I would think The Hits local announcers would be some of the first to go if there were cuts to radio. ---

I have noticed The Sound can play the same songs, but at least they refresh the playlist often and play a wider variety of songs than Australian stations. ---

I think they would have been better leaving Matt & Mania on drive, it’s a low key, low fuss (and a low cost) kind of show. It suited the station well. I still believe the high profile talent shows on the station haven’t proved their worth. In other Hauraki news, day announcer Angelina Grey is off to have another child so Georgia Cubbon is back on the day shift. ---

Just an update regarding Radio Hauraki (from NZ Hearld) Tracey Donaldson is taking over the 9am-2pm slot on Hauraki from Monday. Definitely a good move they have made there. Maybe Georgia will go over to Mix? ---

Yeah that’s a very good move. I was thinking earlier that Tracey would be a good co-host for Thane (or Laura McGoldrick!) ---
