Fox FM’s Matt & Jo hit back at Catherine Deveny comments over ‘everything that’s wrong with commercial radio’ promo shot
“It’s about his head. It’s about her body. Yuk”
Outspoken comedian Catherine Deveny has become embroiled in a row with Melbourne Fox FM radio hosts Matt Tilley and Jo Stanley after criticising an old promotional photograph of the pair on Twitter.
Last night she Tweeted the following about the 18-month old photo: “@CatherineDeveny: This photo sums up everything that’s wrong with commercial radio. It’s about his head. It’s about her body. Yuk. @CatherineDeveny: How could Matt and Jo think this photo is okay?”
Tilley responded: “You’re out of line, lady. And I will say this. If everything about commercial radio is so yuck, then how come some years ago, Catherine Deveny, you kept faxing me scripts, desperate to get on this show?”
Can you call someone who isn’t funny a comedian?
Pretty sure the music is mainly what is wrong with commercial radio. Even the presenters would agree there.
“faxing me scripts” – fax machines still exist?
Catherine D is just painful. Although here – she has a vey valid point.
Pretty juvenile response. “Yeah, well, she just wishes she was us.”
Yeah, “comedian” is a bit rich. Maybe germ or inconvenience.
Of course she’s right…commercial radio is swamp of douchey idiots and bad music.
Deveny being called a comedian is a compliment……..
Good on them for giving it back to her.
She is right about the photo. Of course she faxed you scripts – she wanted to improve your show!
Any publicity is good publicity so long as they spell your name right. Right?
Now, let’s see ….so that’s Cathleen who?
Hang on why isn’t that show called the Jo and Matt show, after all it’s alphabetically correct and in any case, she has a much more attractive body than him.
I enjoy Catherine Deveny speaking her mind. Sometimes she may go ‘slightly overboard’ but overall she’s outrageously good. And yes, commercial radio is bad. It hasn’t changed in 35 years. Anyone here want to destroy the joint? I do!
We get stuck with the same DJs on high rotation for years and years, employing the same old tired commercial radio antics and playing the same crappy music. Commercial radio needs to hit the Control, Alt and Delete button, shutdown and start up again with something fresh. Thank God for the ABC and community radio stations.
I can see the problem with the photo – it looks like Jo has broken her hip. I hope she is alright.
The really sad thing about the photo is Tilley’s the one with the hot body. The man must live in the gym. Topless photos of Tilley!
I actually agree about the photo, but is anyone remembering that this is radio? Nobody is listening to radio because of anyone’s looks. Because, you know… it’s radio?
1. Badmouth commercial radio
2. Run figures and recommend investing $$ om it
3. Badmouth commercial radio some more
Actually, forget what I said. That’s rude of me.
Commercial radio is generally hopeless.
Deveny is not a comedian ( like Austen Taysus)
She should realise this fact and drive a cab or something.
She needs to make a living
Interesting all the haters of commercial radio.
Me i just exercise my right to change the station. No hate, spite or vitriol needed.
Ah the world we live in now. Its all about me.
For someone who has a problem with the FOX FM images she’s certainly had the photoshop out for her own promotional image for the comedy festival show.
She’s barely recognisable:
