Again, I think because this surveyâs result still has Magic Talk numbers I donât think we can count Today FM yet. The next survey will be the one with solely Today FM numbers.
I did see in another post online there was something about Today FMâs likeability according to recent research but I canât remember where I saw it⌠dammit!
Ive been keeping an eye on Flava since their change to Old School format, and its good to see them chuging along quite nicely in Auckland.
10th overall 10+, but #6 breakfast I think is a good result, rating above the likes of The Edge
I double checked the numbers, and that 12.2 for Breeze is the largest share for any music station in Auckland since Mai had a 12.4 in 2002.
Watch at 56:48 Fletch, Vaughan & Megan win Best Network Team Show⌠is it just me or does Meganâs speech feel very⌠pointed.
Yes, it does. Poor Megan, shafted from a top breakfast show to The Hits. At least they werenât attending in person, how awkward would that have been for all concerned.
Trying to out-Hosking Hosking, is she? An exercise in futility, surely. I give it until the end of next year. MW are just desperate to have their own ZB but it just ainât happening.
You might notice on The Edge website from today, their website had an rebrand. Along with the other shows now have their placeholders uploaded reflecting on the new website.
It screams âThe Hitsâ. Not skewing young so much.
The Edgeâs advertisements do poke fun at Westpac. Right?
The Edge targets all people aged 18-39, including those with a youthful energy. The Hits targets 30-49 with a female skew.
Bryan Crump to leave Nights on RNZ National, to drive on RNZ Concert.
Iâm told a replacement for Susie Ferguson on Morning Report will have to be based in Auckland.
With Susie Ferguson leaving and a replacement yet to be confirmed, RNZâs Morning Report will be based between Auckland and Wellington. Corin Dann will continue to co-anchor Morning Report from RNZ headquarters in Wellington.
Moving from a talk programme to music hosting on a much lower rating station (albeit in a better slot) seems like a bit of demotionâŚ
Crump does an awesome job holding together a long and difficult slot in a chilled out manner.
And yes, RNZâs advert specifies Auckland based. As it was under Robinson / Mercep and Espiner / Ferguson. With Espiner filling all this week I assume the programme was Auckland / Wellington hybrid this week.
I think Tova + Mark Richardson could be interesting. Theyâd balance each other out politically.
Leah + Graeme Hill on afternoons. Better all round imo.
