Yep. Which seems rather antiquated in this day and age. I liked your example re: WIN earlier. It’s a legacy from a bygone era.
For example, there was a time when the pornography laws were a lot tighter here in QLD, certain movies could not be shown here (eg Last Temptation of Christ in 1988) and there was this idea that QLD was a bit of a ‘bible basher state’. Back then, a complaint against the Nine Network should have only impacted the relevant station, eg QTQ9.
Chad Cornes, I think.
There was a report recently in the Herald Sun about SCA reportedly making a significant offer for Kane and David King to move to Listnr. As such, it wouldn’t be surprising if the announcement was about Kane.
Or/and maybe Selwyn COBbo from the Brisbane Broncos as guest on the NRL version!? 
It is indeed Chad

Bit of an underwhelming promotional stunt from Listnr that has probably not amused many…
Was actually ultra predictable, many had it nutted out in the comments to the initial post
Mark ‘Howie’ Howard and Nathan Brown will call the action as Geelong and Brisbane do battle in Saturday’s decider, joined by four-time Geelong premiership hero Isaac Smith.
Former Brisbane AFLW star Kate McCarthy will offer insight and analysis, while Michael Roberts reports from the boundary and Ash Chua delivers the stats shaping the game.
Triple M goes into party mode on Thursday, 25 September with the inaugural Triple M Fest: a 12-hour live broadcast (6am–6pm) from the Corner Hotel in Richmond.
Fans will see some of Triple M’s biggest shows up close, including Mick in the Morning with Roo, Titus & Rosie, The Midweek Rub with Dale ‘Daisy’ Thomas and Jack Heverin, Lu & Jarch, and The Rush Hour with JB & Billy – with Cats legend Billy Brownless ready to fire up the faithful ahead of Grand Final weekend.
Today was James Brayshaw’s last Rush Hour show for 2025. I assume Daisy Thomas will take his spot for the remainder of the year.
Also, the Rush Hour will just be playing highlights on Fridays for the rest of the year. Live shows Monday to Thursday.
With the NRL season over 2MMM are just straight to music after 4pm.
I tuned in to 2MMM yesterday afternoon and heard Al Dobie back announcing songs, networked from the Gold Coast.
while I find Al to be a terrific operator it’s absolutely embarrassing that Triple M Sydney, the biggest market in Australia, doesn’t have anyone locally to go on air especially in a major slot and has to rely on someone from a regional market to cover.
What’s worse is they don’t actually have any full time on air staff that are daytime announcers besides those anchoring shows and don’t use anyone else within the station to fill or pull a shift on a weekend outside of footy season.
Al Dobie is far cheaper than having a station floater at 2MMM.
I don’t disagree, but that’s radio in 2025. 3MMM has plenty of daytime floaters like Troy Ellis or Matty O that network into 2MMM et al as required too.
Al isn’t even going to air on the Gold Coast just networked into NSW. Plus the fact they have to rely on their regional resources to put someone to air in a drive slot, at a minimum they should be shuffling the decks to put Troy who’s on in the morning to drive and network from 3MMM.
2MMM used to use people from other roles to jump on air during ratings breaks. But it’s made to sound that they run the joint on the smell of an oily rag but then they go out and plug in shows into slots that don’t make a lot of sense on both the Hit and Triple M networks.
I couldn’t disagree more.
Why not use your regional talent to plug holes in the metro networks? It gives talent exposure to different audiences including management.
Isn’t the whole idea of having a larger network to draw on is to utilise talent and technology across the country?
Do you really think anyone cares if a music shift is presented from the Gold Coast or Hobart or Melbourne or Sydney? I suspect its a real ‘mediaspy’ type issue…
Yeah I agree. As long as the announcer is quality, it doesn’t matter if they are on the Gold Coast, especially for a daytime shift like this.
It’s not a shot at Al who is certainly up to the task, one of the best presenters in the country or a shot at the regional network it’s the fact that 2MMM do not have the people in the positions to cover this gap. Or allow the people they have to do so, by giving other staff members in house they kick started some great careers. Instead they took the regional feed.
Maybe I’m out of touch but I think they could be doing more here.
hope they didnt take the regional playlist
It wasn’t the regional playlist, it was a “softer” version of the metro, similar to when a show goes national.
In other news they covered the Bathurst 1000 today and took the tv commentary for the shootout, cutting back to Dan Leach and Greg Rust between cars.
Coverage began at 12 with the shootout at 5 from what I heard was quite good.
I would say (and this is not a criticism of @nzwarrior51 personally) I think there a few realities (in my opinion) going on here…..
Like most national businesses, if you have the technology, and the people why not utilise them. For radio and TV this has worked for network for years pushing metro produced/made content to the regions…..Well played SCA for pushing the regional content into metro areas.
Does the average listener care if content is made in their city or is it a media spy bubble type thing? Don’t SCA push a regional announcer into Adelaide? I think the answer is networks probably don’t see it any more than a media spy type issue. I reckon having a regional announcer on a metro station from the GC rather than Sydney wouldn’t more the ratings dial 1 tiny bit.
