4BH seems to be doing well enough without him. 2UE doing ok. Depends whether Ace sees value in him programming across the other stations such as Magic/3MP, I suppose.

It really doesnāt particularly on commercial stations which for reasons that escape me show an unnecessary bias to the Liberals in all their discussions that does not promote democratic discussions at all.

There is nothing democratic about the talk on most Nine talk stations!
Who would host Saturday Night Live doing the summer on 2gb/4bc? Would Nine put the Simon Owens Show on 2ue/4bc instead?

This again? The Brisbane survey numbers would suggest that ACEās programming team is doing a pretty good job without him. No disrespect to Brent at all, but I think it would be money they donāt really need to spend.

Yes doing really well with Sun morning 60s, Sunday night 70s, Jukebox Sat night, Top 10. I wonder how they came up with those programs.

Any radio programmer over the past 40 years will have done these or variations on them.

Donāt know about other markets but that was a staple for decades on the old 3MP, I doubt thereās any exclusivity to the name or format.

Yes thatās true, I agree
Confirmed on-air that with daylight savings ending tomorrow, 6PR will join the national weekend overnight program from 2.00am eastern states time/12.00am Perth time tomorrow morning. So has the 6PR weekend overnight host also been given the flick?

If theyāve axed the weeknight program, I would imagine it would cost more to have the weekend program than the weeknight one (i.e. higher overnight penalties, etc)

Strange that 4Bh just started doing them when 4KQ ended and never before.

not strange at all. filling a gap left by a predecessor is a fairly standard move. But, again, 4BH didnāt invent these things. They have been staples of radio programming for decades.

Yes, I read on one of the industry sites during the week that 6PRās weekend host was let go too.

Sunday Herald Sunās Fiona Byrne has done an interview with 3AW drive host Jacqui Felgate (paywall article). Fiona revealed that Jacqui quit Seven after being overlooked for the nightly news anchor role, not expecting 3AWās call.

Puff piece trying to build her exposure while she takes two weeks leave.
You forget how bad she actually is, until you listen to Heidi Murphy filling in and then you realise how bad the Drive program has become this year.
