agreed. i remember when everything came out of the GC across the network. Do they even have a studio on theGC or do they work from home?
Yes there is a studio on the GC, thatās where Loues does the show from.
Who thought it was a good idea to network an interstate Brekky shoe to another state? At least keep it local and take it from Brisbane.

They probably donāt want to compromise the Brisbane (or other capital city) product to make it more generic/relevant to regional areas given the competition in those areas.

Really? How distasteful. Axing three shows and announcing promotions for higher ups in the same release.

I couldnāt agree more. Especially given it was some of their own talent which got the arse.

This is getting beyond a joke.
If you canāt provide a credible local service, sell the license or get off the air. In most of these areas, they are the only commercial radio game in town and theyāre taking the absolute piss out of it.

Absolutely hopeless. Just network out each states Metro show. Far easier to sell Fifi, Fev & Nick from Melbourne into regional VIC markets for example than what will have to be an uber generic show coming from Newcastle. You canāt cut your way to profit, but at least rationalise more sensibly.

Just when you think they donāt have anymore people left to sack they always seem to find people to give the arse to
Bloody disgrace, SCA has become the arsehole of the radio industry, I sure as hell wouldnāt want to work there, you wouldnāt never know from one day to the next if your given the arse before you have even made your morning coffee

Iāll be the contrarian here. Outside of the Gold Coast and Hobart (which I suspect will hurt badly by not even having a pseudo-local show in breakfast) thereās no reason why this would at all have a ratings impact. Done properly, a network show from Newcastle or Bunbury is in no way different from a network show from Hobart or Perth. Time will tell if itās executed well.
Awful for the those involved, who through no fault of their own are thrown to the side all to save the arse of some jobs in television. Awful too for those āpromotedā who are thrust into additional responsibilities, again through no fault of their own.

Jess and Rohan not on Hobart or Gold Coast this morning.
Youāre right but Iāll be interested to hear the 7HO attack campaign in Hobart.

Disappointing that Hobart, a capital city canāt even have its own breakfast show.
With a new AFL team coming, that leaves one less station giving the new team coverage in prime time through content and activations, huge opportunity missed.
SCA are a joke.

Not yet but only a matter of time.
Exactly SCA are a disgrace hopefully there will be change for the better in the 17 commercial radio markets where they have to sell 17 stations.
