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. Iām not sure if heās joking, but Nova listeners, is the late start and getting Fridays off true?

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

Front bar on (usually) Thursday nights would make Friday morning challenging.

Yes this is correct. Chrissy and Browny do the first part of the show with Deano and without Sam. And he hasnāt worked Fridays in the 3 years Iāve been listening.

Kate Ritchie has been absent of late and Ricki-Lee has been filling in. Is Kate about to announce she is leaving?

I didnāt 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 ānot happy birthdayā so maybe she was either sick or dealing with something personal.

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.
