Yes, I belive that they will turn into to a Boomer Channel X. They already automate everything from 8pm till midnight, 6pm till 5am on Saturdays, and Sundays 7 to midnight.
And, same with The Sound I think

@millsy There already is a Channel X and that means thereāll be brand extensions!
If that happens, RIP magic. Itās already been going downhill for years though.
What do you think they should do to stop the downhill slide? I thought it should revert back to how it was when it started in 2015. Also it should be on AM as well as FM again.

What do you think of the new Gary&Mark Breakfast show?
Despite the loss of old familiars like Mark Leishman, Magic isnāt going anywhere.

They always seem up beat and like they genuinely enjoy the playlist
I know its probably all pre recorded anyway like most of the others

Just putting more 50s on their regular playlist, and an evening announcer.

I think magic did try playing the 50s ages ago but maybe the playlist was limited so they stick to 70s and 60s
To appeal to a boomer audience
As for announcers i think they did away with a night show due to cost cutting across mw
Last year as a whole

Your comments are being formatted weird again Rod.
I did hear that Magic dropped the 50s stuff as (and this will sound terrible) the audience for that type of music is slowly dying off, whereas thereās still quite a lot for the 60s and 70s stuff.
Also saw this today - I thought her and Brad were leaving as part of a shakeup of the shows? This implies she chose to resign herself to look after her kids instead:
If what Iāve heard is right - they were planning to discontinue the current drive show and look to utilise Laura on a new drive show but that didnāt work once she resigned.

Sadly, youāre probably right
When coast first started it focused on a 1950s playlist then morphed into a 70s station with 80s thrown in magic tried to plug the 50s but following a similar trend to coast
