Scandilands: “2DayFM and Nova, you’re in my sights”

How come there’s a story about Kyles reaction to what Nova did, but not actually an article on what Nova did?
Surely that’s a MUCH bigger story here with larger implications for show network/dual programming?? Mediawatch absolutely went to town on them

hahah! And you mean to say ARN or SCA have never done that little bit of three card trickery? Well, I seem to remember executing remarkably similar tactics on all three networks!

And Kyle Sandilands with ‘great shit’ on people? That’s like the old Bondi ocean outfall calling the nappy stinky. Where do I start turd-burglar?

This could open a can of worms and reveal how radio has been lying to listeners for ever. Night show hosts giving away fake prizes to listener reactions recorded months in advance…Breakfast talent dropping in questions to interviews done by junior staff they couldn’t be bothered to do…national radio shows rigging comps so that the majority of the prize winners come from the city that is hosting the activity to save money. I’m just going to grab the popcorn, brb.

Andy Grace you rarely contribute anything positive, insightful or valuable to these comments.

I would have to agree with James, I get the feeling that radio has left a bitter taste in your mouth Andy, c’mon mate we’re not all that bad.

Apparently there’s ‘never been a better time’ to join the MMM ‘CLUB’ – which is hysterical as it’s only been going for a month. Win a 15 K “payday” – whatever a payday is, I think it’s ’80s Jive Talk’ for a cash prize. The hat is so big, the prize so unacheivable. Then you have to listen to a winners promo, with an announcer not from your market giving away a prize to someone on the Gold Coast. . I think Media Watch have only just scratched the surface of just how redundant radio is hell bent on letting itself become.

Well well well Andy Grace. Haven’t the “Has Beens” come out of the wood work. Sure you’ve got experience of that in 1997 when you were kinda relevant. Look everyone can be jealous of Kyle when you’re a washed up loser. Take a chill pill sunshine. Kyle is the king who earns easy 10 million dollars a year. Jealous much?

I love Kyle this is why he is so great.

Anon @ 28 Mar 2017 – 10:50 am – RT take on this story is great and this is an industry page. If we wanted an account of media watch we’d just watch the story, if we want NOVA’s response we’ll wait for them to do something like a press release. I can’t wait for Thursday hope it’s not a Fizzer. The boys running that two cities stuff did exactly what i would have done in trying to make the radio sound local and shit hot. But they should change their practices and no doubt they will.

Congrats to Kyle for being the only one doing anything different on radio.

Hey kiddies. Better to be a has-been than a never was hey intern-boy? And $10M ? If you believe that you believe anything. That’s a *LOT* of revenue to write in a down-trending market before you think about even opening the doors!

Look – half your luck – if you think radio has a fantastic future the way it’s going well good on you. You only need about grade 5 comprehension to read half the articles here that aren’t press releases to see the bleedin’ obvious.

There are cutbacks everywhere, networking is everywhere, news has been decimated, that the pure play legacy advertising model is dying fast, that interactive digital (not DAB+) is killing not just radio but TV, advertising agencies, newspapers, pay TV in fact ALL legacy media.

I’m trying to give you guys a heads up … that’s all. But frankly if you don’t want to learn from my experience in both radio and digital media – seeing it from both sides,
well awesome for you. Go for your life.

Seriously, maybe I am completely clueless. Maybe I know nothing about today’s radio industry or the Internet. You might be right – too old and perhaps just too dumb. Maybe the Internet really is a fad and will whither and die on the vine and the good ole wireless will make an amazing comeback in the last quarter and be the only profitable medium long term.

I mean… it is possible. After all, that’s what your boss and your boss’s boss is saying and you believe him/her – right ?

Hang on.. Let me get this straight..

The guy who;

– Strapped a lie detector to a 14 year old rape victim and quizzed her live on air
– Was caught out using fake callers as real stories
– Played his wife (and his record companies) new single – And made money off it..

And the list goes on..

I can’t wait to see what happens next!

lol andy – you got too much time on your hands mate.

hopefully over the next few months all these radio stations put each other on blast.

good fun

There’s a few VERY dirty secrets the folks at KIIS might not want shared.

And as if Kyle watches Media Watch or does his own digging, unless it’s into a big bowl of ice cream.

Classic Kyle vintage stuff.

Andy Grace – Radio remains one of the most robust traditional mediums out there and all networks are undergoing digital transformations and investing in high growth areas. Digital native content, music streaming, podcasting, social, video, mobile and live events are diversifying radio’s revenue streams and future-proofing the business. Keep your prophecies of doom and gloom off this site, or come up with a solution to the problem as you see it. Nobody here gets any benefit from your comments.

was “Man-Child” the man sent out to do the research for this show and tell segment?…. Bet he was getting all the dirt from 2day and Nova… Bet it was setup yonks ago and it’s been unfolding underneath everyone’s eyes for months.. Either way i’m hooked and can’t wait for Kyles spray!

I really can’t stand Kyle. I also find it very hard to not listen to his show every morning.

Damo
Andy Grace does have a solution. Educate yourself
Andygrace.com
But be warned ….. the solution in a digital world IS NOT podcasting or music streaming as Dobbo and crew would have u believe … its…much broader …and doesn’t require “Middlemen” ….like radio stations or networks…for it to succeed.

I wasn’t going to comment any further on this childish nonsense; a thread which has nothing to do with me but instead was about Sandilands’ hypocrisy, but someone brought Anon’s comment to my attention. I appreciate the plug and you’re right about the disintermediation of the “middle-man” thing, but some of the stuff Dobbo’s doing is actually very good, especially considering the resistance he’s faced from others at the very highest levels of management over the years. In fact I was the person who first showed him the Internet in 1994 and since that day he’s probably been the most proactive, pro-digital executive I’ve ever met.
