Mediaworks are planning to rejig Duncan Garners podcast offering, moving to a more news based format and will record live at 7am.
I would hazard a guess and say if this new format doesn’t work soon enough then they will axe it altogether, much like Polly Gillespie’s podcast.
His producer Dave had to reapply for his job (an expanded role by the look), and he chose to leave instead:
If Duncan Garner’s podcast gets the chop, Duncan himself would make the move to RNZ. What do you think?
I don’t know about that.
Neither do I.

Wha? When/where/why did that go? I remember seeing ads for it not that long ago. I would have thought she was a big talent they would be quite reluctant to let go of.
Then again I did see she had done a few shifts on The Breeze as well, so…
Nope, MW told her they couldn’t afford to pay for her podcast unless she went out and found a sponsor to keep it going. Now she’s studying to be a counsellor
Oh that’s a shame, she is quite talented too. Reason I asked is I checked her Instagram but couldn’t see any mention of her podcast ending - in fact she still links to it in the description, but it just goes to the Rova homepage.
Is it the norm in New Zealand that talent are expected to do the job of their sales reps?
More than you’d think…
Reminds me of the new BBC news titles.
Happy 50th to jj feeney from more fm afternoon/drive show
Coast fm doing all 80s across the long weekend for Easter
Definitely miss having an alternative to ZB.
Me too.
I’m doubtful but hoping MW go all in on a digital news/talk format starting with Garner’s upcoming breakfast news thing…
As much there is to dislike about Sean Plunket and The Platform , good on them for finding their niche in the market. It’s probably a format MW would like to replicate if they can find the $$.
@medianz @nztv A year has passed since Today FM, via MediaWorks, went off the airwaves and closed its doors for good.
Many talk radio fans feel a significant void in their listening experience due to the lack of an alternative to Newstalk ZB, but I can’t help but wonder what if my ideal talk radio brand, known as TalkNZ, became a reality? This possible new station would offer a fresh perspective and bring a unique voice to the airwaves.
Here’s a mock schedule:

Gosh it has been a year already…where has that time gone?
