Pretty sure Tom Elliot just burped live on air while reading an advertisementā¦
Aaannndd this is why we love MediaSpy 
While he stills appears with blonde hair on 2GBās site, Ben Fordham has been given a grey makeover in advertisements on the side of Sydney buses. Normally media companies try to make their talent look younger nor older. Maybe trying to make him blend in with the target audience?
Having him pose inside a coffin was deemed too tacky.
Tom Elliott will host 3AW Drive from Geelongās Avalon Airport next Tuesday (February 21) from 3pm AEDT, to celebrate Bonza Airlinesā inaugural flight from Avalon to Sunshine Coast. That flight is already sold out.
Shane McInnes filling in for Ross Stevenson on 3AW breakfast today.
Ross Stevenson mentioned this morning that there is a āFor Leaseā sign out the front of the 3AW building. He said heās unsure whether it means 3AW will be moving.
This listing was added 5 days ago, and based on the pictures suggests that the available spaces are already vacant.
The nature of the facilities required by radio stations (studios, tech fitouts, etc) take a while to build so theyād know they were moving long before the space came available for lease.
Iām assuming 3AW has finally moved into the same building as GTV9 and The Age?
No, they havenāt.
The NBN were leasing of this building until moving to the Collins Square development further down into Docklands. I suspect itās their former tenancy.
The four weekly regulars on 3AWās Wide World of Sports during this AFL season made their first appearance this week.
Monday - Matthew Lloyd
Tuesday - Leigh Matthews
Wednesday - Matthew Richardson
Thursday - Jimmy Bartel
Updates to the live camera graphics
Also! Finally they have resumed the OB studio cams which is great. Pretty good setup, even switches back to the studio when there is someone there (being news update, guest etc)
Great setup from them and good to see them being this back!
Now that theyāre using the Nine colours & style, they should use Nine News (or similar) graphics for the above.
Nine launches next round of radio & audio internship program
Nineās talk radio stations have launched their highly successful internship program for 2023, focusing on Content Producers, Social Media and Podcasting.
This will be the fourth round of the internship program since its launch in 2022. Itās designed to discover the next generation of radio professionals, provide them with invaluable hands-on experience and a comprehensive understanding of what itās like to work within a leading radio and audio business, with support from some of the best talent in the industry.
Importantly, the six-week internships are paid, and will be offered at each station: Sydneyās 2GB, Melbourneās 3AW, Brisbaneās 4BC and 6PR in Perth.
During the program, interns are provided with hands-on training in radio production, broadcasting, journalism and social media. Successful applicants will work alongside the Digital Audio teams, learning how to drive audiences through engaging social media content and even get exposure to the 9Podcasts team, creating entertaining content for listeners.
Tom Malone, Managing Director of Nine Radio, said: āWeāve seen applications increase by more than 50 percent since the first round in 2022 and the quality keeps getting better.ā
āTo date, 82 percent of our interns have gained employment with our stations after completing the course, in roles such as producer, journalist or panel operator, and Iām so excited to see a new generation of talent continue to come up through the ranks, from a range of different backgrounds.ā
This is the first of three internship rounds that will run in 2023. Applications close on 28 March, with successful applicants commencing in mid-April.

Not a great survey for 2GB. Dropping to #2 for the first time since 2003.
Shocked to see nights drop by 6.9.
Iām sure the next survey will see a return to #1.
I wouldnāt even worry about ratings for 2GB.
Until there is a surveyed commercial AM competitor, they have nothing to worry about.
