Time for Darren to call
It a day I reckon both Craig and Tony did a much better job. I’d give it to Tony full time IMO

Only issue could be Tony’s commitments with calling the footy, and Craig lives in Mansfield I believe so might not want to commute each week. But I agree, Darren’s had his day and the slot should be given to someone new. If not Tony or Craig, then someone like Elise Elliott would be good.
Haven’t listened to 3AW weekend mornings for years but AW still comfortably win the weekend ratings don’t they? Why risk that ?
Agree with finding a spot for Elise, I’m very impressed with her. She could teach her husband a bit thing or two about actively listening to interview subjects and talk back callers.

I don’t have any issues with Darren James. It’s more about the guests and other co-hosts with all his weekend programs/segments.
He’s mostly just a moderator/compère type role that he does satisfactorily. Especially during the Sunday Morning program from 10am.

The amount of times they keep advertising for Chris’s drive show on 2GB starting today they must be desperate for it to rate.
Which it won’t the drive show hasn’t been number 1 in it’s timeslot for years and has been 2GB’s poorest performing timeslot for years. People want to relax on the drive home which is why the music stations such as Smooth rate well. I don’t see that changing anytime soon.

because nothing says 2023 like a logo that looks like it was written in the 1940s

TBH It looks alright for me. I am glad 2GB doesn’t stick out like a sore thumb anymore compared to the rest of Nine Radio.

which probably implies that they should have changed 2GB to match the others, not vice versa

um, Nine Talk, I made something in the same style that looks infinitely better - call me. it’s not too late to change!

So we essentially have 2GB, 3GB, 4GB and 6GB.
I suppose there is not as much heritage in the other logos.
Im pretty sure we’d have a MediaSpy member who did an exact mock of all these logos years ago when Nine took over.

I wonder how much Nine paid for those

Godawful design, looks like a bad mock and makes the Southern Cross Broadcasting era logos look fresh by comparison.

The “new” logos look atrocious. Michael Power’s mock designs are 200% better!

So out of the 3AW and 2GB designs they get to choose from, they choose the older, outdated, more hideous and garish 2GB version?

I might be in the minority here in saying I didn’t really mind the 2GB design (but for 2GB only) but why go with the blue? Not even the same shade of blue 3AW/4BC/6PR have been using
