ABC announces 2020 lineup including replacements for Chris Bath and Myf Warhurst
The ABC radio lineup for 2020 has been revealed, after it was announced last week that Sammy J would be replacing Jacinta Parsons and Sami Shah in Melbourne, and Chris Bath would be leaving the broadcaster.
New key changes include Sarah Macdonald as the replacement for Bath on Evenings in Sydney and across NSW and ACT. Myf Warhurst is also leaving the broadcaster, to be replaced in all states except Perth and Hobart by extended Afternoon and Drive programming. Warhurst’s music and culture show was not aired in Perth and Hobart.
ABC Radio will have a different lineup in some states in 2020
I’m going to miss Myf’s show. It was quite different to the usual ABC local radio show. Oh well.
Myf’s a rare breed: warm, engaging, open, friendly and someone you really enjoy listening to daily. I will also miss her show. What a pity! I wonder why she is not returning?
Will not listen to Macca on a Sunday morning – he’s dreary, narrow, & has no personality. I heard Jo Laverty in Canberra a few years back, how good would she be on a Sunday!! Just my opinion.
Sad to be losing Dan Bourchier on Radio Canberra. Top guy.
I agree about Macca – not keeping up with the times, and I’m older than him!!
Macca should go he is sol self centres and rude the show is all about him and his self promotion
Macca is great just luv listening to him every Sunday morning from 5.30 to 10.00 I really missed him
Over Xmas new year but he needs a break . he’s terrific and extremely
Popular ?
Agree with the comments on Macca … cannot believe he has survived for so long, rambling, incoherent at times and downright rude and ignorant on other occasions.
But he’s survived for decades … must be doing something right, Not sure what.
Going to miss Myf, loved her music and bright voice. Who started the ‘serious’ conversations on her programme? It didn’t suit Myf at all. Good luck Myf from your 80 yo fan.
At first I was annoyed that Myf’s Show had replaced 30 mins of national current affairs and 30 mins of my local radio afternoon show. I did come to enjoy Myf’s programme, but if the current presenter is an example of what’s to come, then I’d like my a) current affairs back and b) the other 30 minutes of Sonia Feldhoff that I’ve been missing out on.
Lastly, I believe that ABC Radio should be offering explanations as to why these changes keep happening. Blasé lines like “local content” don’t cut it, when 2 years ago, they removed local content. Not happy!
Not looking forward to the endless bombardment of Cricket, NRL and AFL football pushing aside regular programs.
Why cant cricket and football fans use other devices and streaming to get their fixes?
Going to miss Myf’s bright and breezy style (ABC Adelaide). Her well selected guests obviously enjoyed her company and the interview path Myf led them on.
Can’t fathom the decision.
Thank the faeries!!! Myf’s gone!!!!
Can turn off my 2pm alarm for when I turn back on for Sonya Feldoff on Adelaide 891
Sad that Myf has suddenly disappeared…..enjoyed her show every day, a mix of interesting and informative subjects, good music, and great interviews. All done with her free flowing PC-free style.
Was she a victim of the slashed ABC budget? Or not PC enough? Good luck Myf….gonna miss hearing you !
