That hasn’t happened for a few years. Away games are called from Perth off a monitor. I can understand having a local call team for Eagles and Dockers away games, but can’t understand why they have local callers for games not featuring WA teams when they can just take a feed from 3AW. Brad Hardie is based in Melbourne.

Probably because they can make more by selling sponsorships for away games?
Nine were rather too hasty earlier in removing Julie-anne and Tod from the 6PR website, although they are back on again now. This is in contrast to Nine’s usual tardy approach to updating station websites, with the information often out-of-date and it can be difficult to work out the full schedule as sometimes 2 programs appear to be on at the same time

Oh wow. Did they get rid of the wrong people?
I wonder if they’ll have to rehire one of those recently made redundant?

Could also pick up one of those who may be leaving the ABC as apparently they are also going to be shaking up their lineup.

The Australian also has a report on Adshead quitting 6PR, adding:
The station’s content manager, Emily White, has also called it quits, with spies telling The Australian she was unhappy about being left in the dark about the abrupt announcement of changes at the station.

Denis Walter caught out broadcasting remotely tonight. He does it every Monday but pretends he’s in the office.
Guest Tony Tardio has had to take over his nights program due to technical difficulties.

You can always clearly tell when he is remote too. The quality of his voice is slightly muffled, like the bitrate isn’t as high as in studio

I know Denis rates through the roof but surely at some stage both parties will tire of the remote broadcasting arrangement.
I didn’t mind Steve Price’s suggestion in the HS of moving Tony Moclair to Nights. His style of broadcasting is much better suited to evenings. Get a female voice back in Afternoons (be it Jacqui or someone else), and back to a Tom Elliott style drive show.

I’m sure Denis isn’t the only one doing it

He is the only AW presenter who doesn’t live in Melbourne, living in Geelong. I can understand why Denis does it, it’s much more convenient, but I guess when you’re hosting talkback radio it’s important you’re present in the studio, particularly given how much video AW record on the live cam to upload over social media etc.
Ray Hadley presents from home for a few days a week. You can host a talk back program from anywhere. But it would appear the more high profile the presenter the more flexible the arrangements can be.

The sports sponsor credit in the 3AW news appears to have doubled in size (about 5-8 seconds now). More time for sponsors I’m guessing.

All Nine stations have done this (and I’d assume also those who take Nine’s News).
They’re promoting it as a Finance credit rather than Sports.

I’m talking about the sports credit in the hourly news bulletin that comes before the sports news. Not sure what the "Finance credit " is or what that article is referring to.

I think thesub1 is talking about Nine Audio: Finance which was revealed at last week’s upfronts and officially launched yesterday.

Jacqui Felgate again demonstrating how incapable she is covering breaking news and presenting on radio…
Um this, um that, incredibly hard to follow and then on the immediate conclusion to a press conference where police said they believe it was a tragic accident she says “there’s no worse crime”…
Honestly, 3AW is and should be way better than this.

A women was arrested. Wreckless driving or not, it’s still a crime. A little boy was killled. Jacqui was almost in tears at some points during today’s program.
It’s disappointing that you are going after her today after the tragic news she had to cover.
