Hardly seems to have the CV to know about talk, 4BC, it’s heritage, it’s audience type or realistic audience potential.
Didn’t see the job advertised- how did they pick this bloke?
Anyways, Marto (of MMM Bne Breakfast) said no to moving to 4BC Drive, wise for him, but doesn’t hold much hope on the type of talent they want if Marto fitted their bill.
He’s been building up his profile on Sky News ever since being given the flick by the good burghers of Indooroopilly, so a flick to commercial talkback would be perfectly logical. Has a background in journalism too so might be a bit more researched/measured than some, but that might be being hopeful…
Nope - do you think Marto thinks he could present a 3hr program by himself - have opinions and position - have research - Marto works in a group situation - but leading a discussion - being on point for a talk audience - nope, Marto knows he couldn’t pull that off - so why after all the years at MMM put that at risk - he wisely wouldn’t.
Clinton Maynard is perfectly capable of covering a show on his own. Highly experienced and versatile presenter. Shame Peta Credlin has to tag along too
I wonder how much longer The House of Wellness will air across the network, given the television show is on Seven? It might be reliant moreso on the sponsorship with Chemist Warehouse.
