mornings to now being Sunday 6-8pm?
Yep
Great, at best it was podcast worthy rather than a national show.
Hit Adelade are now taking a similar route to 2DAY in Sydney by introducing 80âs and more 90âs into their playlist.
So far today theyâve played Madonnaâs âMaterial Girlâ in Breakfast, and Belinda Carlisle, Roxette, Shania Twain and others across the day.
Positioning seems to have shifted to be âEven More Hits & Old Schoolâ. I heard a lot more just â107.1â mentions without the âHitâ.

(s)HIT105 obviously do not realise that Kesha does not sing âThis Is Meâ in The Greatest Showman, they keep using a soundbite of the actress Kaela Settle(who performs the song in the movie) referring to performing the song in front of Hugh Jackman each time the introduce the song.
Also their daytime announcer references the repetitiveness of Zeddâs 2 most recent songs each time he introduces the song(at least once daily), oh the irony.

Thatâs funny because Tim Blackwell made a sarcastic comment about that song yesterday too. Marty said must have missed that bit and Tim quickly responded along the lines of âDonât worry, Iâm sure weâre going to play it again soonâ and they all laughed hard about that. 
Itâs obviously becoming a big issue for all the hosts of these CHR stations. Playing the so few songs, so often, gives them less to talk about in regards to musical artists these days.

Iâd agree, it canât be easy for a daytime announcer to come up with much originality as they place the same thing day in day out, however they need to have some recollection of saying the same thing. Give themselves a â5 factsâ about each song/artist in the playlist should it be so repetitive.
Big issue� Why would they care� They get paid fat salaries and get to laugh about it.
Not like theyâre talking much abou the music anyway
When I listen to the radio during the day, I donât hear any originality at allâŚ
More like âhey howâs this great new one from Bruno and donât forget to give us a call and tell us what colour shirt Brunoâs wearing in this clip and youâll win ten THOUSAND dollars!!! Isnât that great, callerâŚ?â
Caller: âoh my god I LOVE Bruno marsâ
âWell here he is, itâs 24K Magic on CHR FMâ
Rinse, repeat etc.

Because they have to listen to the tracks (at least part of them) and its starting to drive them mad so theyâre all taking the piss now.

Just because they play a soundbite of Kaela Settle talking about performing the song in front of Hugh Jackman and then playing the Kesha (soundtrack) version doesnât mean SCA donât realise Kesha doesnât perform it in the movie itself.

Meh, if you were getting paid anywhere from $500k - over a million or more per year, I donât think youâd really care that much about song repetitionâŚ
I sure wouldnât
This is something I think 2Day couldâve done. Instead of completely dropping their trendy Hits & Old School positioner they couldâve simply expanded on it and truly followed through. Plus keep âhitâ in their logo.
You seem think money is the solution to everything.

except when they say here she is talking about the first time she performed it.

Correct me if Iâm wrong, but I was under the impression that annual salaries of $500k+ were reserved for the top tier breakfast & drive hosts.
A figure somewhere between $100k (maybe not even as much as that) and $250k is probably more realistic for a daytime announcer on an FM station, even in a large market like Sydney or MelbourneâŚ
Halve that and youâre closer to the mark.

Greg Burns might, but not many others would be. Last I heard, SCA were paying their full time Sydney/Melbourne daytime hosts somewhere around $80k give or take. The other metros would be less than that.
