“They wouldn’t know quality talkback if it bit them on the ear,” was how Ray Hadley described the executives and programmers at Fairfax Radio.
Returning to air today after time away to deal with his family issues, Hadley said reports that he and Alan Jones had scuttled a joint venture deal with Fairfax were wrong.
“No one from this radio network, or Fairfax for that matter, has ever spoken to me about this matter,” he told his listeners.
But if anyone had asked him, we would not have been very complimentary about the leaders of Fairfax Radio. He told his listeners:
“Based on what I’ve witnessed over the past years, I wouldn’t let any of the Fairfax executives near Australia’s most successful station…”
He went on to call them “at best… amateurs; at worst nincompoops.”
