Mediaworks advertising for Edge nights host
Brodie Kane would be a good hire.
Donāt think Brodie is The Edge vibe, especially their nighttime audience tbh. Suspect itāll be a recent grad

Two years in, Senz has laid bare the financial challenges it is facing ā 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.
ā¦
The significant investment in establishing new assets in Sydney, Queensland āand particularly New Zealandā was a key driver in the decreased Ebitda. It said the operating cost base in New Zealand was now ālargely normalisedā.
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.

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 wouldnāt 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, Iāve got far more radio experience than him (and some call centre experience too, while weāre at it), and even I wouldnāt 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 Iāve never listened to the guy - is he actually any good?
How long do you think itāll last from now?
