Will be an interesting show, I suspect more lively and opinionated than what it was before.

His show on Coast is voice tracked so doesn’t do it live, that will probably continue.

Bit of a shame, seemed to be one of the more motivated council members.

100% Agree!

Ended up being a short sabbatical for Callum Proctor, back on The Hits Dunedin at breakfast.

Going by the comments sounds like he went on to courier driving after leaving The Hits!

Yes, he did. Which I thought was a bit strange at the time and wondered if he left on his own terms. That must have definitely been the case. A rare thing in local radio these days!

Was definitely on his own terms, I can confirm.
Callum and P rated their socks off but he wanted a change but evidently found it’s not for him.

Hopefully they can lift the share a bit. I see the Breakfast club has a 10.6 share and Doug and P close behind on 10.4. So More FM have finally gained a bit in the market, and they have done it without actually employing any local announcers across the day. Where as the Hits in Dunedin is local 6am-3pm.

Yep. That’s a fair point. I believe in terms of revenue share NZME makes up for it but I may be wrong.

PJ is doing her show from the More FM studios in Wairarapa, where she is now living. Good for MediaWorks to have her there.

Guessing that after Kiis she’s not likely to do a big radio gig again then…

Doubt it.
It’s probably just that they had studio space in the town and NZME don’t.

Caitlin still works with ZM right?

on weekends I believe

Training to be a nurse in Christchurch but does a Saturday shift on ZM, likely voicetracked.

It’s possible.

Hope so. I’d like to see her filling in for Meg on the Edge when she’s off on maternity leave. Think she’d be good with Dom…

NZME has a building in Masterton, though it may not have a studio…?

Yeah I don’t think it does other than for client recording maybe.

@radio According to The Hits’ Wikipedia page, The Hits Wairarapa, which is owned and operated by NZME, does not have a studio and does not produce its own shows but NZME itself still has a local office on Church Street, Masterton.

More FM, which is owned and operated by MediaWorks, has a local breakfast show for the Wairarapa; it is hosted from MediaWorks’ Masterton studio by Brent Gare. As a result, PJ co-hosts the “Jase & PJ” breakfast show from the same studio as More FM Wairarapa.
