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?

Nothing’s changed… always the same top 10.
Usually metallica up there
“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
Play anywhere you are on the iHeartRadio app!

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
