It goes without saying that if Merrick & Rosso got back together, they'd be in one hell of a good negotiating position.

Radio networks, in particular Southern Cross Austereo (SCA) and the Australian Radio Network (ARN), have been busily lining up their chess pieces for a very serious game of Who Can Win The Survey Across The Board next year.

Look around. Are you enjoying your cushy radio studio with it's walls and floors and roof?

KIIS/Mix Drive host Tim ‘Rosso’ Ross and his mate, Channel 7’s Tom Williams have done an exclusive photoshoot with their newest additions for children’s fashion blog Captain and the Gypsy Kid.

The pics show Rosso and his wife Michelle Glew-Ross with new son Bobby and Tom with his daughter Storm and wife Rachel Gilbert.
 
The gents are dressed by Harrolds Department Store and the adorable babies (when actually clothed) are wearing Seed.

Tim ‘Rosso’ Ross, Drive host for Kiis 106.5 Sydney and Mix 101.1 Melbourne has won the National Trust Heritage Award for his comedy show Man About The House.
 
The show is an innovative pastiche of comedy and architecture that saw him perform in mid-century homes alongside his musical collaborator Kit Warhurst and producer Stuart Alfred.
 

Chemist Warehouse and Nature’s Own are the new sponsors for ARN’s 3pm PickUp, hosted by Chrissie Swan and Jane Hall. The partnership will engage 3pm Pick up’s core female listeners, including many mums, who also form the key demographic for Nature’s Own.
 
The 3pm pickup can be heard on KIIS 1065 and the Mix FM network.

Following incumbent PD Ryan Rathbone’s exit yesterday, despite him being contracted to ARN in 2014, Derek Bargwanna is tipped to be odds on as his replacement.

Bargwanna was 2Day FM Content Director until he departed suddenly in late September, ostensibly for “family reasons.” If our mail is correct then the family reasons have been solved now that Kyle and Jackie O are joining the station previously known as MIX 106.5. Bargwanna is known to have been highly liked and respected by K & J.
