Do we think Kate Ritchie will return to Nova at some stage?
Iâd assume she needs the money and Nova donât seem to want to drop her even after many many absences over the years.

I quite like both previous & present Hit Network logos.
The previous H! was more impactful & cheeky. In fact, the previous H! logo would better suit the current 2Day1041 format than the present logo.
The most brilliant thing of the current Hit Network logo, is it also passes (slightly to some) as a form of âMâ logo, so it also suits Mix94.5. Sadly, it means nothing to The Fox, SAFM and B105 (but it could pass as a musical wavelength of some kind).
Itâs always a challenge to make a âletterâ speak for an entire network, when each station has a different name. Mind you, Iâd still prefer a âHâ logo than blow-up lips for a network.
This is where NovaFM had the best with Novaboy. They really couldâve gotten away with any brand/name.
Triple M could also do the same if they wanted to - just have Dr. Dan beside ANY Triple M network station (e.g. have Dr. Dan beside a Gold92.5 or 2GO logo, etc).

KGS this morning. âYOLO but also play it safe. Donât think just NOVA.â
Really not sure what theyâre getting at here. Whatâs the USP? SMP? Who knows.
Play it safe with playlists?

I listened to Nova96.9 this morning.
Definitely still the same, bland, attitude-less station.

And theyâre still persisting with throwbacks at the expense of newer music from emerging artists.

We actually need 2day fm to do well to shake Nova 969 out of their Throwbacks.
But Nova entertainment program the music for the network not individually stations.

I really find this campaign ugly.
Itâs hard to read and like others have said whatâs the call to action? It doesnât have much to back it up in terms of making people listen.
Itâs also really hard to read the messaging with the graffiti over the top

I completely agree, I think this is the only way they can counter the relaunch of 2day to make Nova look cool and edgy again.
with their networking across workdays and weekends they cannot counter individual stations. They cannot compete effectively against KIIS 1065, and if 2day fm smash them in the demographics they are out of options.
They would need to put in a dedicated log for Sydney and dedicated Sydney daytime DJâs something that hasnât happened in over a decade.

Heard Dave Cameron say 2MMM beats Nova workday. So Nova do really need to look hard at their 9-4.
I remember Marty making a joke about Chrissie having the most listeners or something at one point? Doesnât she do okay?
Just checked the numbers, Dave Cameronâs correct when it comes to share %.

I think nova should have learnt from the mishaps of ARN over the last 12 months that your advertising needs to align with your product - which nova actually had before with their old personality based OOH advertising.
I donât get what âdonât think just novaâ is meant to mean.. 2day AF sure itâs a bit naff but it gets the point across that their playlist reflects todayâs new music more than it used to.
