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.
Would be lovely to sneak in a bit of Jase in there 
This guy?
So, let me get this straight - from reading that article, it appears he basically worked in a call centre for a taxi company for 20 years, yet (somehow) that gives him a whole heap of life experience to host a talkback show? He wouldn’t have been on-air on Today for barely six months before it closed down, yet he then gets a plum job afterwards on ZB???
Hell, I’ve got far more radio experience than him (and some call centre experience too, while we’re at it), and even I wouldn’t say I could do a talkback show! I agree with you @nztv - they should have given the role to someone with a decent amount of experience (ie, Miles Davis), not a call-centre operator who was on-air for not even six months.
Having said that I’ve never listened to the guy - is he actually any good?
How long do you think it’ll last from now?
Too hard to say. Maybe another year?
I think he works for another station in Australia now.
Still works for KIIS in Melbourne.
So I guess that’s on again… I haven’t listened to The Rock for years, has the 2000 countdown evolved much in the last 15 years, do the usual customers end up at the pointy end?

“ZM Curated by Dan Aux” live station added to iHeart.
Ive listened to about 20 minutes and its pretty good. ZM should add more of his remixes into their playlist like Hit does with DJ Konsky
Jase and PJ are back on ZM (today only)
Throwback Thursday @jase_hawkins & @pjdeejay are on ZM rn

Veteran radio personality and voiceover artist Bob Gentil rejoined the Magic team recently - this time on weekends (10am to 2pm).
At the same time, Magic’s programme line-up has just been updated.
REX (Rural Exchange) and REX Today, absent from Magic’s line-up, are being broadcast on Magic at the following times:
He also pops up on weekends on the sound as does mark smith.
Exclusive to an extent given that NZME’s ACC is doing digital commentary.
Bold too to sign a four year deal given the amount of money they’re losing.
Exclusive actual serious listenable commentary.
Will ian smith be part of the team
Might be worth a listen if he is
