While in Covid19 lockdown, retired regional radio identity Colin Cameron has been cleaning out his ‘man cave’ and reflecting on his career.

Livinia Nixon will host the breakfast shift on Nine’s recently launched music stations from Saturday, July 4 and Sunday, July 5.

Nine Radio has wasted no time in beginning recruitment for traffic reporters in Sydney and Brisbane.

Mark Neely has called time on 40 years in radio and radio audience measurement.
 
He had initially planned to retire on June 30 this year, but when the COVID-19 pandemic shut down the research industry, he brought the date forward and retired as of 31^st March.
 
Mark joined WIN Television in 1980 as Agency client service executive, working out of the North Sydney office, and joined AGB McNair Anderson in 1986, taking responsibility for servicing the radio station clients and the ad agencies a year later.

Ben Fordham has been named as the new host of 2GB’s breakfast program replacing legendary broadcaster Alan Jones, who this morning announced his retirement following advice from his doctors.

4BC Brisbane is likely to get its own local breakfast show.

Stevie Jacobs is returning to radio as the breakfast host on Nine’s newly launched music stations 2UE 954, Magic 1278, 4BH 882 and 6GT DAB+.

After Nine Radio recently revived the 2UE, Magic 1278 and 4BH brands, AirCheck Australia has analysed the playlist crossovers in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.

In Sydney, 2UE and WSFM shared the greatest crossover, sharing almost a third of their playlists, though 2UE played a wider range of music, spinning 142 tracks more than WSFM.
 
The most played track across the two stations was ‘And We Danced’ by The Hooters, earning 46 spins.

2UE dropped its Macquarie Sports Radio format at the beginning of this week and is transitioning to a new music format through a 'soft launch,' as explained to radioinfo a couple of weeks ago.

radioinfo readers who have been listening to the station report that this first week has not been smooth. As the station dropped its live announcers and switched to automation it has been beset with technical glitches.
