Fairfax Radio Network has  launched its latest suite of iPhone apps for Sydney’s 2UE, Melbourne’s 3AW and Magic 1278, Brisbane’s 4BC and Magic 882 and Perth’s 6PR. The app update was pushed out overnight to tablets and smart phones.

2UE has announced changes to its morning and afternoon programs.

Popular 2UE Weekend Breakfast and Your Business Day presenter Stuart Bocking (pictured) will move back to the weekday Morning show timeslot.

Morning presenter Angela Catterns will move to Afternoons.

Afternoon presenters Ian ‘Dicko’ Dickson and Sarah Morice will leave the station.

At a 2UE  staff meeting yesterday, general manager Chris Parker foreshadowed some changes, which we may be able to reveal on radioinfo as early as tomorrow.

Parker confirmed that he met with news staff on Tuesday, but declined further comment at this time until the changes are ready to be announced.

Can this pair sans hair make a dent in the Sydney Breakfast market?

A few weeks ago, we brought you Part One of our lively little chat with John Stanley and Garry Linnell, 2UE’s latest assault on Sydney’s breakfast talk arena. Whether these latest warriors of the airwaves can even land a punch on 2GB’s Alan Jones who occupies the lion’s share of the arena is yet to be seen.

Harsh words apply blow torch to bellies of Fairfax and SCA management. Comment from Peter Saxon.
 
“Well ‘Olympus Has Fallen’! No real surprise to those who are keen and informed students of surveys and programming,” writes Mike the Influencer in the radioinfo comments section. “3AW has been on the slide for 2 years and everyone has been in denial about it. Funny that would be about the same time a new FRN head honcho came in.”
 

Senior media executive Tony Wilkinson is the new Fairfax Radio Sydney Sales Director, working across 2UE and the Fairfax Radio Network.

NAB has become the first sponsor of Sydney News Talk station 2UE’s new Breakfast program with John Stanley and Garry Linnell.

NAB’s partnership with 2UE Breakfast consists of live program integration, recorded credits throughout the program and partnership promotional pointers across all programs reinforcing the key NAB Business Banking message of  “NAB -  if you’re ready for more, they’re ready for you” and “NAB - more give less take”.

The expected parole of convicted drug smuggler Schapelle Corby has created a media circus in Bali.

It's expected that details of her parole will be confirmed today, and that she could be released from prison sometime over the weekend or on Monday.

There has been a frenzy of media activity outside Kerobokan, with all major Radio, TV and Newspaper networks having people on the ground to cover the story.

One of the networks to cover it is Fairfax Radio Network, with 2UE sending reporter Derek Peterson to Bali to cover her release.
