Awkward that it’s the show Ursula is no longer part of.

How is it awkward? Urzila chose to leave and then Chrissie joined the show.

I think AGT will go head to head with The Amazing Race Australia.

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. I’m not sure if he’s joking, but Nova listeners, is the late start and getting Fridays off true?

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

Pretty sure it’s true as he isn’t in the podcast until roughly half way through each day.

I think Dave O’Neil does Friday.

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 hasn’t worked Fridays in the 3 years I’ve been listening.

Correct. Doesn’t seem to effect the ratings.

Doesn’t enhance the ratings either.

Olympia Valance was guest co-host on Nova 100 breakfast today (August 18) as Chrissie Swan is not well. Olympia appeared from 7am to 9am while Sam appeared in the first hour of the show as well.

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

I didn’t 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 “not happy birthday” so maybe she was either sick or dealing with something personal.

According to Sunday Herald Sun’s Fiona Byrne, Kate’s absence from the drive show has been planned in advance to give her a short spell after filming Australia’s Got Talent for Seven. Kate is due to return on August 29.
A Nova spokeswoman told the paper on Friday that Kate, Tim and Joel would return in 2023.

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.

So true. Someone with the talent like Jamie Row would do well in each individual market.

They are the number one show in Drive. I disagree with your assessment. I’m not a huge Kate Richie fan but she works well with the team and she is popular with listeners. She contributes to making it number one.
I thought will and woody was
