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!
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.
@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.
