I really used to love Mix when it launched in 2014. The music was incredibly varied across the 80’s & 90’s and not too much repetition. Eventually the playlist started becoming as narrow as any other station and then before Christmas last year they added 70’s music. This also included a shift into a more classic rock format obviously to rival the sound.

Intriguing to see what format it is they go with? Down the Lifestyle route like Talking Lifestyle in Australia?
Seems lifestyle is the likely option especially since Wendyl Nielsons introduction.
I can imagine it now, Radio Live Drive with Annabelle White!
Perhaps JayJay Feeney fits into this too, somehow?
There was an article that said she would be competing against her former husband which would indicate she is staying on the breakfast shift. But anythings possible.
My money is on Lisa Owen. She is a great fit for RadioLIVE.
I read that too… I’m thinking it will be Jay-Jay & Mike Puru on The Breeze Breakfast.
The current hosts Jeanette Thomas & Robert Rakete would be a good fit for a reinvented Radio Live - Jeanette hosted TVNZ’s lifestyle show Good Morning (Robert too occasionally).
As for Ali Mau it wouldn’t surprise me if TVNZ gives her the Fair Go gig again if Pippa Wetzell moves to Seven Sharp or Breakfast.

I reckon Ali would be great back on Breakfast.

Definitely, loved Ali on breakfast. I always thought Ali & Paul was the better pairing to be honest so I liked it when Pippa was either away or on maternity leave.

I always preferred Ali & Paul on Breakfast too.
Another thought - maybe JJ will go to Radio Live as the announcement on where she is headed is not until Feb 15. Most of the shows return from the summer break on 15 Jan, 22nd at the latest.
With the exception of RL, where it seems the whole station is getting a shake up, would they really make major changes to a show at the start of the year, a month in ?
Stuff article above says Ali Mau leaves Live in Feb – around the time of a relaunch perhaps ?
Newshub has said Ali Mau will continue as a regular panelist on The Project. Perhaps Ali is moving to Stuff Circuit?

Bree Tomasel from Bree & Gawndy Sea FM CC and Nova Bris originally begins on NZ radio soon. Wonderful news for her, she’s a great radio talent.

Yes, she’ll be a ripper for that. Worth a listen for Aus east coast lunchtime.
The past three years have seen a lot more swapping between between both sides of the ditch. For quite some time, there wasn’t any movement between with only a few exceptions.
