So will we only find out who when they donât appear on air?
Theyâve been off air for a couple of weeks now.
Guessing it could be a More FM personality because the Breakfast Club website has changed.
some other website has speculated on the identity
Recommend having a listen to this if youâre interested in what Mediaworks are up to post TV3âŚ
New CEO says heâs committed to News + Talk, MW moving away from it would give NZME âunfettered commercial pricing powerâ
Looking at different options for it, âwhether a complimentary product with Magic or something new, potentially a news station.
Doesnât have to be hard left/hard right, opportunity for a new contemporary model they need to test.
Also talks about âa couple of opportunities weâve invested in but even if we were tremendously successful the results wouldnât actually turn the dial muchâ their streamer ROVA?
âdo we build platforms ourselves and try and control the data, or do we partner with someone who already has an existing platform overseasâŚâ

Thatâs because Newstalk ZB has both better hosts AND hasnât been drowned in controversy for the last couple of months.
Not because the ZB brand is nearly 100 years old?

Interesting also the comments on news, not so keen on building something new due to the costs and doesnât rule making a play for one of the independents like Newsroom or The Spinoff.

the more interesting comments regarding news are posted in the tweet below the article link
Interesting excerpt from that article:
How Magic Talk fits into that objective is yet to be determined, but MediaWorks is undertaking an extensive review to find an answer to that question.
âWe are looking into how we move forward in that segment. It will probably be something different and it might be another station. It might be two more stations. We are still looking into how we reposition that brand.â

If I were them Iâd look to a newsradio format like in the USA. Rolling news (assuming you keep AM Show).
Headlines on the 1s (:01, :11, :21, :31, :41, :51), sport, weather and traffic. You could still do live interviews but it would fall into those brackets.
