Robin Bailey returns to 97.3FM breakfast, three years after being dumped, to revive the Robin, Terry and Bob show
Just over three years after being dumped from the show, Robin Bailey is returning to Brisbane breakfast on the Australian Radio Network’s (ARN) 97.3FM. Former colleague Terry Hansen’s is also returning, signalling the revival of the Robin, Terry and Bob show.
At the end of 2016, after a decade on the program, Bailey was “ambushed” when ARN decided not to renew her contract, with Bianca Dye taking over hosting duties with co-hosts Terry Hansen and Bob Gallagher.
“I have been blindsided by ARN’s decision not to renew my contract. After minimal feedback during a protracted negotiation period at no stage did ARN make me any offer for 2017,” Bailey said at the time of her departure.
Thank goodness Robyn is back. It has never been the same since she left. Yah
I won’t be listening.Terry and Bob yes But Robin Bailey.Count me out.
“I was ambushed this morning and told of the decision to cease my employment with the station. This was not a joint decision.”
Now let’s get one thing straight. She (and her agent at the time) demanded a ridiculously high contract in dollar terms. The network had no option but to say no. They run a business. Its a pity she and her manager didn’t understand that.
That said, it’s good that both parties have found a way to move forward and work together again.
I was so sad when Robin and left and sad again when Terry left. I loved Robin, Terry & Bob and am SUPER happy they’re back together again. Looking forward to tuning in daily again from Tuesday!! Welcome back :o)
