Mandurah’s 97.3 Coast FM announcers seem to be embracing the great Aussie tradition of ‘the sickie’.
While thousands of dedicated employees are at work the day before a public holiday, all of the Coast FM announcers have decided to call in sick.
But fear not! The office staff have stepped in to take their place.
Mel from reception, Steve and Golda from sales, and Jason from IT are delivering talk breaks to the best of their ability to keep the listeners entertained.
Content Director John DeBellis who had to put his business trip in the Margaret River wine region on hold to deal with the situation said he is confident the office staff can get the job done.
“It’s amazing how talented our office staff are,” he said.
“The on-air announcer team should be very concerned.
“I feel it’s very un-Australian to have the day off before Australia Day.”
