Something overlooked with Ben, Liam and Belle’s move is the future of Smallzy’s Surgery. Being moved to 8pm-10pm?
Awesome news, glad to see they’ve been picked up by Nova
Can’t see Tim leaving any time soon, nor would Nova want that since they are still the number one Drive show. If anything, they might be a successor for Fitzy and Wippa with Kate, if they decide to chuck it in.
He probably wouldn’t be too upset about that. I mean, there was a time he wasn’t doing Fridays because it was becoming a bit too much and he didn’t want to burn out. Plus, he was doing a three hour show on his own while others do a two hour show with three presenters.
Not starting this Monday
Isn’t DC based in Sydney?
A very strategic move by Nova100 here.
Any disgruntled KIIS101.1 fans will switch to Nova100 immediately.
K&J may just have to build an audience from the ground up.
… Only issue, is Nova100 didn’t really let Ben, Liam & Belle “bed in” to the market. Too much chop & changing could alienate the Nova Melb audience.
Seems to be too good an opportunity to pass over though
Starting in about a month
They need to get this on air asap.
Ironically DC is based out of Star 104.5 Gosford
Clint Stanaway is not rejoining the show.
I wonder if ARN anticipated this happening?
kJO will now have to build an audience from the ground up in Melbourne. This certainly makes the launch and the chances of rating success much harder.
Que Kyle slagging Nova. This could get quite nasty.
I doubt ARN would’ve predicted this given Nova100 had only recently relaunched their brekkie lineup.
No mention of Ben Carney for Perth afternoons is interesting. I guess it’s more likely that 937 will keep 9am-12pm and 12-2pm shifts, don’t see a purpose in them changing just because east coast markets are reshuffling the decks.
I’d be surprised if Ben, Liam and Belle were offered a breakfast slot elsewhere on Nova in the future given they’ve just been axed from Melb breakfast. Their axing indicates management don’t have faith in their show for such a lucrative timeslot.
They weren’t setting the ratings on fire.
Plus, all three presenters and very young compared to their rivals. I think this was a small problem. Great talent, but at least they’ll have a national based show in the evening.
Daggy clothes. Look like the middle aged mum and dads they are. What happened to Nova looking, sounding and oozing cool?
Has he moved to Adel or dropping his voice tracks in from a computer/studio near his home?
They did alright in Adelaide and that’s with Fresh added to the market to nibble at the lower end of their audience.
They need to launch this on the exact same day as Kyle and Jackie O arrive in Melb and do a mega advertising campaign prior to launch.
