Awkward that it’s the show Ursula is no longer part of. ---

How is it awkward? Urzila chose to leave and then Chrissie joined the show. ---

According to the Herald Sun, Sam Pang is out of contract with Nova at the end of the year. Apparently Sam says he is only on air from 7am-9am, Monday to Thursday. I’m not sure if he’s joking, but Nova listeners, is the late start and getting Fridays off true? ---

While I haven’t listened to the show in years, I do remember him starting at 7am like 4 years ago so it doesn’t surprise me if he is still starting late. Not sure about Fridays ---

Yes this is correct. Chrissy and Browny do the first part of the show with Deano and without Sam. And he hasn’t worked Fridays in the 3 years I’ve been listening. ---

I didn’t hear them give any reason for her absence this time but I suspect she has been sick again. I missed start of the first day Rikki came in but they did say she was asked to come in at very short notice. Kate had a birthday last weekend and on social media she said “not happy birthday” so maybe she was either sick or dealing with something personal. ---

According to Sunday Herald Sun’s Fiona Byrne, Kate’s absence from the drive show has been planned in advance to give her a short spell after filming Australia’s Got Talent for Seven. Kate is due to return on August 29. A Nova spokeswoman told the paper on Friday that Kate, Tim and Joel would return in 2023. ---

What yawn. Ex soapie actor turned network drive radio announcer. Nova could run locally hosted music shifts in Drive and still be number one at a fraction of the talent cost of that networked bore fest. ---

> [@crankymedia](#): > > What yawn. Ex soapie actor turned network drive radio announcer. Nova could run locally hosted music shifts in Drive and still be number one at a fraction of the talent cost of that networked bore fest. They are the number one show in Drive. I disagree with your assessment. I’m not a huge Kate Richie fan but she works well with the team and she is popular with listeners. She contributes to making it number one. ---
