Karyn Hay has been the subject of an independent employment investigation following a complaint from a producer about her alleged behaviour.
The original terms of reference for the inquiry focused on three areas: that Hay allegedly spoke negatively about others, including producers, presenters, and management; that she had allegedly behaved aggressively using a tone of voice that conveyed hostility; and that she had allegedly undermined colleagues in the studio environment, including maintaining unrealistic expectations.

Mediaworks advertising for Edge nights host
Brodie Kane would be a good hire.
Don’t think Brodie is The Edge vibe, especially their nighttime audience tbh. Suspect it’ll be a recent grad

Have heard her filling in for Bree on ZM …but yeah ya probably right there.
I reckon drive she’d be all good. Night show is more about breaking new music and youth focused.

Two years in, Senz has laid bare the financial challenges it is facing – with a likely loss of between $2.7 million and $3.3 million this year, and an overall big drop in profit for its Australian parent.
…
The significant investment in establishing new assets in Sydney, Queensland “and particularly New Zealand” was a key driver in the decreased Ebitda. It said the operating cost base in New Zealand was now “largely normalised”.
Senz was upbeat about its digital audience numbers last month. Its radio stations have a cumulative audience of 34,900; they are 22nd in the market nationally.
As a comparison, the number one station, Newstalk ZB, draws a cumulative audience of just under 700,000.

Surprising that Newstalk ZB have Mikey Beban (talkback listener > today fm late host) covering Jim Snedden on Overnight Talk rather than just giving Miles Davis his old gig back. Poor old Miles has to make do with filling on The Platform once in a while.
I mean they jumped at giving Piney another job after he left for that very short stint at SENZ.
