I actually reckon Robert Rakete could go alright there, but I doubt it’ll happen. My guess is Andrew Dickens will take charge Mo-Fr. ---

Jason is very talented and I was quite sad when he left. I was happy when he turned up on ZM Saturday mornings, but I feel his talent was a bit wasted there as he was capable of better. I’m glad he found a new outlet in Coast though 🙂 ---

> Completely different circumstances with that one, I don’t even know how you could make that comparison. Sorry, you’re right - I guess the comparison I was trying to make was that in both instances they had anything about them taken down in a hell of a hurry. I remember when Jason left The Edge back in 2004 (as above), I used to be on their mailing list and for at least a few months they would send it out on a letterhead still featuring his pic at the top. It wasn’t until a few months after he had left that they finally updated the website saying something like “after 6 years, we’ve been told that Jason won’t be returning to The Edge” with their e-mail address to pass on any messages to him. I imagine they didn’t do anything of the sort, and I actually e-mailed them asking if he had left due to a dispute (which I knew was true, I just wanted to see what they would say) and got a reply along the lines of “I hope not!”. ---

Interesting interview with Brad formerly of The Hits, now back at Mediaworks: > **[What happened after The Hits dropped Brad Watson: 'I just broke right down.'](https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/media-technology/523926/what-happened-after-the-hits-dropped-brad-watson-i-just-broke-right-down)** > > The broadcaster was told "It's never going to work ... you don't have a job." The shock sent him into a depression and eventually he called helpline after a panic attack one night. This part surprised me: “I never felt home at NZME,” he says - I thought he was enjoying it there? Good to see he’s got something else though. ---
