I’m surprised that ratings in January are of any real value with new lineups and mixed up listeners in the mix
Based on their latest Facebook post, Jase and Lauren are staying on air for another two weeks.
Great decision!
That’ll make it harder for Kyle & Jackie O to dominate Melbourne now.
Kyle & Jackie O Gone now til mid-January 2025
Jase & Lauren Sticking around for 2 more weeks
They (Nova) should be very proud of picking up Jase & Lauren and taking them to No.1 in the Melbourne radio ratings.
Credit to Jase & Lauren for their spectacular radio win. No credit to K&J who have bombed in the Victorian capital and turned off the remaining listeners who did tune into their show by broadcasting NSFW content.
You mean keep their 6 listeners
Who work at the Herald Sun and write up the latest comments Kyle makes about Melbourne ![]()
The only thing I’m worried about with them staying on is that they might come back a few weeks later than Kyle & Jackie O and Fifi, Fev & Nick. Lauren mentioned this week that she is going overseas after Christmas.
But perhaps not with the Australian Open, which is obviously a big Melbourne event, and Clint will be working on (and perhaps Lauren too) for Nine.
They did have a longer break for obvious reason’s, so they might be having a shorter break this summer.
It’s really becoming a battle between Nova100 and The Fox.
Fifi, Fev & Nick will be releasing updated podcasts over the holiday period which will help to keep their brand fresh over the break. And obviously a strategy to go head to head with Jase & Lauren remaining on air for longer.
And as usual, KIIS is too busy taking in summer vacay with their oversized budget to care ![]()
Jase and Lauren will broadcast live from Gumbuya World wildlife and theme park, south east of Melbourne, next Thursday morning (December 12). They are giving away 100 family passes which can be won by registering through the Win page on the Nova FM website.
Note: Gumbuya World will open its doors to the rest of the public at 11am that day.
Not sure if anyone has noticed, since the start of this week, if the hosts of Jase and Lauren or a listener say the word Christmas during the show, the producer will play Mariah Carey’s All I Want for Christmas as a “punishment”. This has happened multiple times in every episode.
They’ve done this for years.
The last 2 days I’ve heard them play the song and I’ve had them on only for about 20 mins each time.
Jase & Lauren will be the next Merrick & Rosso and Fitzy & Wippa for the Nova Network. Mark my words. They’re brilliant.
But does the audience need to be punished too. ![]()
I’m only assuming it’ll stop as we get to an acceptable distance from Christmas Day, which is when people should really be starting to celebrate Christmas.
It’s obviously a dig at it being too early to mention it.
Still better than Kyle and Jackie O ![]()
You misspelt rewarded! ![]()
No! I know torture when I hear it. ![]()
Jase and Lauren are only on air for one more week, so then it will stop.
In previous years they played this “game” in November, as a play on it being too early to talk about Christmas. This year they didn’t start it until November 27th, so I’m guessing they/management decided it was too risky in the competitive environment, but ok for survey break.
