@Michael_Eccles When a popular radio personality leaves, a promotional image may be replaced by just a plain logo (e.g. More FM) or the name of a radio show (e.g. “The Breakfast Club”).
In the style of Edna Krabappel (voiced by the late Marcia Wallace) from The Simpsons:
Logos and text only. Ha!
Imagine if he was to take Rob and Jeanette with him for that slot . But probably not the best fit. Then again I said that about Simon Barnett …
MW in need of 3 content directors now for More, Breeze and imo The Edge
I actually reckon Robert Rakete could go alright there, but I doubt it’ll happen.
My guess is Andrew Dickens will take charge Mo-Fr.
I don’t think it was acceptable back then either. Jason is very talented and I was quite sad when he left. I was happy when he turned up on ZM Saturday mornings, but I feel his talent was a bit wasted there as he was capable of better. I’m glad he found a new outlet in Coast though 
For the breakfast show on Gold? He does that now, eh?
No, on ZB afternoons.
no official statement or press release but it’s listed on more fm show page…
sarah and flynny
Reminds me of when Jason Mack (I think it was?) left More FM in a hurry not that long ago, which I heard was under a bit of a cloud.
Is Sarah Gandy the permanent replacement, she could filling the role until the end of the year? She has been used as a fill in at The Edge in recent years.
Completely different circumstances with that one, I don’t even know how you could make that comparison.
Yeah, has it been confirmed that Sarah is the permanent replacement for Jay Jay? My understanding was she was only filling in. But she would make a good permanent host.
Yeah, as clarified to ZB afternoons, where he currently does Mondays anyway.
Completely different circumstances with that one, I don’t even know how you could make that comparison.
Sorry, you’re right - I guess the comparison I was trying to make was that in both instances they had anything about them taken down in a hell of a hurry.
I remember when Jason left The Edge back in 2004 (as above), I used to be on their mailing list and for at least a few months they would send it out on a letterhead still featuring his pic at the top.
It wasn’t until a few months after he had left that they finally updated the website saying something like “after 6 years, we’ve been told that Jason won’t be returning to The Edge” with their e-mail address to pass on any messages to him. I imagine they didn’t do anything of the sort, and I actually e-mailed them asking if he had left due to a dispute (which I knew was true, I just wanted to see what they would say) and got a reply along the lines of “I hope not!”.
I like andrew on gold if he did get moved to zb…sure there is a ready made replacement on gold in grant keremia
Jay Jay on her last day made it sound like Sarah was permanent… but maybe it’s just till the end of the year when the next big reshuffle happens lol
Yes possibly, Grant Kereama is quite good, if he takes over that show maybe he could get Polly to join him there again, just like the old days! ZM to The Hits to More FM to Gold.
Mai FM Home Run will be without a producer. Their producer Tiley has been made redundant, last show on Friday
After nearly seven years at RNZ, I'm hanging up my headphones for the last time.

I feel incredibly fortunate to have had such wonderful colleagues over the years and I'm genuinely really sad to be leaving.
However, it's time now to finally go on my OE!
See you soon Aotearoa ❤️ pic.twitter.com/em3y7XD5Q7

Show sounds much more fresh with Gandy
Lovely piece online re lorna from coast fm days and the new love of her life with all her health issue of late this is a nice Outlook
Interesting interview with Brad formerly of The Hits, now back at Mediaworks:
This part surprised me: “I never felt home at NZME,” he says - I thought he was enjoying it there? Good to see he’s got something else though.
He’s a good guy, Brad. But Matty and PJ are just so much better than his show ever was. Glad to hear he’s doing better though!
