It would be wrong of me to speculate on the real reasons including politics, issues with activists and advertisers and contract issues, why anyone leaves an organisation.
As a consumer of spoken word programs, especially on 2GB, I fail to understand the reasons when there is something that has been working why "fix" it.
In less than a year, Alan Jones, Chris Smith, Steve Price as well as Andrew Bolt with Steve Price left.
The same goes with Money News' Ross Greenwood. Ross's program was the AFR equivalent on radio.
It was a comprehensive, informative and entertaining program on economics and business. Executives, economists, members of parliament and regular chats with Harold Mitchell made for an imformativevand entertaining show.
This is not a criticism of the current presenters on the station. John Stanley and Ray Hadley continue to be market leaders in their slot.
Nevertheless, to fix something that isn't broken is risky. In this case, changes may have resulted in reduced ratings in the afternoon programs.
Thank you
