Hopefully not Pearsall. He was a nutter.
Why not give someone fresh ago?
What about Shane McInnis? Heās not calling football at the moment. Could be good.
Donna Domaio from the newsroom would be good. Or Scorcher from the breakfast show?
I have to admit that I was surprised that Tony Moclair was offered his gig back as Michael McLaren is extremely popular in Sydney and Brisbane but having said that it probably makes sense to have a local on weekends as well. But agree NOT Pearsall. I was a listener from time to time but got sick of listeners sending cheerios to one another and prayers and there was that nauseating woman (Helen) from Nhil.
Mediaweek reports Tony Moclair had to broadcast from his home this morning after undergoing testing for coronavirus. Moclair was this week contacted by health officials as he had attended a venue at which it was later discovered that someone had COVID-19.
Probably why we could see the good doctor but not Moclair. Only listened for a short time.
Chris Smith filled in for Alan Jones this morning, saying that Alan āfelt poorlyā. Make of that what you will.
3AW news bulletins have dropped the headlines. Itās straight to the content after the weather, time and short greeting.
Andrew McLaren is filling in for Denis Walter on 3AW tonight (4/5).
So back to the old format.
It was pretty unnecessary for it to be introduced in the first place.
Neil Mitchell apologised to his neighbours when beginning his show this morning as a generator was powering his equipment.
Neil has mentioned in the past that he lived in apartment, wonder if thatās still the case?
His power was out?
I loved the headlines at the start of the bulletin.
Also donāt like them saying āthatās the latest news and sportā at the end? Why not just This is 9NEWS?
No Neil owns a house. Always has as far as I know
Apartment you may be thinking of Derryn Hinch
Neil used to own a home in Malvern East, which was being used for the filming of Five Bedrooms season 2.
In other news, Mark Allen (who co-hosts The Twilight Zone with David Schwarz on 3AW on Saturdays), had been given the all clear for the second time, after scans revealed the latest tumour in his good lung, which was discovered in October last year, had now disappeared.
Yeah but I donāt believe that he lives in an apartment. I thought the house used in Five Bedrooms was his old house from a number of years ago? He now lives in another house and has for a while I believe.
āDownsizedā to a townhouse last year.
That explains it! I couldnāt see him living in an apartment haha
Thanks all and thanks @webguy, thatās the article I read mention of this last year.
Didnāt see this coming:
According to The Daily Telegraph, Ben Fordham will replace him only for 2GB listeners. This is because:
Includes audio of Alan Jonesā announcement and tributes from his boss Tom Malone, Nine chairman Peter Costello and CEO Hugh Marks.
