Good to see a station shifting younger for a change. Hopefully the music will reflect too.

It’s a great promotion.
Finally Matt, Sarah and Tom are in the advertising.
I think it’s time for a name change. The show hasn’t been “Fitzy and Wippa” for years.

For the first time, the Fitzy & Wippa creative will feature the broader on-air team, Matt De Groot (News Journalist), Sarah McGilvray and Executive Producer Tom Ivey , to visually represent the team you hear when tuning into the show.
But are they on the same money as two named team members?

Is Deano? Although isn’t on imaging? I wonder if Byron is on Fox now he is part of the core team?

The only ones I consider random are The Black Eyed Peas in that commercial. It’s a shame the promotions have moved to including mouldy oldies. The rest are relevant.

Paul is now PD and marketing head. Imagine how much better radio would be if people devoted themselves to dedicated roles instead of spreading themselves more thinly every year.

Just happened to discover on Smallzys Surgery that they are now doing a “Top 9 at 9” …
Is this new? Very 90s idea if so. I thought stations had mostly moved away from nightly countdowns in the last few years.

Pretty sure they’ve been doing that for many years, if not, since the beginning of his show.
