SMH Diary buys the lamest tip of the year
Remember last week’s dodgy “tip off” about how utterly brilliant Prue MacSween and Tracey Spicer are on 2UE?
In case you don’t remember, it was an anonymous email from “Radio insider” who claimed:
“Is Australia ready for an all girl talkback team?
“It’s rumored that 2UE’s trail of commercial radio’s first ever female duo, Tracey Spicer and Prue MacSween may already be shaping up to be more!
The best of luck to them, but I’d be waiting for some ratings data before declaring them such a huge success.
Hmm, remind me who owns 2UE again?
Hang on … I saw this big ad today in which the SMS proclaims it says no to favours, no to compromises, no to agendas and is wonderfully independent.
I suppose I should not take the ad so seriously. It’s just raw messaging after all. The wisdom embodied in the editorial process is where the real value lies.
Isn’t there already an ‘all girl radio duo’ doing the 3pm slot on one of the FM slots anyway?? The girl from Big Brother and the girl from MTV.
Good pick up Mumbrella – I read it and laughed. After one week they are suddenly ratings superstars? Unless the stations is asking thier listeners directly, how would they know? I listened to them but wasn’t that impressed. Stuart Bocking wouldnt be too worried about losing that slot. Fairfax really is lowering its standards.
