Schedules for radio are being thrown into chaos with a number of high-profile presenters either confirmed COVID-19 cases, or self-isolating because of close contact with the disease.
 
Nine Radio has put Sydney stars Alan Jones and Ray Hadley, and Melbourne duo Ross Stevenson & John Burns into isolation. Hadley and Jones are broadcasting from their respective properties and Ross & John are holed up at Stevenson’s house.

In his return to radio this week, 2GB's Alan Jones visited the bushfire affected areas of of the NSW South Coast to see first hand the dmaage done and the recovery effort that will be needed.

"I have no idea how you manage," Jones said to locals after touring the affected area, getting hugs of thanks from the people he was speaking to.

In a powerful first show for 2020 Jones talked to politicians and affected locals, championing the need for continued support the the victims.

BUSTED NEWS...

Following news that half of Alan Jones' advertisers have abandoned him in the wake of several scandals involving violent language against powerful women, The Chaser has come up with a scheme to try and get the rest of his advertisers to abandon him too.
 

2GB and 4BC’s breakfast presenter Alan Jones will raise awareness of the crippling impact of drought on rural communities with a series of outside broadcasts in Bourke and Dubbo NSW over the next week.

24-year-old Jessica Rouse is no ordinary young woman, she’s an up and coming radio broadcaster from the NSW Hunter Valley who’s been sharing the devastation of the drought with her listeners.
 
Already a two-time ACRA nominee, Jess is a graduate of the University of Newcastle and these days hosts Hunter Valley Today on 2NM in Muswellbrook.
 

Alan Jones has told his listeners that he is growing tired of “corporate hypocrites” as he took aim this morning at Coles for their decision to stop advertising on his program.
 
Jones told his audience:
 
"I can tell my own listeners to give Coles Supermarkets … and their petrol stations a very wide berth. This is a two way street, we can both play the same game. It might be time I entered the ring and started playing that game, and good luck to you by the time I am finished.”
