I heard RnB Friday on 2Day last week, really well done! Spinderella and Zhane special guest presenters really added credibility and style to the tunes. Great radio :) |

Two points: (1) 3MP (music 1970s to 2010) to MTR (talk 2010-2012) to Classic Rock (music 2012 - 2018) to SEN+ (talk - 2019). Have the powers that be at SEN done enough market research to support a third sport talk format especially when 3MP has skipped from music to talk to music and talk and where public expectations of 3MP have been towards a music station? The owners of 3MP will have to invest money into changing peoples' perception of the 3MP such that the 3MP is committed to an additional sports format and no longer a music format (classic rock). (2) While SEN is Melbourne's market leader (3.0+) compared to MSR (0.4), assuming the owners of 3MP have got it right will it create a barrier to entry or moreover succession to MSR? As with point (1), time will tell. But given the flip-flop nature of 3MP's format and the labour-intensive nature of a talk format will there be enough funds either by providing cash or by SEN+ being a self-sustaining service. Time will tell depending on whether customers will support a third talking sport station. Regards Anthony of exciting Belfield |

Having heard a podcast (google search terms: game changers radio episode 45 kyle ) on his life and what makes him 'tick', I would like to see a biography about how he visualised getting out of rut, gave himself direction and how with confidence was able to negotiate a lucrative contract. Such a book could help others who may be facing tough times. Regards Anthony of Belfield |

Mike Carlton's stints also included 2GB in the late 1970s. He was promoted with Mike Gibson (RIP) as "In the know radio....Mike-to-Mike...back-to-back...cheek-to-cheek...." it also included taking 2GB to the top of the ratings when it launched as a "News Talk" format in 1982.

A wonderful tribute to a legendary programmer and manager. This article really demonstrates wonderfully that Ray Bean was recognised as a 'Hall of Famer' in the industry by everyone he worked with. What a pity it's never been made official. RIP Ray Bean. | Vale Ray Bean |

Another great piece from Peter Saxon - soulful, thought-provoking and balanced. Mental health is such an enormous scourge in our society and I do not know of a single person who has not been affected by it, either directly or indirectly. Blessings to all those who are suffering and know that you are not alone and there is love and support out there. | How a screwdriver could solve Ray's problem |

Another ill considered decision from SCA. By their own making, erasing decades of brand value and goodwill from two large, competitive markets. The Triple M brand we know began in the 80's, based on male skewed rock format stations in four eastern major metro markets. KO and TO both began in 1931, dominant stations in both markets and with huge brand recognition. Being smaller markets, neither station runs a metro Triple M format. There is the failure of erasing decades of brand value for a name that doesn't match the format, audience or type of station in Newcastle or Townsville. SCA have their head in the sand, they have no choice but to back their silly decision. Locals and clients in markets that have already lost their local brand look at it with mirth and scepticism. As a shareholder, I'm disgusted. It may be attractive to beancounters in Sydney and Melbourne and agencies who employ incompetent staff who don't understand what regional station fits their sell; this doesn't mean local brands should be erased. One thing's for certain, Pricey has seen many an owner and management come and go with many a hare brained idea. Can only hope his career outlives SCA's poor custodianship of 4TO. |
