Perth and Adelaide have the same CD, Sydney, Melbourne the same.
Irene is based in Melbourne and head of music for the group so I am assume she is now doing one log for the whole east coast from what we have seen so far.

Not sure if it has been mentioned. When Kate, Tim and Marty returns for 2020 next Monday (January 20), they will start one hour earlier at 3pm. Heard a short promo on my way to work this morning.

About time they worked more than two hours a day. :stuck_out_tongue:

I thought this might happen.

I also think the breakfast shows might be doing 6-10am too now following Ben and Liam in Adelaide but we will see about that.

Got to compete with 3 o clock pickup, and Tommy and Carrie.

That seems too much. I think three hours is a good length to keep the quality of the show up.

That also allows for two daytime shifts of the same length 9-12 and 12-3.

They should extend F&W to 10am too, KJO run each day to 10am or later.
Would make it a bit hard to fit two other shows in between 10am-3pm.
I wonder if Smallyz will eventually get networked to Melbourne and Brisbane considering they all now run from the same log?

I’m wondering if its actually going to happen.

Im thinking itll be:
6-10 Fitzy and Wippa
10-3 Smallzy
3-6pm Kate, Tim and Marty

5 hours of Smallzy and three more at night? I don’t think so. He already mentioned last year that the extra hours was all starting to catch up with him and he got sick.

If anything, he’ll probably get a shortened two hours and then pre-record the nighttime show so he doesn’t burn out.

I’m shocked Marty agreed to an extra hour, amazed it isn’t highlights

What do you mean? Since doing day time his night show hasn’t been live. He was pre recording nights after his morning show. So he probably has been working a normal day last year. 8am til 4 ish.

Yes, I believe most of the late shows were pre-recorded.

Correct it is pre-recorded, he will only do it live if he has a special interview lined up, or special guest on the show from what I read.

Whatever happens it’ll be very interesting to see how things go.

Surely management pressured them into, they need to get drive back to #1 to prop up the ratings of the Nova network.
