Music stations used to play music not content. Breakfast 6 to 9, then announcers did 3 to 4 hours shifts right thru to 7 when the hot 30 would start. No wonder everybody listens to Spotify now

Yeah I just donât get what theyâre thinking, especially in drive time. Every time I put 97.3 on in the afternoon itâs just a talkathon of the most inane subjects, when all people want is some damn music. Same with Triple M. I really think radio will be dead in a few years unless they wake up to themselves - itâs driving people to other platforms. I donât care what the ratings say, they are BS. Just ask friends/workmates what they are listening to and itâs increasingly not mainstream commercial stations. Itâs other stations (eg. Community, fringe stations, or DAB music stations) or itâs Spotify etc.

Itâs inevitable he will permanently become part of the show.

Interesting break from Jimmy and Nath on SCA nights. Who do we think came off the best here? Mitch Churi getting the laugh to break was a highlight although smallzy got some digs in there

Us radioheads always love when material like this pops up.
Brilliant banter between the 3x night shows (plus Abbie).
Extremely loose radio, which is always a good laugh (and is probably what makes K&J and Hamish & Andy the success they are).

Whatâs everyoneâs thoughts on the new pickup on 973/ARN pre drive? They seem to be doing well. I hear bits and bobs and enjoy it.
To me itâs just more inane chatter on FM when Iâd rather hear great music with a low key but engaging announcer. This type of show just drives me to other stations like Breeze or to DAB offerings.

K&J are live from Paris all week this week alongside their newsreader Brooklyn Ross. They start the show from 10PM-2AM Paris time.

Not from Paris, theyâre doing the show from St Tropez (theyâre broadcasting out of the NRJ studios there).

They never go to 6hrs though.
From what I heard this morning the show is only to go until 10am EST, 2am European DST. NRJ has to have staff there for them, and they have to pack up their gear after the show finishes, that is what they said this morning on the show.

How much gear did they take to Paris? They will need time to set up for each dayâs show and time to pack up.

How much gear theyve taken to Paris doesnt matter when theyre doing the show from St Tropez. I think thats that J Bar is alluding to

FairâŚis it the gear or the city thatâs the issue lol.
Regardless, pack up/pack down wouldnât take too long with modern radio equipment. Especially if you were leveraging some of NRJâs stuff too.
