2GB has "I’m (newsreader name) , there’ll be more news at (next bulletin time) on your home of the Olympics, SYDNEY’S 2GB. For about 2 weeks they have stopped having the frequency ie on Sydney’s 2GB 873.
Its interesting that 3AW doesn’t have 3 headlines at the start but has a weather call instead. I prefer that and in my opinion it should be used network wide. They only started doing the 3 headlines since 2GB combined with 2UE and were owned by Nine Entertainment.
Time for Jacqui to go.
The damage has already been done. 3AW need to act before it gets even worse and irreversible.
The sooner, the better.
The segment with her husband on a Friday is just rubbish.
The Breakfast show with Ross and Russ has also had a decline in ratings(although still on top).
This might be a silly comment, but wonder if Nine were considering getting Michael Felgate (star of 10’s Melbourne Cup Carnival) for their horse racing? Goes back to Makybe Diva days on Seven’s coverage for Seven News. Also on RSN radio I believe and other stakeholders in the industry. Could’ve also been used across WWOS, such as the tennis and Olympics, which Michael also did a lot, first producing Athens 2004.
Would be a bit awkward if his wife Jacqui Felgate got fired, not that it would matter though.
Going to have to agree to disagree.
You haven’t provided any counterpoints whatsoever.
Correct. It seems 2GB has phased out mentions of “873” on air as much as possible.
Given this era of smart speakers and DAB+, there isn’t much reason for listeners to have to manually search the dial for 873AM … Not unless you’ve recently purchased a used car.
I suppose the same could be said about KIIS’ new Sydney studios and K&J’s new bus. No mention of 106.5 on them.
For all the talk about Felgate, the blowtorch should also be on O’Keefe since he’s not doing much better than Jim Wilson did:
If he turned up regularly to his show it would probably help. He seems to be away half the time. A bit like Peter Overton on Nine. I just couldn’t be bothered.
Darren James at 3AW throwing down the gauntlet to Ray Hadley at 2GB this morning. Claiming either the NSW police commissioner has done the wrong thing or Ray lied when recounting his story last week about telling the father of one of the Sydney stabbing victims that their daughter was killed. As he pointed out, it is police protocol to confirm with next of kin before confirming with any other person about the identity of deaths.
My only suggestion would be that the father had given Ray Hadley permission to find out on his behalf. But if not true, it’s quite a serious breach by NSW Police.
Isn’t Darren James just a cohost for Life & Technology?
He hosts weekend breakfast which runs from 6am to 12pm. Which on Sundays includes Sunday morning program which is news / topical.
Oh “The Mouth from the South” absolutely ruins Life & Technology, why doesn’t he just shut up. I no longer listen to this programme.
However the audience need to be reminded of the benefits of DAB+, the ease of listening, quality of audio
One of AW’s longest serving voices, going back many decades and known to many, has shifted from show to show over that time, but for some 20 years now has hosted the weekend morning shows (previously Buy Swap and Sell, The Big Backyard with Jane Edmundson, The Big House & Streetwise with Bill Kuznichuck and Sunday Morning (which still airs) with Nick McCallum and John Michael Howsen (and now Heidi Murphy). The former shows merged mostly into one ‘Weekend Breakfast’ now. Also a well known Collingwood man.
$20 this will be the “top story” and depth on today Drive program. It’s already been done to death on Mornings and Afternoons today.
And I was right. 
first half an hour is the same topic and same opinions being given.
“I’d also love young mothers to tell us how hard it is being a young mum” is this really drive content? It’s afternoon show content.
The only thing I’d say is, were Nine/3AW wanting to attract more female listeners, particularly younger and thus more advertisers for those targets vs older males?
Today was the absolute final straw for me.
The only takeaway is that she was giving away a lot of wine to callers who didn’t agree with her.
Would I be accurate in saying that JF was siding with the mother?
She was siding with the mother more than the mother was siding with herself.
