It’s the laziest talkback I’ve ever heard. He gave Mike Fitzpatrick a job at B Rock, they’ve been mates ever since. This is a personal indulgence and a good way to save on overnight music licensing. ---

> [@TVHead](#): > > can’t imagine his pay and a producers is cheaper See above, personal indulgence + it’s also a good way to generate content for the network, activate the overnight hours instead of automated music, provide a point of connection for the audience. ---

I’m personally not against the idea of a live overnight program on Triple M with an announcer that even takes callers for music requests and the like. But talkback? Can’t we leave that type of thing to commercial AM stations (in metro markets) and the ABC? ---

Can’t we leave that type of thing to commercial AM stations (in metro markets) and the ABC? Yep exactly. Overnight announcers on Absolute Radio and BBC Radio 2 engage with callers mainly about the music and music-related topics. They take callers occasionally without being like an AM talkback station. BBC 2 in particular read out texts in the early hours from listeners doing deliveries and long road trips etc. But it’s still music focused, the music isn’t just a filler, they carefully select the music and actually discuss it. They also have news bulletins (even on stations like Magic and Smooth UK) ---

Dom Knight on Monday morning didn’t sound too good and Adam Shand fell through. Strange to hear Luke mention him last week, wondered why a senior journo would want to fill in on talkback. ---
