Bob Miller hits the ground at 2UE

Bob Miller will not only be getting 2UE up and running  at full stream but will be looking for a second radio license to run with 2UE. Whether it is AM or FM there is no doubt this will be a priority in 2004.

2UE on the move?

Is 2UE still making the move to the same building as Macquarie and Nova?

New FM up for grabs

The next Sydney FM auction will be one of the tightest contested battles  seen and ironically one of the last analogue licenses issued. Foxtel has weighed into the digital revolution and it gets more interesting from here, read Mark Day's Media here

I Lost My Heart To RRR

Their calling it I Lost My Heart To RRR and it all happens this coming weekend. Undoubtedly RRR over the last 20 years has  provided the medium with vast amounts of talent that have gone on to all forms of  commercial success. more

Sadly one partnership that will be missing from the RRR retro feast is that of the team of Laywers Guns and Money. Plucked from RRR in the late 80's by 3AK, the team of Denis Connell (Donohue) and Ross Campbell (Stevenson) went on to host 3AW breakfast together. Connell was sacked by 3AW program director Steve Price and the rest is history, no more Lawyers, Guns and Money but plenty of lawyers and money, thankfully no weapons in sight other than the odd knife in the back.

Josh Francou to Triple M

Rumoured that Triple M are talking to injured Port Adelaide AFL player Josh Francou. Word is it is a done deal!

Southern Cross news moves?

Southern Cross News - What has  happened to Aaron Young? Has he been "flung"? Andrea Edwards debuted in the old 5am Ron Burke spot today and
encountered a few problems. Early morning nerves?

Paul Makin in for Byner

Paul Makin who  is filling in for Leon Byner at Fiveaa is certainly doing a great job . Makin a television and radio veteran of over forty years had more or less just handed the reigns back to Leon Byner after Makin's summer fill in when Fiveaa suspended Byner. Makin is well liked by the Fiveaa audience and could prove a worthy full-time replacement. Paul is also  fondly remembered for hosting  3UZ's Newsbeat from 1980 to 1984. ' And that was the night in our city '

AW presenters getting on

With Derryn Hinch turning 60 today surely 3AW have a group of presenters that hold some sort of record for the number of hours worked on air. Without including the morning 'boys', just the combined age of the following is amazing - 311 years young. Ernie Sigley 65, Phil Brady nudging 65, Bruce Mansfield clocking up the big 60 in April, Hinch just gone 60 and Keith Mcgowan heading towards 61.

Rove live on Fridays

Rove Live will be heard on Fridays at 10am and no longer Saturdays across the Austereo Today Network.

Magic dead - no way

The term Magic RIP was mentioned in the Herald-Sun Eye column last week. It was in reference to most of the artists  played on   Magic 693's being deceased! One longtime radio man was heard to bark back 'well at least their listeners aren't dead, um brain dead that is!' (read FM LISTENERS)

Moves at Sea FM Whitsunday

Former Sea FM Whitsunday on air and promo guy Tom Coull has "returned home" to DMG's Mackay & the Whitsundays Hot FM and 4MK after a two year stint at Sea. Tom will be delivering the popular What's Cool in the Whitsundays segment every morning on Hot with long running breakfast crew - Meech & Teegs - along with other on air duties.

SEN local weekends overnight.

SEN returned to Talk Sports at midnight. Expect a local weekend overnight program this weekend with Talk Sport returning midnight Tuesday.

SEN Talk Sport, oops

SEN this evening went to their live UK feed an hour earlier tonight only to pull the plug minutes later when they realized prior to 1.00pm (UK time) Talk Sport were talking politics. The (UK) morning program takes general talk back under the guise of Talk-Talk

Kissed and made up?

Kissed and made up? What many are calling the radio beat up of the year seemed resolved on 3AW's drive program today! Rex and Derryn together again after Rex stood out last week over Derryn's well publicized reporting of David Hookes death.

Stereo 974 new 4wd program

Four Wheel Drive devotees can look forward to a new radio show in the next couple of weeks. Stereo 974 has announced Peter Dywer will host the show on a Saturday morning between 10am & 11am. Peter was part of the former 3AK  4WD program hosted by Glenn Knight.

ABA delay Byner decision

Interesting that the ABA have deferred any decision to investigate suspended FIVEAA presenter Leon Byner.

SEN take UK's Talk Sport

As the SEN overnight team do their last overnight show, can we expect to see them slotted  into the format? Further to new SEN's overnight program, they will be taking a live feed of the UK's Talk Sport, amazingly the UK's number 1 commercial radio station. The link to their site is here
