On the rova app homepage there is a little icon in the top right with some dots and a line where you can search for a station by name, also when listening to a station you can press the star in the top right and favourite a station which then moves it to the favourite section at the bottom of the screen ---

There was a quote from Gary McCormick about Today FM shutting down in the Herald this morning, this coming after he moved over from More FM and was only on Today for 5 weeks. Surely Mediaworks must have had an inkling of what was going to happen by then? In any case, McCormick is quite unhappy and I daresay he could be taking legal action: _A stable of big-name broadcasters was suddenly silenced with the well-publicised closure of Today FM late last month. As Media Insider revealed last week, a large cohort of axed staff are looking at a group legal action to take on MediaWorks and the way it handled the closure._ _You have to feel for one of New Zealand radio’s best-known voices, **Gary McCormick** , who joined Today just five weeks before its closure, shifting across from the breakfast show on one of MediaWorks’ sister stations, More FM._ _ **According to an internal document, McCormick is an independent contractor and therefore not eligible for redundancy. This seems a harsh outcome for a man who spent 19 years behind the microphone at More, helping it become a ratings monster at one stage.** _ \*It is understood high-profile employment lawyer Penelope Ryder-Lewis will be representing McCormick - he has known her husband, Sir Hugh Rennie, for many years. _McCormick said he could not comment on any legal matters but he was looking at all of his options._ _He said he was in a “state of shock” on the day of the closure. It had come completely out of the blue, as he was preparing for his weekly show, including an interview he had lined up. He had walked into the office and found a video call under way._ _In an interview with Stuff’s Adam Dudding in February, McCormick said: “I am an organisation’s worst nightmare if they cross me. It’s just if I think something’s going wrong, then I’m not going to take it.”_ _Prescient words._ The bold part is what gets me - how was he a contractor? He only moved divisions in the company, not quit and came back later. ---

> [@my\_names\_mr\_burns](#): > > The bold part is what gets me - how was he a contractor? He only moved divisions in the company, not quit and came back later. It’s not necessarily uncommon for some broadcasters to remain contractors. Some do it to retain the ability to do freelance work (MC, writing, TV, advertising) without it falling under the auspices of the company. Of course, they don’t get the security of being a FTE, but they have more scope to do their own projects etc. Whether Gary was an independent contractor during his More FM days or only did that once he transitioned into the Today role will be interesting. ---
