Nine Radio (Talk)

How many songs is he playing per hour?

Probably the same production team in the background - possibly waiting till they actually have a new line-up and team before shaking up the format.

Shane McInnes is actually fairly decent at the current affairs thing

Heidi Murphy would be better vs TJ. Keep him on the 9 News Sports desk and that desk only.

There’s nothing wrong with either of them. Tony has been great this week.

From the Sunday Mail’s “The Scoop”:

Following 4BC’s revelation Peter Fegan will take over as breakfast show host – replacing Laurel Edwards, Gary Clare, and Mark Hine – attention has now turned to the future of afternoon host Sofie Formica.

The seasoned radio presenter was notably absent from an internal email sent to staff on Thursday, which outlined the station’s programming shake-up, including Gary Hardgrave’s continuation in the Drive slot, filling the position vacated by Peter Gleeson.

Now Insiders tell Scoop that Formica is in talks with at least two rival stations, with one reportedly offering her a significant deal.

Yeah this was mentioned a few weeks ago about Sofie. I’m wondering why she’s wanting to leave. There’s been no negative coverage as far as I’m aware regarding her show and from what I’ve personally heard on air, listeners seem to like her.

Maybe she wanted Breakfast and is now salty she didn’t get it so she wants out?

Who knows.

Interesting that she was chosen as the face of 4BC in Nine’s Election promo

It looks like with Peter Fegan moving to 4BC Breakfast from Monday that we loose our local Weekend Mornings program. The schedule on the 4BC website shows Luke Grant presenting from this weekend meaning piped up from 2GB. I hope this is either a mistake or temporary. Surely they have someone in Brisbane who can do weekends? Michelle Tapper?

Speculation is Michelle would be the prime candidate to host Afternoons next year with Sofie reportedly unhappy and moving on.

So I guess there is a deficiency in available talent in Brisbane resulting in a networked program.

4BC Breakfast with Laurel, Gary & Mark finished this morning. After some thank yous they played Green Day’s Good Riddance (Time of Your Life).

Will we now see the music die on 4BC?

Also, no mention of their departure on the 4BC website or socials.
