Would Murray want to go back to radio?
would radio want Paul Murray to go back to it? His previous ratings indicate not.

Steven Price did not do exceptional well on 2ue but is number one now on 2gb. No competition now.
Whatās wrong with Dee Dee?
Iām a fan 
Has Eddie McGuire ever being employed by 3AW over the years ???
Donāt think so. Heās been at Triple M on and off plus 3XY and 3EE back in the 1990s. Possibly been on SEN? I canāt recall.
From the Nine Network Upfronts news topic. Hadley is missing. Nine doesnāt think Ray is as important as Ray thinks he is? At 2GB he gets star billing alongside Alan.

It would seem to me that Mark Levy will be catapulted in as a possible replacement for Jones or/Hadley when they choose to retire or for some other reasonā¦ Levy sounds a heck of a lot like Hadley.
My dad said the same thing.
Mark Levy seems pretty mellow to me which is completely different to Hadley and Jones.
Too much like Hadley which will probably work against him in time. Otherwise, heās a pretty good broadcaster but needs way more profile before taking over Jones/Hadley. Surely others like Steve Price would be ahead of him in the pecking order
Imagine the job description for the person who takes over from Alan Jones at 2GB:
- Ability to cause outrage over electricity bills whilst at the same time support cuts to penalty rates, unemployment benefits and pensions
- Psychopathic hatred of Malcolm Turnbull
- Would need to be a suspect if Clover Moore was killed
- An incredible empathy with Stephanie and the new fascist party she is forming
- Ability to make nasty remarks about the Prime Minister if the PM suffers a death in the family
- Aptitude to be able to enjoy a warming planet
- Ability to remember to send Tony Abbott flowers every February 14
- Capacity to cause racial riots in otherwise peaceful seaside suburbs
- No need for any on-air television presence

When a Sydney traffic reporter does a traffic report into Melbourneā¦ Liveā¦ On the biggest station on the weekend 
Urgh, one of the most nervous, awkward and confused traffic reports Iāve ever heard!
Thanks āWarran Purchaseā.
ATNās Melbourne weekend guy obviously away
Yes, once the footyās over, traffic reports return to 3AW on weekend afternoons (to make the quota during the footy, thereās a traffic report at half-past each afternoon hour on weekdays). Though the Grand Final was a couple of weeks ago.

I donāt see a problem.
Have a listen to ABC Newsradio they have one person read the traffic report for every capital city

It shows why traffic reporting shouldnāt be done from another city unless the staff member is well versed in pronunciation and major roads.
Regularly happens in Adelaide, traffic reports come from any of the three major eastern capitals.
Brisbane too. River 949 have the gall to have Sando on weekends giving a fishing and beach report, itās laughable, can see right through it.

Melbourneās Jimmy Wirtanen has often done traffic reports on Sydney radio, and Warren Purchase spreads himself far and wide as do other ATN reporters. Itās not unusual.

If they do a good job, fine, if not, get them off air.

At least Chris Miller is a gun traffic reporter and actually knows what heās talking about.
Heās also with Jimmy Wirtanen in the VicRoads TMC, so when something happens, he can actually look at it!
Also 3AWās weekday morning traffic reporter as of this year, biggest radio program in the country
Also a car and movie tragic, doing Behind The Wheel podcasts & regualrly talking about movies to ABC radioās Raf Epstein during his afternoon crosses
