New Zealand Radio

Awful. The whole station is totally bizarre-sounding. Still don’t get why Jono and Ben are on there? - totally wrong station for their brand. The sHits more like it.

Is there anywhere in the country where Jono & Ben is performing well?

I wonder if they regret jumping ship… You’d hope they’re being paid a hell of a lot more than at Mediaworks to do breakfast on The Hits and a dog show on TV2

I quote like the sung jingles. NZME have become a fan of them as Coast got them this year as well.

Yeah you have to wonder. Especially when it was a gig on Hauraki drive that they were supposed to be doing originally.

Sounds like they got the same people who did the Nova jingle in Australia.

My problem with The Hits is that I feel there is no flow to the station. Between every song it feels like someone’s pulled the handbrake, especially when you compare it to More FM

Yeah and maybe it was just speculation but I thought they were supposed to host Taskmaster NZ…

I think @OnAir said they were going to bring in a female to the show. Wonder if that’s still the plan…

Unsure, I wonder if their female producer/panel op is filling that role.
I haven’t really listened.

The Edge have updated their branding on social media with what might be temporary for the summer season.


It looks a lot better than the regular branding IMO.

Are they sponsored by Vans because most of them are wearing Vans shoes?

Look like Converse to me

Could just be the pairs of shoes that the photography company had that day.

There are different footwear brands as worn by The Edge’s hosts.

Randell, Steph, Jayden and Sean are even wearing the same coloured Converse shoes

We clearly need to dig into this one - and start some sort of register on-air radio personalities preference in footwear. If you spot one of these people out and about this summer, take a photo of their feet and post it here, please!

According to Alan Davies radio list, 1053 New Plymouth is inactive. Can anyone confirm that it’s off air? TIA
