I’d recommend myself, as I can quite cantankerous.

But does the deal include 4BC?, I was expecting an announcement that he was going to take some long service leave.

After whinging about the microphones not working and that they don’t do maintenance anymore because they are moving.
I’d say end of year considering a for lease sign went up outside the building that 3aw is in lot long ago.

So when are 2GB doing the same? Will they get a fancy new studio with camera everywhere?

Ben Fordham used to talk about being able to walk to work but nothing came of it. Then there was talk about the Newsroom and Sales relocating to the new Nine studios in North Sydney but I don’t think that happened either. My guess is that they will stay put in cheaper rental in Pyrmont.

“Having a face for radio” just describes everyone here. 
What’s not to say they won’t find a way to turn 2GB, 3AW etc., into simulcasts.

if they start doing that the presenters will want pay rises because they are now “on the telly”. Then they’ll want stylists and make-up to make them look presentable. etc etc. You can’t tell me those boofhead blokey presenters won’t be the biggest divas

To me, this reads as: I’ll pay for Ray 24/7.
Heh, Pay For Ray. That rhymes.

According to The Australian’s Media Diary, Nine is currently looking at not broadcasting Ray Hadley on 4BC at all from next year. Nine Radio apparently sees 2024 as a critical juncture to cement the “live and local” philosophy for Brisbane, with the mayoral election on March 16, and the Queensland state election in October.
The report says that, after some high-level talks in Brisbane in recent days, the plan is to make a fresh start with a local mornings host by January next year, and it is understood that Hadley was fully aware of Nine Radio’s likely intentions before renewing his contract earlier this month.
