It’s great to see Jacqui has these new opportunities on radio since leaving Seven Melbourne.

3AW analogue signal is down, Neil just announced they are working to bring it back online . Not sure how long it’s been down for, but still on air via Digital and streaming.

Didn’t Eddie say (when he signed up for the guest role) that he and Neil would have the occasional disagreements on air?

They’ll be loving the attention/clickbait and will probably double Eddie’s involvement in the show now 😛

According to the Nine Radio Syndication website:

- Tony Pilkington is filling in 4BC Afternoons for two weeks from Monday while Sofie Formica takes a break.
- Bill Woods is filling in for Chris Smith on both 2GB Weekends and also the nightly Wide World of Sports show (2 weeks straight).
- Clinton Maynard will fill in for John Stanley on 2GB/4BC Nights for two weeks.
- Luke Grant will fill in for Jim Wilson on 2GB Drive for two weeks. Interestingly it also says he will take over the Money News slot for those two weeks as well. Not sure if it’s an extension of the Drive show or if he will follow the Money News format.
- Mark Levy is in for Ray Hadley for two weeks.

Alice Coster of Page 13 of the Herald Sun has spoken to John Burns, former 3AW Breakfast co-host, who says that Russel Howcroft’s time is up, with the writing on the wall he will be replaced when his contract expires. He says that Mark Allen will be the heir apparent.

As long as the breakfast program keeps bringing in massive ratings, I can’t see them risking a host change, because of a potential loss in ratings and dealing with negative press. John Burns should stay out of it - he’s just bitter he got replaced. Personally I think Ross and Russ are great on-air together and work well, but I really enjoyed the program too when Mark filled in.

I get the feeling Ross Stevenson does a lot of the heavy lifting on that show and Russ is just along for the ride. Could be wrong on that but it doesn’t sound like the team effort it did when Burns and Kate Stevenson were there.

I’m surprised Nine hasn’t tried to steer the show in a newsier direction and teamed Ross up with someone who is capable of handling meatier topics. Can’t see them persisting with the style of show they do now without Ross.

Would argue Ross did the heavy lifting too when he was with Burns. The difference is now Ross and Russ just feels and sounds like any other ‘regular’ breakfast duo whereas Ross and John had a unique dynamic not just between them but with the wider team (eg; Kate, Mikkayla, Damian Tardio, etc) as well.

There is only one Pilko.

4BC live and local with Adelaide talent.

Plenty of Nine TV talent who would do well to have a two week trial.
