Grant Denyer and Yvie Jones return to radio on the Hit Network
TV personalities Grant Denyer and Yvie Jones will return to Southern Cross Austereo’s Hit Network, hosting a national breakfast program during summer.
Denyer’s ill-fated stint on radio wrapped up earlier this year, when the Hit Network’s Sydney station, 2Day FM, decided to focus on a music in the mornings, instead of a panel of personalities.
The Hit Network includes 2Day FM and Fox FM
The decision to move away from talent and talk-based breakfast programming in Sydney came after declining ratings, and a series of attempts to refresh and renew the program following the departure of Kyle Sandilands and Jackie ‘O’ Henderson to Australian Radio Network’s (ARN) Kiis FM in 2013.
About time they give this kid a go!
It’s official. 2DayFM have officially run out of talent to host the breakfast shift. They also appear to have run out of ideas.
2DayFM’s Breakfast with Yesterday’s Man.
I am betting that 2020 at 2DayFM is going to like 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019. I am beginning to think the big blue “H” stands for “Hardly Trying”.
Why does the Hit Network look for radio talent anywhere but radio? They have dozens of stations across Australia with eager young talent waiting for an opportunity like this, and they fob it off to one-third of a previously failed breakfast show and a woman famous for sitting around watching TV.
Using the analogy of the Titanic, it would be easy to call Gemma Fordham the captain, but she’s actually the iceberg.
