As they should.
Also, using the “with” branding means that they can use Kate’s full name for better recognition from the public.

She was good when the show was Kate, Tim, and Marty.
The tension between Kate and Marty, was similar to that of Wendy Harmer and Peter Moon.
It makes great radio, but it becomes toxic.

Looks like they are doing a Sam Pang with Kate Ritchie.
She is only on the show from 7-9.

Does Ricki-Lee leave the Nova drive show early on Mondays, as Australian Idol results show starts filming at 5.30pm Sydney time? And does she host from Nova studios or Sydney Coliseum where Idol is filmed?

She’s not on Monday’s at all.

It looks like she will only return on Mondays when Australian Idol finishes.

She has been calling in while she’s getting ready at the studio. Surprised they didn’t do some pre-recorded segments to slot in on a Monday. They have done that in the past.
But then again, they have been taking the piss out of other Drive shows which are completely pre-recorded like Carrie and Tommy, so that might be a bit hypocritical.

Is Carrie & Tommy still pre-recorded even though Carrie no longer has The Project commitments?
And who else pre-records? I’d assume Will & Woody do the same as RTJ (i.e. they’re live into the eastern states and on delay/playback for the southern & western states).
That’d be funny radio for RTJ listeners on Nova93.7 who’d want to call in to agree how silly it is that some drive shows are not live.

Will and Woody is live to Melbourne and Sydney, plus Brisbane outside of DST. Previously they recorded a separate intro for Brisbane and ran the show on 10-15 minutes delay to allow Brisbane to insert its own music, along with some breaks from the previous day’s show for timing/continuity - I believe this won’t be the case this year.
Adelaide takes the show on a 30 minute delay, again edited locally for music/timing, as well as editing a version for regional markets (which take the show 5-7pm, one hour behind live). Perth only takes an hour of the show, again edited locally.
With ARN rolling out Zetta I suspect this will change, either later this year or for 2024. From memory, Sydney is meant to come across from NexGen in April.
Hit stations - along with the few non-SCA affiliates (Move FM Lithgow, Coast/Mixx/TRFM in Vic) - take Carrie and Tommy ‘as is’, with pulses in place to fire off local ads. Triple M does the same for the various Rush Hour shows (plus the footy etc.) although I’m not sure whether this is the case for Perth taking Melbourne’s Rush Hour in the 6-7pm slot locally.

Yes. Tim Blackwell talked about calling Carrie for clarification about something last week and joked she would already be home now anyway. They are actually friends and Carrie went to Tim’s wedding.

For ONCE a music show WITHOUT Smallzy. Good move Nova.
… Smallzy is brilliant & very good at his job. But he’s hosting too much across the station. It’s great they’re giving someone else a chance …
Here’s hoping their playlist will be very similar to what Nova96.9 used to (and should) sound like.

They finally acknowledged Sarah’s departure in the first hour of the show on Monday. Better late than never but still really terrible that it was done this way.

… First hour of the show before Kate Ritchie joined the show? …
