Nine Radio (Talk)

Yeah 2ue is the poor cousin of GB, it’s frustrating the newish owners are just using the same strategy. It is just like a dab channel at the moment.

What happened to that older woman from Melbourne who did that Physic/Stars type nonsense?

Hopefully no one remembers. I went to the Mind Body & Spirit Festival at Darling Harbour many many years ago. I was extremely dubious about the whole thing but had my palm read just to see what the woman said. After telling me some vague stuff, she then told me my mother wanted me to give her a telephone call. When I said my mother had died about 20 years earlier the woman quickly said my mother wanted to talk to me from the other side. I remember little else about it as it was a farce, as was the Polaroid I had taken of my aura.

Those people are charlatans. 2GB and 2UE both had a long line of clairvoyants over the years, with Steve Murphy who was on 2GB being the absolute worst and unintentionally hysterically funny. Murphy would always feel something in his loins when he was getting some sort of message.

Yeah, what happened to Sharina? 2NM took her show for a long time. Did she forsee her own demise? :wink:

I believe Sharina’s association with 2UE/Talking Lifestyle 954AM Sydney (and other stations which carried her show) ended around Easter 2018, just prior to the launch of Macquarie Sports Radio.

As for what she’s been up to since, your guess is as good as mine!

Well @SydneyCityTV, Sharina was on 2GB on Saturday night. From her Facebook page:

First time on 2GB?

I noticed the former 2GB psychic Steve Murphy has popped up on Chris Smith’s weekend show. They should get them both on for a show. :slight_smile:

Might get confusing if Murphy says your lucky colour this week is blue but Sharina says it is orange.

I wonder if Saturday Night Live will air on 3aw . It says across the nation

I believe so.

Simon Owens’s will host from 10pm-12am.

And Julian King?

It’s like a gathering of ex-2UE, Talking Lifestyle and MSR announcers all on one show.

Too much is happening on GB/9Radio talk stations. I really wish they’d shift some of this to their music stations.

Actually I was thinking of another woman who was on 2GB earlier in the year, I forget her name but I know the Show came from 3AW. Apparently she was once on 3AW a long time ago.

Dr Feelgood - Sally Cockburn?

Agreed.

Talk is part of the 954AM DNA, so there probably should be even just a light element of it on 2UE.

Even 4BH and Magic have had some more talk in their brekkie shows over the years.

Do you mean inane chatter? :crazy_face:

John Stanley was forced to do ‘light talk’ on Talking Lifestyle. The breakfast show then really was a show about nothing. It was the low point of his long radio career, and I hope no one on Sydney radio has to again be subjected to what Stanley and Tim Webster were during that time.
