Anyone else’s 9 apps keep crashing? All of them seem to be. I’ve tried 4BC, 3AW and 2GB.
No issues for me even though I don’t tend to use the app I use the direct streaming link. You can try and clear the app cache and make sure you have the latest version from the app store or Google Play store.

Can’t stand him these days, as can’t most going off social media and the like, his Harley Reid comments on that podcast hilarious now!

Some quality reporting on Nine Radio this morning at 10am by Madeleine Burke. “It appears a series of vandalism attacks happened between four and five o’clock here at the US Embassy in St Kilda Road”.
She was probably running to a deadline and meant US Consulate but still, a glaring error.

Today marks one year since Dee Dee presented what would be her final show on 3AW. How time flies. I still can’t believe how Nine Radio mgmt treated her.

Starting to hear more promos for the Olympics on 2gb and 3aw.
Wonder when they’ll announce their coverage plans. Will it be all hosted by Ray Hadley or will they be using members of 3aw’s AFL team?

I’d be amazed if Shane McInnes doesn’t show up at the very least. Tim Lane would be great but would leave 3AW a bit short on the AFL front.

Well Felgate will be thankful she recorded an increase. That will buy her some time. Will see what the next survey does.
Elliot really is unstoppable.

Wanting someone to fail is uncharitable, you can always switch off.
For the record, Felgate’s shift is 3-6pm, so the 4-7pm share figure doesn’t really reflect anything important.
Shares are almost redundant today.
What is important?
Cumes, target demo’s, time spent listening, growth in ‘new’ listeners/technology, plus other performance indicators which 9 radio have.
The private survey data available to each subscribing station is vast today giving them the opportunity to analyse much more than the headline published numbers.
Felgate and all of the other presenters will stay their while their audience generates enough revenue and skews younger.
As the current Nine television news discrimination issues highlight, media is a tough business, especially for females.
She’s been given an opportunity, good luck to her.

I don’t want to switch off. I want to listen to drive.
But I can’t. She isn’t suited for what Drive is all about. Anyone can sit in front of microphone, answer calls, end calls, and roll on. She adds no substance to the program.
I’m not sure what being a Female has to do with it. I listen to Heidi. And did D D. They also didn’t lose 90k listeners last time I checked.

Anyone? Really?
Maybe she’s not suited to the type of drive program you want, but obviously 3AW think she is.
Lost 90K listeners?
From where? Cume, certain demographics or something else?
It really doesn’t matter.
The reality is, you don’t like her. That’s your choice. Whether she’s suited to the program is totally subjective.
Nine radio have her on contract for drive, they obviously believe in her abilities.
If you wish to complain, contact 3AW.

I like Jac. She just isn’t suited to the role. I like many of my colleagues. Some of them shouldn’t be in the job however. Management pulls those decision making strings not me.

Mate this is a media forum, subjective criticism is what it’s for. Sorry you disagree with that poster but either debate the point or ignore them.

Happy to contact 3AW and advise them they should have put Heidi Murphy in the role.

I believe this Sunday Nights edition of Remember When will be dedicated to the life of John Blackman with his wife Cecile on (To be Confimed) since he was a semi-regular guest on night line

And breakfast host for many years along with Uncle Roy (Bruce Mansfield).

It will be a short program however, as 3AW will broadcast the Sunday night AFL match between Essendon and Carlton beforehand.

If you had read both my posts, I offered comments and broad thoughts on the topic. Indeed, I agreed in my second post that her situation is subjective.
So, if your only issue is the suggestion to complain to 3AW, I’m not sure how that could be perceived as anything other than a logical progression, if that poster really believes they’ve made a mistake.
Perhaps mate, if you don’t agree with my posts, ignore them.
