Trackside radio may go off air temporarily if they need it to but unlike Radio Sport which provided content to sell around advertising Trackside radio is primarily there as a service for the TAB to broadcast race meets for people to make bets with the TAB.

I would think The Hits local announcers would be some of the first to go if there were cuts to radio.
I have noticed The Sound can play the same songs, but at least they refresh the playlist often and play a wider variety of songs than Australian stations.

April Fools prank?
But I did wonder if Thane Kirby would replace Jono, Ben, Matt & Manaia

I think they would have been better leaving Matt & Mania on drive, itās a low key, low fuss (and a low cost) kind of show. It suited the station well. I still believe the high profile talent shows on the station havenāt proved their worth.
In other Hauraki news, day announcer Angelina Grey is off to have another child so Georgia Cubbon is back on the day shift.

Thanks great to see Jono & Ben have a starting date for the hits breakfast
Just an update regarding Radio Hauraki (from NZ Hearld) Tracey Donaldson is taking over the 9am-2pm slot on Hauraki from Monday. Definitely a good move they have made there. Maybe Georgia will go over to Mix?

Yeah thatās a very good move. I was thinking earlier that Tracey would be a good co-host for Thane (or Laura McGoldrick!)

sounds normal

Radio will always survive.
There is no other media like it for reaching the masses reliably, easily, and concisely.
