> [@amc\_556](#): > > It’s hard to be profitable and cool at the same time… That seems to be the understanding of history that I’ve followed: the Nova model was profitable right up until 2008, when advertisers weren’t prepared to pay/couldn’t afford Nova’s premium rates. I seem to recall that Fox started to put less emphasis on their ‘Ad Free 50s’ around this time too, which given the economic climate makes sense. ---

I’ve seriously stopped listening to them over the past few weeks. I have tried Jase and PJ on KIIS and I love their show now. I’ve found myself listening to Fox during the day and drive home. ---

Simon anchors the breakfast show, does a stack of community events - the most recent one [http://radiotoday.com.au/hit1069-breakfast-raise-50k/](http://radiotoday.com.au/hit1069-breakfast-raise-50k/) - and is adored by staff and listeners. He’s a top bloke, a super colleague and a real pleasure to call a mate. So no matter where he’s worked before - their loss, our gain 🙂 ---

Back to Throwbacks this morning kicking off Fitzy and Wippa. So I thought they had dropped the Friday Feels idea (which is an awful concept) but seems the next song is labelled as such. And doesn’t even make sense because it’s just one of the overplayed, often repeated songs on their playlist. ---

Nova 96.9 Friday Feels is very half arsed!! They announce Friday Feels even if it is a regular song on their playlist. The last time I heard Friday Feels on Nova 106.9 they announced it before they played a song that does not get regulary appear on their playlist. So it was cool. How can Brisbane do it so well and then Sydney do it so badly considering Sydney is the headoffice. Where all the network programmers are based??? ---

> [@Ant5476](#): > > Nova 96.9 Friday Feels is very half arsed!! They announce Friday Feels even if it is a regular song on their playlist. It makes no sense. It’s a farce. As time goes on, they’re making me hate the station more and more. I’m actually listening to KIIS more and more as a result. They still have a lot of shit on their playlist like remixes, certain old tracks and a few artists like Pink that get repeated way more than they should. But I actually prefer the wider variety of current music and recent hits on KIIS. Then they play an annoying Kyle & Jackie O promo with a fake American accent and I’m reaching for the dial again. 😆 [Previous page](https://forums.mediaspy.org/t/nova-network/79.md?page=30) [Next page](https://forums.mediaspy.org/t/nova-network/79.md?page=32)
