‘WTAF?’: Confusion surrounds sacking of popular radio presenters
A number of high-profile and popular radio presenters across Australia have been axed this week, which has been met with confusion and anger by listeners.
On Thursday morning, ABC Sydney’s Mornings presenter, Sarah Macdonald, made the shock announcement that the national broadcaster “decided not to renew my contract”; a decision which fans and fellow ABC host, Media Watch’s Paul Barry slammed.
“I can’t believe this,” Barry tweeted this week.
“IMHO she’s brilliant, one of the best things on radio. WTAF?”
thats alot of Gen Xers moved on and a couple of boomers retiring
the great reset. Pop Radio with music content needs to have more current voices on it.
Dave Hughes introducing Chappel Roan, Mark Geyer and Mick Molloy introducing anything other than pearl Jam…
every 10 years or so SCA stations etc try to modernise and appeal to younger audiences stealing from triple j etc (myf, merrick, rosso, kate langbroek etc). then they age out. rinse and repeat
At 89, John Laws is nearly a decade older than the oldest boomer.
Triple m powers that be are so obviously full of sh*t.
[Edited]
Might actually start listening to Triple M breakfast again
Have turned off to another station. Loved the 4pm drive home in adelaide now it’s gone so am I
Mick Molloy was never a good fit for Sydney.
Mark Guyer peaked soon after Matt Johns departed. A good bloke though.
