New Zealand Radio

Great MW have finally hired someone with experience to head news & talk.

Peter Williams gone, no surprises there. But I reckon Graeme Hill to Mornings, Leah back to Nights might have been better. Maybe eventually she’ll get a co-host ( Garner perhaps?)
Not sure what to think of Lloyd Burr for Drive, expected a journo with more… bite (Jehan Casinader, Jack Tame?) but he’s definitely a loss for Discovery – now no obvious replacement for Tova / Newshub political editor when the role comes up again.

Wonder whether MW are after RNZ listeners. Potentially a good move as they’ve lost a lot over the last few surveys. Or will it be Radio Live 2.0 ?
