@OnAir With Dave Letele (formerly known as the Brown Buttabean) and his Buttabean Radio Show moving to a talkback format on Friday nights, according to co-host Nats Levi via Instagram, what will happen to Sunday lunchtimes on Today FM (12-2pm)?
Didnāt take long for the axe to fall.
Just tuned in. No Robett Live (usually 12-2). Marc Peard Sport now 12-6 Saturday and Sunday (was only Saturdays 2-6). Hillās Sunday (Graeme Hill 2-7 Sunday) gone too it seems.
They also said John Day is moving into a āMon-Fri jobā - reading the sports news on First Light and Tova.

Interesting. I like Marcās show but 4 hours (or shorter) seemed like the perfect shift. Expanding that to 12 over the course of the weekend is big. Is he still producing Leah and Mark too?
Robett Live was an odd show - I never quite got it. Buttabean is a good talent.
Wonder if Graeme Hill might end up on RNZ as Bryan Crumpās replacement?
Not sure on that, they didnāt say
Agree.
That would be awesome!

Dave Letele said on his programme today that his Friday night show will be 9pm-12am
Does anyone know if ZM does seperate voice breaks for Auckland now? Iāve seen that there is a station called ZM Auckland on iHeartRadio
Interesting - does anyone know what happened to The Core podcast/show on TodayFM. Last uploaded in June. Is it still broadcast?
It is still broadcast as The Coreās page, via the Today FM website, is still shown.
I donāt believe they are but NZME have recently started offering Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch streams of their stations on iheart. Definitely a good move if you are a local advertiser in those markets and Mediworks does this already for a lot of their markets.
Tuned in tonight and it sounded like the KiwiAs podcast
The podcasts are now not released all at once. Instead a bit more spread out. Currently what you donāt know aboutā¦ is in production.

Survey is always happening.
Been listening to coverage of Queen Elizabeth IIās passing on top of the hour (9am NZST) on most stations, most of them donāt really go to somber/reflecting music so they just play normal music as usual which I find it really weird despite the whole nation is in mourning.

Iād assume some of the more extremely upbeat songs would be cycled out in favor of something a bit more softer but it seems like thatās not quite the case.
To be fair, RNZās part in OLB only mentions that they canāt play punk music or anything by Queen.

This isnāt Britain. Yes - plenty of people will be sad but it doesnāt require a huge tonal change as itās not so much a surprising death.
