While he stills appears with blonde hair on 2GB’s site, Ben Fordham has been given a grey makeover in advertisements on the side of Sydney buses. Normally media companies try to make their talent look younger nor older. Maybe trying to make him blend in with the target audience? ---

Not a great survey for 2GB. Dropping to #2 for the first time since 2003. Shocked to see nights drop by 6.9. I’m sure the next survey will see a return to #1. ---

Well that is true but the problem I find with Ben Fordham is that he tends to shout at his audience, not enough time calls, too many irritating commercials, too many goody good stories, too many traffic crosses and nonsensical competitions such as 2GB For Me.
