Indeed. Good radio mind is Matt, but not sure it ended terribly well at Mediaworks.
Predictably have fallen on partisan lines. I didnât think it was that bad.
I think the initial reason was that was there the ânew CBDâ was going and a lot of businesses were heading out to Addington to rebuild post quakes (remembering also the previous building was unusable and eventually imploded so time was of the essence). It didnât quite work out that way. Am sure the city and being close to things again will be a relief for staff and clients alike!

the building nice and central
Does SENZ have, like, any summer sports rights at this point?
Not locally unless they are going super niche. They had Aussie Big Bash and this yearâs Australian Open final I think. I just canât see it lasting if Iâm honest. Making no headway in the ratings.
Would be good to see a return of Radio Pacific. That was really popular, until it was killed off in 2007 - but different times today and now compared to back then.

It wasnât - hence why it was killed off.
According to @OnAir, Radio Pacific ceased to exist as a secondary talk radio network in October 2007 and was replaced by BSport before renaming to LiveSPORT, an extension of the now-defunct RadioLIVE brand, in 2010.
MediaWorks sold LiveSPORT to the TAB and TAB Trackside Radio took over 2015, but ceased in 2020 because of Covid. And in 2021, SENZ came along and began broadcasting on the same frequencies as TAB Trackside Radio.
It was very popular for a long time, though - especially during the mid-to-late 90s. Did it just die off in the later years? Are surveys still available from the mid-2000s? Would be interesting to do a comparison.
Mediaworks looking for a Breakfast and Afternoon announcer for Magic

@nztv Looks like Mark Leishman and Murray Lindsay are announcing their respective retirements after all those years in the industry (I think), and Magic is looking for new hosts. I mean, big shoes to fill.
Definitely Paddy. Who would you want to see replace them?

@nztv Tim Roxborogh. He had worked in music radio for many years before switching to talk radio (e.g. Newstalk ZB), and would be perfect as Magicâs new breakfast host (replacing Mark Leishman).
And Jason Tikao (or JT). He currently hosts the nights show on Coast and would be perfect as Magicâs new drive host (replacing Murray Lindsay).

Very very weird. Cost cutting?
Odd to drop someone on a Tuesday.
However it was alluded to on a known instagram account last year about some of his behaviour and maybe something has been done about it.
