Obviously prerecorded as it’ll be available as a podcast before it’s 6-7pm airing, plus he has sports presenting duties at 10 News First Perth.

As soon as lockdown being imposed in Victoria Triple M Melbourne (and I presume its regional Victorian stations too) has announced a ā€œLockdown 200ā€ countdown from Monday.

I love that Troy Ellis back announces the songs by artist and title. Seems this is rarely done these days which is disappointing. Sue Gudinski would be so happy!

No sign of Luke Bona on Regional WA or Sydney MMM, anyone know what’s happening?

He’s not on anywhere, I’m guessing no replacement could be called in if he’s sick

Luke is back on this morning :slight_smile:

Yes he was off last night as he bored even himself to sleep. It’s a terrible show, random calls about random topics with him dragging out conversations with callers with little to not interest. Play music.

This might sound too 90s/00s, but since Triple M broadcasts in most places of Australia… Bring back ā€˜The Big Rig Gig’ or something similar where Truckies and night shift workers request rock songs as well getting all the information what is going on our roads and anything that is going on in the Trucking industry.

I’d prefer it if truck drivers aren’t pulling their phones out whilst driving a huge vehicle in the middle of the night to ring up a radio station. :stuck_out_tongue:

Haven’t you heard of Bluetooth or hands free kits? Widely available now and cheap.

As long as it’s set up and ready to go before truck drivers hit the roads…last thing we need is them fidgeting around setting up Bluetooth in the middle of the night on an unlit road.

A lot of people enjoy the show, it’s very popular. Playing music becomes so monotonous. There’s plenty of other options nowadays

There’s more than enough mindless talk and chatter in almost every other Triple M timeslot that hearing just music would be quite refreshing!

I prefer a music focused show with an announcer who doesn’t talk too much but might discuss the music and some current events, but not too much. Can’t stand all the talk on Triple M, it seems mindless to me.

Oh there’s too much talk on there, can’t argue with that. Out of 24 hours 16 of them are shows.
In saying that though for radio to remain relevant it needs to be live, engaging content. (I was about to say local haha).
There is definitely a few things I’d be removing if the schedule, repeats of Melbourne breakfast would be the first, but I really enjoy Luke’s show, I think it’s really good especially working night shifts a week every month.
