Nova 919 gets some throwback songs throughout the day on Thursday.
That is correct there are Throwbacks at 9am and throughout the work day on Nova 96.9
The old Throwback Thursday that was axed from Nova 96.9, that is still on Nova 106.9 is Throwbacks only between 9am-3pm Thursday, and then their regular playlist from 3pm onwards. I hope that clears that up.
Mumbrella reports Nova has axed a small number of newsroom jobs as part of a restructure. As the result, separate news bulletins on Kate, Tim & Marty will be replaced with a single Sydney-produced bulletin, effective from next week, but Perth will have its own bulletin while local sports coverage will be produced for Melbourne and Adelaide listeners.
Honestly, daytime rating have more to do with the station than the announcer.
Lots of stations have those when they have engaging announcers that are willing to put them to air. Greg would most likely be able to do that if he wanted to, but heâll just do whatever he normally does - ie. the same stock standard shit that Sydney and Melbourne get.
I wouldnât be surprised if they did. SCA got both Sarah Maree Cameron (now Fox floater and weekends) and Jaben Ryan (2Day afternoons) who were axed from Nova 100.3 at the start of the year. Unlike Nova, SCA donât mind having excess announcers to be floaters.
All presented from Sydney.

Nova Entertainment should change their name to Sydney Entertainment.
âYour listening to Brisbaneâs Nova - with Londonâs Greg Burns playing Fresh Hits in Sydneyâ
Nova 1069 started broadcasting in Brisbane in 2006. Little did Brisbane listeners know that it was eventually going to be a Sydney station.
We should still appreciate what we have with the Nova Network. I think that by 2025 Nova will be a relay of Capital FM in London. London DJs. London News. London voiceovers. London promos. London music. But with a 15 second weather update every hour for the Australian stations to make it seem local.

Yikes. Thatâs all I can say about it. Nova Brisbane sound so boring when theyâre networked I never find it worth listening to.
On the other hand, their âFriday Feelsâ songs are bang on.

What are they exactly?
I love the expression âbang onâ.
Actually itâs a great slogan for a radio Station.
Nova. Bang On.
Summary of all the changes here.

Classy.
Last time I heard Melbourne news presented from Sydney, they mispronounced a number of suburb names.
No quicker way to make you sound youâre not local IMO.
