Think you’re right. I do reckon The Breakfast Club will get a shake up eventually.
225,300 vs Breakfast Club’s 299,700 is not a massive gap anymore.
And in some of the younger demos The Hits is pretty close.
10-24 7.5 The Hits vs 8.7 More
18-39 6.0 The Hits vs 6.4 More
25-44 6.4 The Hits vs 7.5 More
I think gold do need to market themselves a bit more
They do play some good stuff
But hardly seem to rate a mention
True, as a ‘powerhouse’ it is a shame the station is reduced to a local breakfast show and nothing else.
Yes, looking at his LinkedIn he does have a radio background as a show producer in the UK.
Definitely making some inroads aren’t they, seems J&B are paying off. The feedback I hear from people I know who listen to the Breakfast club is that Paul Ego has been a good addition, rather Adam and Lana they could give or take. The highlights put out from that show indicate plenty of content comes from discussion around the latter two’s parenting, I guess that target demo enjoys that or is it a bit too much?
Good playlist, but hard to market with limited full power FM frequencies and the remainder of their markets on AM with breakaway sport & rural programming.
Article on stuff yesterday re dominic harvey and the duncan garner podcast that was removed and no one wants to discuss it further
Here is why.
An episode of Duncan Garner’s Editor in Chief podcast interviewing former Edge host Dom Harvey has been removed. Garner told listeners it was an “editorial decision that brought it down”. It’s understood some at Mediaworks were unhappy with Harvey being featured.

I did see thar when 1st published but stuff bought it up again yesterday as if to suggest there is more to the story
Just odd
he’s obviously good clickbait
Mediaworks are migrating all their radio brands to a new playout platform (from Nexgen to Zetta). And because NZ media … the job is “to lead the programming of our ChannelX station while running a smooth transition process migrating all our brands to a new playout platform”
Trying to catch up to NZME. I believe some of the NZME markets have already switched over to Zetta.
I hope that next on the catch up to NZME list is in the podcast space.
Easiest job in the world!
The Rock seems to have moved the nights show to playlist only calling it “The take over… the playlist is all yours till midnight”
and Rock Nights host Caleb moved to do an “all nighter” on The Rock 12-5:30am.
Most of the mw stations dont seem to have an annoumcer on in the evenings anymore
Guess mist people hsve turned off the radio anyway
Hmm, not sure that’s quite right. The Edge, Mai, George, More, Breeze, even Humm FM still have a night announcer. Add to that The Rock as seems they do have a night announcer now… Jack Honeybone who is/ was the ACD
I wish Peter McIlwaine (who is currently at RNZ National) would become Magic’s night host…
Speaking of National Radio’s overnight host - must say I was quite surprised to tune in early on Friday morning and hear Angie Skerrett (sp?). I remember her from the IRN days - I fancy she was also a host on KCC FM in Northland at the turn of the century as well?
She was also at More FM for a long time as breakfast newsreader, after Hilary Barry left. Most recently she was one of the overnight hosts on Today FM.
Two minds about this, they must be pretty sure of their subscriber projections. This isn’t like the Herald, ZB has always been free to access and it doesn’t really offer investigative news coverage as that is the Herald’s domain. It seems all they are offering is more written opinion and the same opinion at that. How many will pay for that when they can tune in across most of the day to hear it? Would be happy to have some of the presenters put behind a paywall though 
I can only think the focus groups for NZ Herald Premium said they didn’t want the reckons of ZB hosts…?
