Unless Nine try and Newshub it, an audio simulcast of TV news just makes for bad listening, okay filler on community radio (and horrible filler for the few commercial stations that take TV news), but in its current form isn’t exactly good commercial radio content - making lots of references to the vision.
You’d need to rework Nine’s entire operation and reporting scripting to make Nine News on TV be a good simulcast for radio.
Probably not that hard. 6PR appears to be largely forgotten about. Also, as a permanent presenter of a show he’d have a proper contract that would make him harder to get rid of straight away.
Does Scott Ellis still have his weekly Monday 2pm television segment?
Could this be why Steve Price left with his Project commitments?
Yes, that was one of the reasons he left 2GB.
Price, who has lost audience share since taking over the show from Chris Smith earlier this year, was reportedly offered an unspecified role at Channel 9 but turned it down as it would require him to quit The Project on TEN.
Several members of Nine’s NRL commentary team and the AFL Sunday Footy Show are currently signed to other radio stations like Triple M, SEN and Crocmedia. If Nine insists on exclusivity, can it force those people to break their contracts and join 2GB and 3AW instead? Conversely, can Nine do a purge of 3AW AFL commentary team of people who are signed to Seven (Leigh Matthews, Matthew Richardson, Cameron Ling, Tim Lane)?
And maybe have Fatty on MSR breakfast?
Oh give me a break Jane Bunn. You were part of a paid commercial spot. You were never part of 3AW as a staff member or freelancer.
There are a few weeping people on Twit after this little confected outrage. Don’t worry. Seven News will probably pay for her to turn up somewhere else.
And any attempt to do so down the track would probably cause listener backlash
I don’t see what’s wrong with what she said - there’s nothing about it which is factually incorrect
The implication is that 3AW fired her. Not that the Seven News advertising was terminated.
That doesn’t change the fact they don’t require Bunn’s services anymore
Peter Hitcherner also did a weekly spot on Nightline with Simon and Phil if I remember correctly
Also I dont know what this means for this years Royal Childrens Hospital Good Friday Appeal with 3aw, Herald Sun and 7 being the media partners
Potentially nothing, it’s not uncommon for different or competing media companies to sponsor the same event / fundraisers etc.
Poor Graham Ross might be next… Unless Better Homes switches to Nine.
And what does this mean for Alan’s appearances on Sunrise? How much power does Malone have with Jones’ movements? Come on 9Radio… you do one, you do all.
What’s so special about doing The Project?!?
… I love it how Price associates himself as ‘connecting with the younger generation’ because of his Project appearances (he said this when wanting to skew younger with his new Afternoons program) …
Does Price not realise The Project team takes the piss out of him because he is older?
Glad that the truth about Jane Bunn’s “termination” at 3AW has been revealed by station manager Stephen Beers in an article in The Age:
“Jane’s spot was a commercial agreement with Seven,” he said. “Seven have stopped paying, so the spot has ended. It was the same as a cross to the Seven newsroom we used to do in Drive. The stopped spending and the cross stopped. We didn’t sack Jane, Seven stopped spending.”
Or just wife Sandra and daughter Linda do the show?
Well there you go. Seven didn’t like Jane Bunn being involved with “Nine News” on radio.
Maybe Seven and the RCH should get KIIS FM to be the radio partner (KIIS FM used to be Mix FM which used to be TTFM which used to be 3TT which used to be 3DB who was the radio partner for the RCH Appeal for many years).
