Nine Radio (Talk)

It was an immediate switch off for me. Nothing worse than waking up to politics and been given the usual 4BC slant on things.

Agree! Peter Fegan is awesome. I don’t have to listen to 2GB on the app at breakfast for a few weeks anyway.

Gearing up to break the 51 year record of 2QN breakfast legend Paul Dix. Are there any out there that have topped Paul’s marathon effort?

Yeah bummer for me here in Sydney. 3AW overnights about as interesting as listening to paint dry. What’s with the radio play/serial? These were popular about 60+ years ago LOL. It’s a really bad look / listen for 2GB as Sydney’s No. 1 to be on such a threadbare roster over the break …

Talking about things that were popular 60 years ago and that is a talk station using stingers in between each call or segment.
Surely no one does that anymore?

There is something worse than mindless talkback overnight and that is someone rambling on and on and on night after night talking politics in the wee small hours. Imagine suffering that every night, it would drive you to insanity.

The pillow is a better friend overnight.

I haven’t listened to 3AW for years, and while I am not a huge fan of Aunty Donna, it looks to me like 3AW has not changed since I last listened:

Apparently sports commentator Jim Maxwell at ABC radio clocked up 50 years this year. Not far away from 51?

Jason Morrison was on 2GB last night doing the 8pm hour replacing Joe Hilderbrand.

Has he been heard on 2GB since he left years ago? Interesting choice.

Jason was a guest over the weekend - I think on Bill Woods’ show on 2GB.

Great to see Warren Moore get a Summer gig. I wonder if they’ll give weekends to him?

… It’ll probably be Jason Morrison on 2GB weekends in 2024.

About as funny as an ingrown toenail. First year uni standard at best.

Neil Breen isn’t suited to radio. Quite difficult to listen to.

You’ve recently discovered him on 2GB?

Lasted three years in Brisbane across breakfast and drive. His breakfast share not surpassed by the KQ cancer there now.

No accounting for taste in Brisbane it seems.

I’m aware of his history with 4BC yes. Listened to him briefly today filling on 2GB drive.

He has an odd cadence and quite quirky manner. Bizarre.

Peter Fegan doing 4BC breakfast and then back to reporting for Nine News in the afternoon and evening.

He’ll be a tired little Vegemite then. Also went to the Foo Fighters concert Tuesday night.

Luke Grant just announced on air as taking over 2GB weekend mornings from mid-Jan next year. Wonder who will take overnights Mon-Fri? Gawd i hope we dont keep suffering 3AW overnights full time … Luke just said he doesn’t know.
