So true. It's going to be interesting to watch. Revenue is crucial
I've go to say other than the morning Show with John and Garry, as for the rest it's pretty poor, It's just listening to one constant add, People won't listen and ratings will show this....
Talking Lifestyle? More like life support. Quality announcers like Luke Bona and Tim Webster have been reduced to link men for a procession of boring segments and Mike Jeffreys is gone - Madness! The only glue holding the station together is the George and Paul Show. How long will this farce last?
Well said Peter. Another unwritten rule is that it's better to be profitable and third than unprofitable and second or first. So I woke to John and Garry, and noticed the new branding. But I'm likely to be less part of the demo for the rest of the format. Unfortunately, there's nowhere else to go - Amythst has nailed it. While I'm here... not good on the graphics 2UE. How did we get the format "04:00pm"? Yipes. Someone find the AP style manual, and quickly.
Talking Lifestyle has killed off my listening! I'll still tune in for John and Garry in the morning, and George and Paul weekends.......but these "infomercial" blocks of monotony have NOTHING to do with Talkback radio, which is all about what's happening in the world at the moment. To have to listen to 2hrs of travel (and don't get me wrong, I love travel and traveling) and listen to people talk about their trips to help fill in time.....is agonising!
How absolutely boring! I'm sorry 2ue.......but if you don't like listening to music, people usually tune in to talkback as a way of keeping up with what's going in the world and current affairs - not blocks of advertising!
I note they have won the AFL rights for Sydney/GWS AFL games from next year as part of the 3AW Fairfax consortium so there are commercial opportunities (some niche) for prime AM radio real estate on Sydney radio
I have supported 2UE over the many changes for years but this one has me beat. Apart from John & Garry and George & Paul I have to switch stations. It is just so boring, I can't listen to things I am not interested in. Interesting that I posted a comment on their Facebook page and they have deleted it!
