About time. Considering 2Day and KIIS have new studios.

20 Years apparently, a good run but it did look super dated. Apparently following the trend of monitors everywhere.

That looks like Studio 1 at 2SM

Just needs the RSL style pattern Axminster carpet up the walls and pillars.
They will need more than the vacuum in Smallzy’s photo to tidy that up.

Melbournes studios also look super dated from what I’ve seen.

Smallzy on air this morning instead of Fitzy, Wippa and Sarah because Richard Wilkins was in the studio with them last week and he has coronavirus. He said it’s a precautionary measure and they should be back on air tomorrow.
ETA: He said they’ll be getting tested today and plan to be doing the show from their homes tomorrow (which should be fun).

Ray Hadley said on his show this morning that he is in isolation too (broadcasting from home)
Fitzy & Wippa came into his studio on Wednesday unannounced and because they had contact with Richard Wilkins it has put Ray into look down too.
Ray said it is precautionary, he did not say if he had been tested for covid19.
Smallyz is doing 9 hours today
6-9, 12-3 and 7-10. I wonder if they will voice track his show for tonight or will that not be possible with the other studio being renovated?

With Angela Bishop also in isolation, Dickie might be a super spreader.

He has three hours between shifts so maybe could do it from smooth if they have a spare studio.

They should get DC to do 9-3 allowing Smallzy the day off and to be on at 7pm.

Fitzy, Wippa, Sarah McGilvray and Matt de Groote doing the show from their homes today.
They’ve been tested but don’t get the results until Wednesday night. Sarah says she is showing some symptoms, the rest not. It was also revealed she recorded her own show after they did the segment with Richard Wilkins and Angela Bishop and she had used the microphone Richard had used.

Corona tests results were revealed today. Tom Ivey, Sarah McGilvray and Ryan ‘Fitzy’ Fitzgerald tested negative. Wippa didn’t have his results yet.
They spoke to Richard Wilkins because he was the suspected super spreader and it was good that they managed to keep it very light-hearted. Richard said he met with Rita Wilson at Channel 9 before she appeared on Today Extra. But he also hung out with her and Tom Hanks after her show at the Opera House. He said he knows of three other people at that party who have also tested positive for coronavirus, so he believes that’s where he caught it.
