Mel homer has done work on magic ie sunday arvos so wouldn’t be out of place i also thought mark smith would have just slotted in as a direct replacement
It looks like sound news has changed it sounds like just a headline grab instead of a 2 or 3 minutes bulletin
I thought all that happened after Today FM closed down a year ago? Certainly I remember news on The Breeze changing to be short-and-sweet around that time.
Just tuned into the The Sound news at 2pm and I see what you mean @Rod_Van_Alphen.
It’s maybe a little more punchy than their bulletin for The Breeze, More etc.
vo: “This is Sound News Brief”. Hi I’m Geoff. Well that was embarrassing. The Black Caps beaten by 172 runs by the Aussies in the first cricket test at the Basin Reserve. Remember we didn’t pick a specialist spinner. Nathan Lyon took 10 wickets for the Aussies. One person is reported to have died following a workplace incident in Mount Wellington this morning. The death is not being treated as suspicious. WorkSafe has been notified. And heading into a new week, MetService is forecasting widespread severe weather for parts of the country as an intense trough of low pressure closes in from the west. In sport, other than the cricket the All Blacks Sevens lost 28-19 to the USA this afternoon at the world series event in LA finishing third in their group. And the Black Fern Sevens play Fiji in just on 20 minutes.
Their bulletin across other stations starts with “Good afternoon to you I’m Geoff Bryan with the latest at 2” leading with
Labour MP Peeni Henare admitting on Q+A this morning there were significant challenges in getting the Maori Health Authority to perform
Workplace incident in Mount Wellington
South Island motorists warned of delays on SH1 as power lines are replaced
Russia and Ukraine have traded drone attacks on apartment buildings in major cities
In sport, well that was embarrassing (Black Caps)
All Blacks Sevens
Black Fern Sevens
And the new NRL season, that kicks off at 3:30 this afternoon
