I’m not sure it’s the best look for them after events of the past few years at MWorks but I’m not against a second chance for the bloke.
I actually wondered if TMS might snap him up for a podcast there.

How odd. What Mediaworks sports content?

My thoughts exactly!! “Mediaworks Sports reports…” what exactly
Mai and The Edge have recently undergone significant changes in 2024.
In the photos provided (see above) MediaWorks revealed that Nickson Clark will be leaving The Edge to rejoin Mai’s flagship breakfast show, Mai Morning Crew (6-10am), with effect from next week (26 February). At the same time, Storme Hitaua will replace K’Lee as host of Mai’s daytime slot (10am-3pm).
Meanwhile, at The Edge, Steph Monks will be going on maternity leave and Sean Hill, the current host of the station’s daytime slot, will join Sharyn Casey for The Edge Afternoons (3-7pm). However, The Edge’s drive slot will now revert to a ‘two guys and a girl’ approach with the addition of comedian Chris Parker to the line-up.

I hear Angie Skerrett reading news on MW radio tonight. Haven’t heard her since Today FM was axed and I thought RNZ gave her work ?
Coincidence or are they sharing newsreaders ?

She was working on the sound over the holiday period
Didn’t realise that, thanks

Bob leaving???
@Rod_Van_Alphen Yup. Bob Gentil has worked in the radio industry for many years and, from my point of view, is announcing his retirement. As a result Magic, through MediaWorks, is looking for a replacement.
Shame he is 1 of the good guys friendly and laid back
Remember him in the early days of zm radio in the 70s and 80s

Totally agree. Great shame. Has one of the best radio voices.
Has he actually said something on air?
Pity he’s leaving, he wasn’t back for very long and I think he’s quite good.
I would be very interested in a role like that, but I don’t think I’ve got the chops for it.
Perfect role for Mel Homer I reckon… Magic Drive.
NZH media insider column says SENZ are after Scotty Stevenson for breakfast
The drums are beating strongly that radio station Senz is keen to have the highly respected Scotty Stevenson host its radio breakfast show, alongside former All Black Israel Dagg.
A sports broadcaster of Stevenson’s experience and esteem would be an astute change in strategy for Senz, which until now has relied on high-profile former sports people to headline their key shows - Dagg initially teamed up with former Black Caps star Brendon McCullum and then league legend Tony Kemp.
The TAB took ownership of Senz from Australian-based Sports Entertainment Group this month, and the new owners are focusing on a strategy to turn around its financial performance.
Stevenson already has a high-profile sports commentating role with TVNZ so it remains to be seen whether Senz will get their desired target. Senz certainly doesn’t seem to mind its broadcasters having other roles away from the radio microphone.
Would they consider putting bunting back on air
They should entice Rick Morin away from NZME.
Rick Morin currently hosts Gold’s night slot (6-11pm).
Jon dunston who does coast afternoons would be a good fit for magic
Martin devlin used to do similar when radio sport 1st launched and he seemed to know his stuff
.i know he has had a few personal things going on and has fallen off the radar but he should come back even on a weekend slot
Scotty s would be a good score
They could do a lot worse
