Ah yes - this morning they pranked a junior Edge announcer by getting him on the phone with Mediaworks radio head Leon Wratt, and Meg wrapped up the prank before Leon was about to let the announcer know he was getting ‘fired’. Dom sounded disappointed lol.

Huge drop for Mai. Some unlucky book placement on this occasion?

497

What format is Mai?

498

Hip Hop and R&B music, its frequency in Auckland is also under 90.0 FM therefore if you have a Japanese import car without a band expander it is pretty much the only commercial music option you have.

Tegan Yorwarth has recently replaced Lily Taurau on the Mai Morning Crew, who’s gone on an OE. Tegan was previously the newsreader for the show. Drop-off could be partly due to that?

Hahaha yes my friend in Auckland who is I her 50s had a wee Honda Fit for a while and that was all she could get. Cracked me up though because she got so used to the music she started to enjoy it and and get familiar with beats and lyrics.
