An interesting comment from Trevor Sinclair on Facebook.
If Trevor is correct, then 2GB and 2UE are moving to North Sydney, even though it was indicated by Nine that they would be staying at Pyrmont with only the newsroom moving.
Link from @SydneyCityTV 's post on the 2CH thread.
Not surprised. Would make sense for all of the Nine businesses to be in the one spot.
Of course while 2CH have severed their final ties with what was previously the Macquarie Radio Network, their new home is only a short walk away from Nine’s if I’m not mistaken!
Yeah, you’d think that all 2GB/2UE broadcasts will come out of North Sydney even if other operations move a bit after the newsroom does.
Can’t imagine Nine spending money on rent at both Pyrmont and North Sydney (both of which being locations which likely command multi-million dollar price tags) in the long run.
3AW breakfast EP and A Moveable Feast co-host Kate Stevenson has told the Sunday Herald Sun she is leaving the station after 14 years and moving to a media role in the Victorian Government. Her last day at 3AW is this Friday (November 20).

Big loss to 3AW.
Such a shame to see Kate leave 3AW after 14 years with the station, a massive loss.
Kate radiates warmth and is an engaging presenter. Always enjoyed listening to her when she fills in on Breakfast. I agree she is a big loss. If she had ambitions to have a more prominent on air presence, I wonder if her decision to leave was the realisation Nine intends to use their radio interests to promote their television talent?
Wouldn’t be surprised if Heidi Murphy is the next to go. It baffles me that they insist on using Tony Jones as primary fill in for Mitchell when Heidi is so much better in the role. I find Jones rather cold and patronising towards callers and can’t listen to him for any length of time.
Maybe she’ll pop up elsewhere? 3MMM?
who would be Kate’s replacement ?
Probably “Scorcher” Davidson or “Rex” Mossop?
At voicetracking.
News Talk 2GB 873 has unveiled a line-up of sporting greats to co-host Wide World of Sports radio over the summer months, starting Monday, November 23.
Former Australian cricket captain Mark ‘Tubby’ Taylor will join the team each Monday night, tennis legend Todd Woodbridge will feature on Tuesdays, former ironwoman Candice Warner will appear each Wednesday, while the former long-time TV host of Wide World of Sports, Ken Sutcliffe, will continue as a special guest each Thursday night for “Kenny’s Corner”.
James Bracey, Peter Psaltis and Tim Gilbert have also been announced as fill-in hosts over summer, while regular host Mark Levy takes a short break before filling in for Ray Hadley on Mornings from mid-December.
“Wide World of Sports radio has been a popular addition to our 2GB line-up in 2020 and we’re thrilled that Mark, Todd and Candice are joining our line-up as we head into the summer of tennis and cricket,” said 2GB Content Manager, Luke Davis.
“The show gives Sydney listeners the unique opportunity to speak directly to some of the biggest names in sport and with the experience of Brace, Psalty and Tim at the helm, we’ve got a cracking summer of radio ahead.”
Airing every Monday to Thursday 6pm-7pm, WWOS is a must listen for sports fans, with the expert opinions of treasured sporting icons giving the most up-to-date and informed news about everything happening in the world of sports.
What is interesting is that oversight for the 4BC sports show between 6 - 7pm weeknights is from Sydney.
There was a mention in the past week or so of a Sydney staffer with oversight of this. Which seems strange considering 4BC has a content director and three on air talent slots of breakfast, 2 - 3pm and drive.
It seems there will be no local fill in over summer for the 4BC sport show.
Well, as long as the fill in hosts will only be on air between 6 and 7 I suppose I can put up with them…just
Tomorrow is Kate Stevenson’s the Executive Producer of 3AW Breakfast last day.
Kate is joining the Victorian Department of Transport.
“Scorcher” will be the new breakfast EP while “Rex” will be the new food reviewer.
There was a feature article on Ben Fordham inside Good Weekend magazine in SMH and The Age last Saturday.
Not sure where you read about Rex. The article says:
Taking over Stevenson’s duties as the Friday food reviewer will be Mikkayla Mossop who is a producer on the show
Yep that’s exactly what was said in the post above which is correct.
But he referenced a Rex? Unless I am missing something here?
