For Amanda Keller, revenge on Triple M is a dish best served at breakfast time
Radio is a funny old game.
And the publication of Amanda Keller’s memoir, Natural Born Keller, today gives the management of Southern Cross Austereo an excellent opportunity to reflect on this.
The top two Sydney FM breakfast shows are currently Kyle & Jackie O on Kiis FM and Jonesy & Amanda on WSFM, both of which are of course ARN stations.
The defection of Kyle Sandilands and Jackie Henderson from SCA’s 2Day FM to Kiis has been a tale well told. But also worth remembering is that Austereo’s Triple M also let Keller slip through its fingers – and in a less-than-classy way.
Amanda is a star!
Amanda is ethical, genuine and respectful. So many insensitive people out there!!!!
Amanda is a star. And classy. Can’t wait to read this
The benchmark of delightful and a pleasure to have worked with.
Amanda deserves all the success she achieves.
Mumbo – you realise they are two completely different Grill Team’s, right? Amanda was never a part of the modern day Grill Team that she is currently beating in the ratings.
Ummm.. Actually the Melbourne Grill Team had well and truly finished by that time.
The show Amanda is talking about joining was The Whole Shebang and it was drive as they put The Cage into breakfast.
She was part of a huge rotating lineup that included Mikey, Jo Stanley, Fifi Box, Marty Sheargold and Jodie J Hill.
When they finally dropped the “whole” and became The Shebang, it was just Marty & Fifi.
It never ceases to amaze me the appalling treatment people get in radio.Amanda Keller is one of many talented people who have suffered . Big stars one day a doormat the next. There seems to be little foresight or hindsight in radio in general. . Its a small industry – driven by huge management egos.- and cowboys.
Im a little confused, did she host a show which included a rumours section every day, and is now complaining about a radio station telling a rumour about her?
Pot, id like to introduce you to Kettle.
I’m proud to say I worked with Amanda via the newsroom when were at Bondi Junction and she has always kept in contact with support or kind words when they were needed.
A caring classy lady with loads of talent.
Amanda,
Thank you for being you and true to yourself.
I
