Kate, Tim and Joel. This a classy photo.

Did they do three individual photoshoots and photoshop them together?

Would be good if they were looking like they knew each other.

Since Joel joined itâs peak narcissism.

You never miss an opportunity to take a pot shot at Joel. 
Not just him though. Tim is awful without Marty bringing him back to earth. And Kate is Kate.

Still banging that same old drum. The show verged on bullying, way too often with Marty there. It has a better dynamic now.
Anyway, it was Marty who abandoned them for bigger bucks at Triple M. Itâs worked out well for Kate, Tim and Joel. Not so much for Marty.

Says the broken record. I believe he left due to being bored with the format, it had been 10 years, people are entitled to move on, and people are entitled to express opinions divergent to your own. If you donât like mine, feel free to ignore.

Would anyone agree that Nova96.9âs current upbeat summer playlist is probably the most palatable it has been in a very long time.
I would keep this variety of upbeat/dance music 24/7.
A great point of difference, and at the complete other end of the spectrum to the daggy dated 2Day, but without the dreary songs that KIIS1065 sometimes plays.
Itâs definitely Feel Good Hit Music.

That part of it has been refreshingly good.
The part that still sucks is putting old hits on the most played playlist which drives you crazy. Notably, they put " Supalonely" by Benee back on high rotation and Iâve heard it about six times this week. 
Another one that drives me nuts is âTurn Me Onâ by Kevin Lyttle. There are quite a few others by the usual suspects which are a terrible counterbalance on Nova to these new hits.
There should be a rule that old tracks do not get played more than once a week.

I havenât listened to Nova in months, prefer KIIS or 2Day FM, better playlists IMO.
However, the Nova Noughties, Throwbacks and 90s DAB+ stations are a good listen at work.

I have mostly been listening to The Edge and KIIS. But I flick to Nova and stay there if they are playing something good.
I like the throwbacks that KIIS play because they have some tracks that I havenât heard in a long time but they are guilty of often repeating them too (although not as much Nova). But I really still hate their American accented voice overs. They seriously do not make sense when they talking about Sydney or even use Aussie slang which sounds really jarring.
I like The Edge because they play so much more new music and I especially like the dance music, world music and some hip hop stuff. They also play a lot more Australian artists during the day which is great. Not a fan of the heavy rap and heavy hip hop stuff they play though, so that has me switching. I do like how they play some recent throwbacks by artists like Khalid, who is a very underrated artist on KIIS and Nova.

Yes the Edge is good, especially on Friday and Saturday nights with the mix-up shows.
They, along with R&B Fridays, are the only station playing the new Silk Sonic tracks, which is what Nova would have played in the 2000s, before it went safe.

I agree with that although I donât like Silk Sonic so they make me switch. They sound too retro and more like something Triple J would play

I agree - KIIS 100% wins with old school/throwback selection.
But Nova96.9 wins for dance variety - with dance hits from 5yrs ago that are really good to hear again.

Iâve been covering Edge brekkie the last few weeks, glad youâre liking the playlist atm 
Youâll notice with The Edge that we donât play tracks that are more than 6 years old; which makes way for playing new music not heard on other stations, and allowing room for those recent throwbacks like Khalidâs early songs. I agree, very underrated artist!
