I think Graeme Hill would be too quirky for afternoons.
Not surprised Mark has gone. Always an odd fit.
Maybe the deliberate role of second fiddle wasn’t what it was cracked up to be for him. The show is built around Tova so probably won’t make a large difference with his exit.
Have to say I don’t get to listen often, but I am enjoying Mark Richardson on talkback, quite entertaining. Marc Peard also good when he chimes in with Mark and Leah. A better listen than James and Simon on ZB.
Lol, O’Brien and Richardson would skew heavily right of centre, not balance each other out…

The line ups have been the same with the international artists but usually a couple of kiwi artists have been involved as well.
I am sure the last events had ZM inspired imaging with the marketing stuff.
Yes. I believe ZM’s involvement helps offset some of the costs etc. Win win for both.
That’s how radio DJs appear in shows like this?

I know this technically isn’t radio, but am not sure where else I would put this. Anyway…
Good Lord. That’s all I have to say.

ZB nights host Marcus Lush is throwing his mayoralty bid for Invercargill later this October. He has confirmed that he will still host the night show during his bid.

if marcus lush is mayor
of invercargill would he be allowed to
do both jobs
If Marcus Lush becomes the new Mayor of Invercargill, it is unlikely that he would resume duties with Newstalk ZB as its night host and a replacement would be underway.
Marcus is intending to remain doing the ZB show if elected according to stuff.
Michael Laws managed to juggle both and in fact it is probably easier for Marcus because he hosts nights.

For those wondering where Tova has been this week.

Obviously different rules, but the Lord Mayor of Perth also hosts the breakfast show of Triple M Perth, and at one time was also presenting sport on 7 News Perth.
He is now looking to leave his radio gig however
Has shown why Rachel Smalley should have been given Breakfast
Good get, sure.
But not sure why this has been granted NZ On Air money? Interviews with the president are a dime a dozen - that money should be ringfenced to tell NZ stories.
Also, why delay it til Wednesday - when Tova is presumably back on air. Get it on ASAP. Do the show from Europe on Monday. A five day tease for an interview is too much.
