Never gets old after all this time!

This can’t be viewed as a bad thing? Surely?

It hasn’t been for a long time with the Camplins as owners. Bfast, drive and not much else, save for Saturday mornings, very meagre.

And there’s hardly anyone live on Sundays at 2BS, but still, it’s better than the Super Network feed.

Dead air would be better than the 2SM network dross. The most boredom inducing topics, hosts and producers (if any) who don’t know when to end calls or more likely have no other callers.

The AFL coverage on SRN’s regional stations is woeful

I tuned in to listen to the Swans/Giants on Saturday only to find it was Bombers/Power

Looking at the AFL Nation games, 2SM was supposed to get Bombers/Power and Swans/Giants was on regional nsw

Bombers/Power went out to the regional AMs? Sloppy

Life as usual for Caralis. Realistic expectations required, he’s been letting Australians down for over 20 yrs now.

What a refreshingly honest positioner, they should adopt this on air

2SM should really take an automated music shift while the network (from 2HD) takes the AFL calls.

Bill avoids paying royalties (and some former staff would say anyone) at all costs!

Exactly, hence why there’s barely any music on the AM network.

Dear Whoever Picks The Music On BOG FM Stations,

If you want to learn how to do a killer balanced 80s to now music format, listen right now to 2DayFM.

It’s not quite JackFM. It’s real variety with a meaning & purpose.

I agree. Wish they’d roll out 2day to Brisbane

The Radio Green Room on Facebook reporting that Tim Shaw is leaving 2CC Drive to be replaced by Leon Delaney (Laws’ replacement).

My guess is we’ll now get even more average BOG announcers filling in when Laws is away.

Leon was their “most with it” for that time slot.

Any idea who (if any) will fill in moving forward? For Laws’ slot Bill should actually invest in a semi decent fill in.

Knowing Caralis, it’ll probably just be Dave Sutherland pulling a 7hr shift, or Pete Davis.

Or perhaps Scott Mayman for six hours following his Radio 97 bfast shift. Former metro news director with overseas exp in radio and TV, he’s good at what he does.

I feel sorry for Leon, he’s been underused, Bill to his credit has kept him on at Tweed Heads South as journo, voicetalent and other duties.

I forgot about Scott. He would be good.

As for Leon, I was surprised he stuck around this long following Laws’ arrival. Leon was the regular 9-12 announcer before Laws moved to SM.

Can you imagine Graeme Gilbert with a special morning edition of The Help Line? (And I say this as the one person on here who actually enjoys listening to Graeme, but definitely not in the morning)

It’d be great if Dean Mackin filled in for Laws. He’s definitely capable and doesn’t shy away from covering the newsy topics of the day, but I think he has his own business to run which would make it hard to be on-call at five minutes notice every day.

Is that the one where every man and their dog needs help with their India?

And he’s a top bloke too.
