4BC began extended local programming throughout the Saturday of the flooding. Unsure if started early Saturday, however at least from 6am, flood/storm coverage began. Also unsure if 8am advertorial was dropped.
Spencer had planned to have the weekend off, Rob McKnight in for him extended by an hour to 2pm.
2 - 5pm Jason Dasey (ex BBC and ABC, has filled in before over Christmas, volunteers at @ethirkill45âs 101 FM Logan)
5 - 9pm Scott Emerson (weekday drive)
9 - 11pm Peter Fegan (9 TV journo, has filled in before, his dad, âBlueyâ worked in radio)
Local news until 7 or 8pm bulletin.
Luke Grant back early from time off he mentioned to cover the floods.
At least hourly overnight updates during the national program with Steve Murphy in Brisbane. He mentioned he lives in Admiralty Towers in the CBD with his wife.
Local programming continued on a similar schedule Sunday 27 February.
Local programming on Monday 28 February began at 4:30am each weekday.
Sports Today dropped Monday night, returned Tuesday, local evening shifts to 11pm weeknights.
First weekend of March saw local shifts extended to 6pm. Nine TV journo Dan Nolan for example covered the final flood shift on the Sunday through to 6pm.

Anyone aware if 3AW are planning to do commentary of Sundayâs F1 race?
I believe they used to do this in the past but that was often before football season started (or opening round).

Potential controversial opinion, but I really feel Elise Elliot should replace DeeDee in afternoons. The show had a whole different vibe this week and it was great. There was less negativity and editorial and I feel thatâs what is needed on the afternoon.
Nothing against DeeDee but Iâve really enjoyed Elise hosting this week.
A few calls got through criticizing DeeDees editorials this week as well so I mustnât be the only one.

Very interesting. Those screening calls and producing must feel the same unless the caller added it as a throwaway line.
AW have a lot of producers out with covid at the moment so thereâs been some juniors/newbies working across all programs. Couldâve been an oversight, or theyâve just added it in as a throwaway line.

Or itâs been a case where they have had people lie about what they want to talk about⌠which isnât uncommon

As far as the 8am Technology Show is concerned I hope it is his last. Presume the regular co-host clown will be back next Saturday.
Nice to see AW utilising Grubby whilst the footy is on. He will have worked seven days straight, hosting Nights from Monday to Thursday, joining Elise Elliott for Friday Lunch on Afternoons on Friday, and Weekend Breakfast this weekend.
Yes, Darren James should be back next weekend. Is there anyone from 3AW you like hosting the technology show?

Itâs about the only time that Melbourne based 3AW content airs on 2GB all week. They even use the 2GB studio number (131 873) for talkback yet it still upsets the precious Sydney 2GB listeners like @Rossco.

I thought the Money Show comes out of 3AW but I could be wrong. Charlie Brown (Technology Show) is Sydney based so I can;t understand why it needs a Melbourne based co-host.

I was surprised to hear Shane and Jimmy this morning, that makes sense now.
Also, Tony Moclair hosted the Overnights program on 3AW this morning despite Nine Radio Syndication website saying heâll be on leave this week and next.
