I take it you’re not in an area served by Brian FM then?
Brian FM is in my area. However, I do not like the music that is played on the station.

Surely they’ve convinced Jason Gunn to return to More?
Gary staying with MW (Today FM) “to do political stuff, interviews, panel discussions on politics, podcasts, my own show at some point during the week in which I’ll have my own sort of oddball view of radio and be able to do that”

Wow. I can remember when he joined Simon in 2003, doing it with Phil Gifford for six months or so in a transitional period. One of the great successful handovers in history - and that was when the show was only in Christchurch (and maybe Nelson/Dunedin).
Not sure about Jason Gunn - @nztv, seems quite content outside of radio. But who knows!

That’s because they still don’t have GfK data for Today FM yet. The first survey results for Today FM come out this Thursday!

Hasn’t there already been surveys with Today in it? Albeit with some Magic Talk numbers still being included (as last numbers out). Or is that was you mean?
Yeah the last survey re Today FM they said…
MediaWorks Director of News & Talk Dallas Gurney says, “We won’t have a complete national
picture for Today FM until early next year when we will be decoupled from Magic Talk. For the
company, Today FM is a long-term project, so our total focus is continuing to deliver awesome
journalism and talk radio every day.”
So they are probably still not going to mention numbers until next year… unless they’ve had a sudden increase in listeners

On the same page with you now
Jayden from The Edge has just announced he is leaving as well. Something must be going on. That makes Jayden, Brook, and Gary (Although moving within mediaworks) that announced they’re leaving today
It’s the end of the year. Natural time to change jobs and also when a lot of contracts end.

I do agree with you but Jordan from Mai also commented today that after his contract has finished he will say the actual reason he left
interesting!
2022 has been a great year. To me, happy… but sad. MediaWorks is losing, or has lost, a number of its personalities, including (in alphabetical order):

- Graeme Hill (Today FM)
- Jayden King (The Edge)
- Mark Leishman (Magic)
- Ali Leonard (The Breeze)
- Murray Lindsay (Magic)
- Jordan River (Mai FM)
- Brook Ruscoe (Mai FM)
- Danny Watson (Today FM)
- Sue White (Magic)
