Letâs hope this time if it rates bad or worse mediaworks will relaunch with a new music format
& not react in another 14 years with dragging radio live on.
Magic Talk Weekend Life on now⌠I thought it was going to be music simulcast? If itâs just for this weekend, why didnât they wait and do the changeover on Monday?
More to not scare listeners away by being music right away, easier to change on a weekend and have bedding in times for ids and changes to Ad Timings

Itâs probably just me but the branding sounds a little weird when you actually hear it⌠Magic News, Magic Talk, Magic Network just doesnât sound serious or newsy to me. I suppose itâs just a case of getting used to it.
And how about the Kiwi accent on that news reader? âNews Hibâ 
I wonder what their first song will be when they do finally play some music?
America - You can do magic?
Probably more likely to be DD Smash.
On another noteâŚ
Max Cryer is sounding good for his ageâŚ

Itâs refreshing to listen to Magic Talk - well spoken people with âneutralâ sounding voices, who speak the Queenâs English.
Same obviously for RNZN.
So different to the ABC where you hear so many bogan voices⌠take Paul Kennedy⌠that ocker drawl of his makes him sound like heâs just been herding cattle.

If Peter has a chance now is the time with a new morning show on ZB following Leightonâs departure.
I heard Tracy reading the news today on The Sound so she is still heard - just not in an announcer role.
Heard her on The Sound up until last week. She was also filling in on The Rock over summer and she was on The Rock yesterday as well.
my wife listens to the breeze and i
think we heard her on that station also
peter williams about to kick off On magic

Tracey is an excellent news reader but I hope they have something bigger in mind for her. She is totally wasted doing only that. Hereâs a random thought, perhaps she could eventually replace Amanda on The AM Show. I thought she had more banter with Mark & Duncan during the 3 minute music segments than most of the hosts they had trying out for Gilliesâ jobâŚ
I believe More FM drive is now Auckland based. Jay Jay Feeney seems to be back in Auckland full time and their producer has relocated to Auckland also. Jason Gunn remains in Christchurch.
