Jono and Dano to stay on for 2010
The Australian Radio Network has renewed its contract with MCM Media to produce The Jono & Dano Show for 2010.
The pair – Jonathan Coleman and Ian Rogerson – reunited earlier this year for the syndicated drivetime show, which now runs on 36 stations nationwide.
“We’re delighted to continue our partnership with ARN and Macquarie Southern Cross Media, and with next year confirmed, we’re focussed on growing the reach and success of the show even further,” said Simon Joyce, CEO of MCM Media.
ARN’s group director of sales Paul Parker added: “It’s a win for us on a number of fronts…a compelling drive program for our audience and an environment that creates real cut through and engagement for our advertisers.” Advertisers have included Hewlett Packard, Subaru, and IGA.
Metro stations taking the show include WSFM in Sydney GOLD 104 in Melbourne, 4KQ Brisbane, and Mix 102.3 Adelaide.

Yet more proof that “Beige” and “Controllable” are the two biggest check
boxes still for Australian programmers…

Jack and Terry, you both are examples of people who have no idea about you are talking about.
Why would a network who’s focus is on People 35-64, easy listening / classic hits use young talent, or go beyond beige and controllable. I can understand your point of view if they were on the today network or nova, however we are talking mainstream Australia.

Personally I love Jono & Dano.
In a sea of mediocrity at Sydney based radio stations these guys, along with Jonesy and Amanda in the morning are funny, irreverant and more than anything, appear to be pretty decent people.
Maybe it’s an old fashioned concept – not taking the piss out of your listeners – but I think they’re doing a great job and will be tuning in again in 2010.
To be honest I only started listening to WSFM after I got completely jacked off with the garbage on most of the other Sydney stations, particularly on breakfast radio. I’m 38 and can no longer deal with the stuff they’re playing on Triple J and every other station is just utter drivel – with the exception of ABC 702.
So good on you guys! I’ve been a fan since I was a 14 year old Duran Duran loving 2SM listener, it’s nice to know there are some stations out there that value experience, not just youth.
And I am anything but beige.
