4BC has announced the extension of contracts for its flagship breakfast show hosts, Laurel Edwards, Gary Clare, and Mark Hine, ensuring that Brisbane’s longest-running breakfast program will continue beyond June.
The announcement was made by 4BC’s Head of Content, Greg Byrnes, who praised the show’s recent performance and its resonance with local audiences.
I have noticed that Mike Jeffreys turns up on Sunday night for his overnight shift (last two weekends) and then hands over to Clinton Maynard for the remainder of the week who in turn hands over to Melbourne programs over the weekend. Does anyone know the reason for this?
Someone must be listening to them then,it’s hard to believe it’s almost 2 years since they went to 4BC ,after the demise of 4KQ😕
@Rossco Mike’s health isn’t good, the long, overnight shifts have worn him down.
Clinton thankfully knows news and thankfully fact checks what interview talent has to say.
Does it also coincide with rumours that Mike isn’t happy doing mid-dawns on 2GB?
It adds to it. Mike has told long time radio friends he is not loving it.
Yes, can understand, I remember Mike on 2HD back in the 1960s. Time to hang up his microphone and smell the roses.
Tony Jones filled in for Jacqui Felgate on 3AW drive show this afternoon.
At the end of the program, Tony joked that he had only 14 minutes to run from 3AW studios to Nine News studios, get dressed and make up, before appearing at the desk for this evening’s bulletin.
Yeah I really like Mike and do miss his overnight show. But understand if he stops, his current shift could affect his health. Clinton is a real asset to GB. Seems like a real nice person as well.
I find it odd that a Senior Reporter is delegated to mid-dawns.
Surely there is better things for him. That’s unless he prefers announcing over reporting news.
Exactly.
He wanted the full time gig, he was aware of the hours, the behaviour now is odd yet seen many times before by ‘talent’.
Can’t wait to hear what 9 does with the Olympics on the radio. Reckon it’ll be epic.
Stuff it up if they are true to form. I would prefer normal programmes and if one is interested in the Olympics watch it on television.
Apparently Ray Hadley will be there in Paris, so at least one commentator will be on the ground.
John Stanley also mentions he’s going on his show as a long time Olympic contributor for commercial radio rights holders over the years.
No doubt the 3AW breakfast team will be there annoying the masses.
Ross and Russ and Ben Fordham will definitely be there.
Imagine there’ll be live coverage overnight from 6pm til 5:30am.
Which has happened again this week.
I can’t see Nine allowing this situation to carry on for too long. It’s not even as if Mike is using up holiday - he hasn’t been there 5 minutes
A caller asked him how he was, he said he is feeling great, much better. So yeah it doesn’t seem to be health related. He didn’t sign off either and say see you next Monday.
