Dan & Maz finish on 2DayFM breakfast but SCA remains silent on start date for Rove McManus
Struggling Sydney radio station 2Day Hit 104.1 has quietly taken its breakfast duo Dan Debuf and Maz Compton off-air ahead of new host Rove McManus starting with the network.
Last Friday was the final show for Dan & Maz who will move to the weekend breakfast slot, while this morning’s breakfast show was hosted by anchor Michael Christian and prominently featured promos for McManus who was described as “coming soon”.
2Day’s owners Southern Cross Austereo did not respond to questions regarding the timing of McManus’s first show, amid industry speculation that the station is running quiet this week in the final week of ratings survey seven and will instead put its new breakfast host on-air next week at the beginning of survey eight.
In a post on Instagram on Friday Debuf posted: “Final @2dayfm brekky show today for this team. The best I’ve ever worked with.”
The whole thing reeks of panic.
How about actually promoting D&M as if committed to them & a youthful/re-energised brand, rather than admitting defeat & ageing up massively with a middle-aged mediocrity – exactly what they pretended they were happy about shaking off with Sandilands & co.
6 months & they’ll say hello to another.
Typical SCA.
They must be desperate…Rove and our very own Kardashian.
@Dave – they’re probably ‘ageing – up” because their audience is older and has more disposable income
sorry to break it to you buddy – that’s called business economics and it’s something that we grown-ups do
Listened to Sam & Rove for a few minutes this morning…..sounded staged and soooo not funny! Sorry guys, although I loved the Bachelorette I will not be tuning in again, Dan and Maz were funny but I’d rather listen to Kyle and Jackie O!
Sorry guys, Dan & Maz were the best thing since the Mulray Bunch back in the day, very sorry to see them treated soooo harshly and will tune in on the weekends only, yep tried your new pairing but no thanks, Dan & Maz were funny and refreshing, maybe Sydney likes the controversy and smut your old pair delivered, mmm sex still sells even on the radio, come back Dan & Maz you are the best, mm and I am 58, not your usual demographic eh
Loved Dan & Maz. Switching over in the morning to another station now. Actually quite disappointing morning radio these days.
Miss you badly Dan and Maz. I struggled for a while when Kyle and Jackie moved. I moved with them but I find Kyle needs a slap more often than not and he’s a little boorish.
I switched back and there was Dan and Maz and I LIKED THEM. Was really enjoying their show. So sad to see them go.
Now I just plug in music from my phone most days, can’t be bothered. Rove and Sam sound fake and staged.
BIG mistake SCA, BIG BIG mistake
Missed Dan and Maz, thoroughly enjoyed their show. They were so funny, never liked Kyle and Jackie O, too mean!
