Explains plenty of why MRN never worry about drive in Brisbane nor Sydney for that matter.
Mini Fordo gets the bunny’s shift on GB, from the ‘high-calibre’ management that brings you MSR, the same who also overlook the glaring fact that drive, the PM version of their golden goose bfast shift and should be close to equally as lucrative for the station is their worst performing shift and has been for years prior to Fordo Jnr sitting in the chair.
Same in Brisbane where Hadley’s mate Braybrook returns survey after survey as the lowest rating shift on the station and sadly, the sole local shift is the least listened to yet no attention nor action from ‘management’.
With a dad like Ben’s, he’s of the opinion that the best fill in is a seat warmer that has the audience eagerly yearning for the usual personality to return.
Merrick would be in need of broadcasting work after finishing with SCA.
Of which most of the contribution to the Good Friday shift impressing would be due to Nat’s effort, a versatile broadcaster. Much the same way Tim Ross brought out the lustre in Merrick when they were paired at JJJ and Nova.
This is if 9 takes full control. This is a group of assets, 7 in total where only two are successful due to only four high paid staff with no development pipeline invested to continue the business model. Oh and three of the seven assets saddled with failed business models.
I’d take on more debt and acquire the better fitting SCA assets if I was at the Nine table.
Merrick’s ol mate, Tim Ross would have had Israel on instead and softened him up with questions covering some self aggrandising topics which deftly would lead Israel to painting himself into his own corner over it all. Some of his interviews on Mix by himself were well beyond his intended audience.
He might be or he might avoid it all and choose from the many other newsy topics often looked over by the rest of the GB line up who focus on such a narrow palette of topics day in, day out. Their topic rotation is akin to Jacko’s house of boredom approach to music scheduling on Nova.
I added a laughing emoticon to @littlegezzybear’s post for the audio of Friday night Merrick. Clicked into a few minutes in the middle to hear all thoughts confirmed. He still thinks he’s on FM.
