Dave Hughes and Marty Sheargold talk to Peter Saxon

On Monday SCA launches two big breakfast shows that could change its fortunes – hopefully for the better.
 
After seven years of bad luck in trying about as many breakfast shows to replace the listeners that “you know who took to you know where,” 2Day-FM  is ready to fire what looks to be its best shot yet with a solid trio of established radio talent in Dave Hughes, (centre) Ed Kavalee and Erin Molan.

2GB's website reports that the MacRadio and Channel 9 sports presenter, Erin Molan, has been forced to take time off work after she broke her arm bone entirely off from her shoulder.

Erin was fetching a bottle for her 16-month-old daughter when she fell down the stairs in her home, leaving her in Prince of Wales Hospital for ten days.

Mumbrella360 is just 3 weeks away and Nova’s Kate Ritchie, WSFM’s Amanda Keller, 2GB’s Erin Molan and 2Day FM’s Ash London will take to the stage at the conference to discuss women in media, their personal experiences and their take on the industry in a session hosted by Nova CEO Cathy O’Connor.
 

Our original headline was: History was made on 2GB on Sunday - maybe

Longtime 2GB Major shareholder John Singleton has, for an equally long time, lamented that his number one station was not given the share of advertising it deserved because ad buying agencies were populated with young people who preferred FM.
 
AM Radio may not be cutting edge technology but MacRadio’s online presence certainly is - as is its production values.  All that was showcased at MacRadio’s Big Six initiative, launched to a large gathering of agency types at The Star yesterday afternoon. 
 

Comment from Peter Saxon

“The male female thing was in my own head really. When I started working in the comedy field I had imposter syndrome and would defer always to the male ego. I am only now getting better at that.”
 
That’s WSFM breakfast announcer Amanda Keller, who has spoken about the role of women on-air at Radio Alive 2017.
