Agree, a complete waste of time, a desperate bid to keep/gain listeners. The ratings will reveal later in the month.

Maybe Jane Holmes should do her TV Segment on Afternoons with Dee Dee instead
I actually think Neil genuinely respects Jane. She’s been an important part of his show for so many years and he even refused to accept her resignation after her drink driving misdemeanour.
I wouldn’t look too far in to what people have observed of Neil’s body language on a webcam for a radio/audio only production.
Also Neil’s hand signals are an institution! There is a very funny clip with Hamish and Andy in the studio trying to emulate Neil’s hand signals.

2GB it seems the final 30s ad after the news has been moved back to its old position before the weather. Weather now at xx:06:30 straight into programme.

Same at 3AW.

Understandable why they did it, however it’s disappointing as those single spots can be highly loaded and therefore reducing numbers of commercials in program breaks.
Nine had it as low as five 30 second commercials per ad breaks, topped up with traffic and promos to give orogram teams enough space.

Likely has been done so they can charge more of a premium with it being bookended by news on either side (with weather being the latter side) Post news can’t have as much of a premium attached.

and that would have been why it was like that in the first place.

On 2GB they have a habit of stacking the ad breaks together. There should be at least 10 minutes between them.
There seems to be a big issue with timing on 3AW today. That’s the 5th time going to the news after the jingle there is about 10 secs of dead air before the ad plays.
Must be a remote broadcasting issue.
