The weirdest thing is that they did correctly name the station seconds later!
I mean, it’s not like Nova has a 96.9 frequency on their network, right? …Right?

So Ash had a dig at the decision live on air?
What happened to announcers leaving quietly and professionally? First KIIS97.3 brekkie, now this.
Would you do that if you are part of the highest-rated show in the daypart you work in, the station attracted a hefty sum from advertisers as a result, and then you are dragged into a meeting to be told you have no useful service to them anymore?
(Considering one of your workmates have not been told any changes were coming, while we are at it.)
Think about it.

Well Perth brekky hasn’t featured Nathan since the start of the year despite still being referred to as Nathan, Nat & Shaun. I wonder if Joel Creasey or Ross will become a permanent host and the show has a rebrand in 2026, I doubt Nathan will return to radio as there has been no update about whether or not he’s returning and the information provided about any issues have been sparse.
What’s to think about?
They are all being extremely unprofessional. I understand they’re full of emotion, however, the behaviour of these stars is definitely questionable and other networks are watching. Any potential possibilities elsewhere dwindle with such behaviour.

Maybe it’s unprofessional but I can’t imagine personally being able to just carry on “professionally” without having to pretend I wasn’t deeply affected by something that sudden happening to me.
We should also look at the fact that a lot of these radio networks still act like it’s the cut throat radio is king era behind the scenes, and continue to treat quality talent like trash.
It goes both ways. Given how he was gaslit throughout the year by the company about his security, it’s not the worst response to have.
Media Industry gets away with a lot

Is there a reason Nova have now seemed to start DJ mashups with a DJ I couldn’t catch the name of.
It’s the same on Hit, Nova and KIIS now. Thank god for Triple M & community

Come on, of course Luttsy knew, many have known for a long time. The departure of Nick from Newcastle confirmed the poorly kept secret. At least Ash was able to somewhat dictate how he would depart. Not all take the Robin Bailey option.
Is it with Scudda? Cross-promoting NovaNation radio show & DAB+ I’d say.
Yeah.
Very “DJ Konski Mashup” from Hit, I can’t lie
Fitzy and Wippa talked about attending a photo shoot yesterday for next year. Gave the impression that nothing is changing but their photos are being updated.

Update photo for drive??? If the rumours are correct
I’d say there’s a bit of change happening for Nova but maybe talent will stay under the umbrella
24 years today since Nova 100 launched.

So 24 years since Melbourne has had a new commercial radio station.

Ah yes. My mistake. Still 20 years is a long time protecting the incumbents.

It really is a VERY long time to protect incumbents. Not even any new operators on DAB, let alone AM/FM.
If you think about it, it’s the longest time we’ve gone without new FM stations since the start of commercial FM in 1980
