Just recently, Mark Perry replaced John Sweetman as the corporate voice of the Magic radio network.

Are you sure? the magic Talk voice sounds much younger…

Edit, oh i see, Magic Music has 3 corporate voices. John Sweetman at times as he hasn’t been completely wiped from the system, Mark Perry and the younger Magic Talk voice. What a cluster! lol

Magic’s imaging is all over the show. Sounds terrible.

@nztv @theGradyConnell Will somebody recognise the younger Magic Talk voice please? I think it looks like a mystery to me.

he posted on his facebook page perryscopeproductions he is the new voice of magic imaging

i have been watching the tvnz on demand show “talkback” is he trying to look like an angry Mike hosking

@OnAir Although SENZ’s weekday programming had been confirmed, the rest of the week (aside from Saturdays where racing is featured) is yet to be announced.

How long do you give SENZ? Six months?

Tell us more…

On current form, yep.

This tells part of the story: https://twitter.com/tmurphynz/status/1411553652674764801?s=21

But my understanding is other staff members have also departed pre-launch. I don’t have a number but I believe it to be more than 1.
