I wouldn’t get too excited. It’s probably an online one.

It seems like Channel X have done away with “no ads” with 1-2 ads per block. They haven’t done the same as Brian FM, which seems to work their ads (or sponsor slots) in. Channel X just hitting play on the ads MW play on other stations.

Good to know, no doubt always part of the plan otherwise it just makes no sense for MW to create the station.

Was always part of the plan. Ads but not as they have been.

Mike West leaving 2XS/More FM Manawatu at the end of the year after 34 years doing the breakfast show.

Does this mean they’ll take the networked breakfast show as well?

Surprised to hear this. I thought Mike might have been moved to The Breeze Manawatu eventually.

Would be sad for Manawatu to lose local breakfast on More, but wouldn’t be surprised to see The Breakfast Club pushed into the market to save costs.

It would be sad, but definitely wouldn’t be surprised. Hopefully Mediaworks see the value in keeping Gareth either solo or with someone new. Manawatu is in a unique position with 2 local breakfast shows and NZ radio rules simply don’t allow that. One local breakfast show in a market per company, and that’s for the lucky markets :joy:

Must be hard for anyone trying to break into radio with network stations and only just mw and nzme providing these services
Your chances of getting a start must be limiting
Local radio was personalized and you knew your station

100% Breakfast on More is staying local in Palmy, there a plans to bring someone in with Gareth.
I too, did think that maybe Mike would move over to The Breeze at some stage but that’s not to be.
I doubt Mediaworks will be tinkering too much with the powerhouse that is 92.2 anytime soon.

A bit of a rebrand with the sound calling itself a classic rock station as opposed to
Just the sound

“I doubt Mediaworks will be tinkering too much with the powerhouse that is 92.2 anytime soon.”
That’s what I thought about Fifeshire and Sounds FM as well - and look at them now.

“Comedian Nick Rado the new More FM Rodney Breakfast host.”
Has he done any radio stuff before? From my experience comedians don’t always “map over” into being good radio hosts.

I would have just assumed more fm rodney would have just got the network breakfast show
Maybe testing nick in a smaller market with a view to see how he goes long term
