After tallying the top spenders in Breakfast from AirCheck Ad Revenue estimates, the Victorian Government took out the top spot with their ‘Stay Safe, Stay Open’ Campaign.

Approximately $446,000 was spent placing a mix of 15 and 30 second spots across 48 stations in 10 markets nationwide.

The most commercials in this push were placed on Nova and smooth in Melbourne, with 72 and 61 spots respectively between 6am and 9am.

News Talk 6PR 882 has unveiled a new and refreshed 2021 on-air lineup for the leading Perth talk station, announcing that popular Mornings host Gareth Parker will move to the key Breakfast shift.
 
A reshuffle was expected after Basil Zempalis announced that he would be quitting the station at the end of the year.
 

A change.org petition has been started to have 6PR breakfast co-host, and new Perth Mayor, Basil Zempalis, removed from office, just two weeks after being elected.

6PR breakfast co-host Basil Zempilas will leave the station next month after a directive from his main employer Seven West Media.

After its sale by Macquarie Media, 6PR is now owned by Seven's rival, Nine Entertainment, resulting in a conflict for Zempalis.

Basil Zempilas is also standing for the position of Perth Mayor, which would give him an additional workload and a possible conflict of interest with a news/talk station, if he wins the position in this weekend's election.

Nine is simplifying the media buying process for its radio assets using 9Galaxy, with the platform to offer access to radio inventory from November 1.

The West Australian is reporting (subscription required) that Basil Zempilas says he will walk away from talkback radio at the end of the year if he is successful in his City of Perth mayoral bid.
 

This week Mark ‘Smiley’ Pascoe celebrated the incredible milestone of 30 years in Perth radio.
