Triple M has launched a new national early drive show, Lu & Jarch, hosted by Luisa Dal Din and Jack Archdale, which begins airing today, Tuesday 10 June. The program will broadcast weekdays from 2pm to 4pm across the Triple M network, expanding the station’s comedy and lifestyle content offering.
Have Triple M wound back to one workday announcer now?
EDIT: I listened to briefly across the day:
Sydney: Has Troy Ellis in the morning and Josh Olek from 12. (No local workdays which is horrific for Australia’s biggest city but anyway).
Brisbane: Had Josh Olek in the morning not sure if he went the full day.
Newcastle: Had JR until at least 1 didn’t hear after that.
If only they would give us schedules….
I highly doubt a 2 workday announcer schedule will continue on Triple M and I wouldn’t be shocked if they follow other networks and network that as well.
Is the feeling that Lou and Jarch will move to drive after the football seasons finish?
Solid start to Lu and Jarch this week. Some genuinely funny content. 8/10 for me.
Newy has JR and Sarah but they are all over the place with schedule and times. It’s usually JR 9-12 and Sarah 12-2. Tanya and Steve finish at 9, all other regional brekkies go to 10. A good lesson for those who have contracts - make sure you work as few hours as possible.
I heard Better Man - Robbie Williams on Triple M Melbourne today. I hadn’t listened for a while but it really stood out as being out of place. Have Triple M been slipping in some softer tracks lately or was it just a one off?
Last week on “Nights with Dave Gleeson,” I did hear Robbie Williams’ new rock based song “Rocket” featuring Tony Iommi from Black Sabbath. So these are most of the rare times MMM metros have played Williams’ discography outside of the networked countdowns (with “Let Me Entertain You” appearing in last month’s Election countdown).
Funnily enough, i did hear “What You Waiting For” by Gwen Stefani on Lu and Jarch via Triple M Newcastle 102.9 (and possibly metro), also one of the extremely rare occurrences of playing Stefani’s solo discography as MMM solely plays her music from No Doubt.
