If Hit Network’s Dave Hughes is looking a bit more well dressed lately, it could all be thanks to a recent car accident.
 
Hughesy backed into another car in the narrow streets of South Yarra after a particularly strenuous gym session recently, causing minor damage.
 
That vehicle he ran into was part of the fleet owned by Cotton On clothing company founder, billionaire Nigel Austin.
 

For most successful stations it is the talent on the Breakfast show that commands the largest audience. 

'Father of the Year!'

Of all the many changes at ARN over recent months, the desicion to let Hugesy and Kate go was perhaps the most controversial.

Dave Hughes and Kate Langbroek, along with Meshel Laurie and Matt Tilley, have been cut early from KIIS FM. 

With the sudden departure of Melbourne Content Director Sam Thompson earlier in the week, the rumour mill has gone ballistic about major changes to KIIS. 

Red Nose Day fundraising efforts on June 30 2017 are expected to surpass 2016 results by close to 10% – having raised an anticipated $1.1 million nationally.
 
Red Nose says the milestone is largely due to support from the Australian public, along with that of Red Nose Day’s major partners this year including radio networks and stations, making a significant impact in helping reduce the deaths of nine children a day to zero.

Paul Jackson seems to think so. 

As Group Programme Director for Nova Entertainment, he would say that, wouldn’t he? It’s his network’s Drive team that commands 12.4 per cent of surveyed listeners in the five metro markets with 1,620,700 tuning in every week, according to the latest GFK figures released just last week.

Not that their competitors are slouches but when this three way battle began about two years ago Kate, Tim and Marty were tipped to come third. Instead they’ve consolidated first.
