Radio veteran Jim Ball stands for election in Mackellar.

Ex talk host Jim Ball has been doing the radio rounds to get some last minute leverage during the political advertising blackout where his message is less likely to be drowned out by the main parties. 

2UE has finally made the move to join the rest of its relatively new family, 2GB and 2CH in Pyrmont.

2UE Program Manager, Clinton Maynard told radioinfo, “As planned Paul B, Kidd and myself presented the final program 6am-Midday from 2UE's Greenwich studio today. (Regular co-host) George Moore is sick at the moment, back next week.

2UE has moved from its Greenwich studios in Sydney’s northern suburbs to new premises in Pyrmont, co-located with 2GB and 2CH.

"Commercial aspects are part and parcel of all our programming decisions": Adam Lang

Tucked away in a dark corner of 2GB’s program schedule at 10 pm on Saturday Nights was, until recently, an innocuous little lifestyle show aimed at the caravan, camping and 4WD crowd. And, so that the target audience would be in no doubt as to what the show was about, they called it The Caravan, Camping and 4WD Show.

Through the corridors of 2UE it has pretty much been accepted, for some months now that come the new year the station will have a different format and likely, a different line-up.

It will still be Talk but in a very different style to what it has been over recent years. “We’re the owners of two talk radio stations in Sydney,” says Adam Lang, COO of the recently rebranded MRN, now known as Macquarie Media Limited (MML). “We’ll be adopting a strategy of one complementing the other, not competing head to head.”

One of Australia's best-known food and wine experts, Lyndey Milan OAM, has joined 2UE to present a weekly one-hour program called ‘Fresh’.
 
Milan, who has a 30-year pedigree as a successful cook and presenter, joins Clinton Maynard's ‘Lunchtime Lowdown’ program each Thursday from 2.00pm to 3.00pm to present Fresh with Lyndey Milan.
