While I agree with you about the TV ratings trend. I think the point cranky is making is that the project’s current ratings does not warrant the amount the hosts are being paid.

Really? I see nothing in his post relating to what the hosts are being paid. I thought his complaint is that The Project is using Nova’s Chrissie Swan as a fill-in, at a time when ratings are low. Maybe the thinking is that the regulars should all be there right now to boost ratings.
I’m sure the producers are paying for hosts they can afford. They wouldn’t be paying more to produce the show than the revenue they raise through advertising.

Thanks @tommy13190, exactly.
It’s an indulgent catwalk for talent and their management to tick a few boxes.
No complaint of Chrissie, great talent.

What’s that got to do with anything? Hosts on CNN, msnbc are extremely high for very low audiences, there’s more to making money than total audience numbers for a company. It’s a very naive way of thinking.

Kate, Tim and Joel are also taking a break but interestingly Fitzy and Wippa are still on. I guess they’re lining up their break with the school holidays again rather than the survey break.

As if Pleasure Love by Supafly / De Funk isn’t a bad enough track, the Nova Remix is an abomination.
Why do Nova keep producing a “Nova Remix” of songs they play? Who is asking for songs to be redone with Nova, Nova, Nova repeated throughout?

Because KIIS did it first.
Agreed, torture.

Nath Valvo filled in for Sam Pang on Nova 100 breakfast today. Usually, Dave O’Neil sits on Sam’s chair on Fridays, but he was sick.

This “Pleasure Love” remix just replaces “Loving is my pleasure” with “Nova is my pleasure”. 
Sounds like the original singer too.

If they’re paying the original artist money to record a piss weak Nova remix, then they’ve got rocks in their heads.
Tim Blackwell and Joel Creasey have been taking the piss out of the “Nova remix” so I really dont understand who thinks it’s a good idea.

Does Kate still say anything on that show? It just seems like a show to boost Tim’s ego nowadays

She’s more confident these days and both Kate and Joel often pay out on Tim, individually or together, which grounds him.

Thought I would share this article I found here as it is the only playlist I can find of Nova pre 2015. If anyone has any others from around this time feel free to share…

I wonder how small the Aussie content on Nova is these days. Probably close to the minimum 10% their licence requires them to play?

Yesterday on Kate, Tim and Joel, Joel commented that a lot of people are complaining that only women are winning the May competition. He wanted to make it clear to listeners that it was no way rigged or anything suspicious and that mostly it is only women who are entering the competition.
