Radio Today Podcast: Looming talent changes in 2021 & next week’s ratings predictions

Somehow it’s radio ratings again next week so Radio Today Tonight dives in to dissect what numbers and shifts to look out for.

Plus as we hurtle towards the end of this woeful year, the murmurs are getting louder about which shows and talent will be left behind in 2021.

And for a bit of fun, we listen to Jack Post’s new song about a “generic radio veteran” who can’t let go of his time on the sun. We play the song and try to work out – is it really about nobody, or are there hints within the lyrics about the man who “back announces the track despite the fact no-one can hear him”?

• What to look for when Survey 7 results drop next Thursday, and why Nine Radio is expecting more of the same (01:44)
• Lineup changes rumoured at Fox FM Breakfast and why did Mike Hammond really leave WSFM Sydney? (10:02)

Radio Today Tonight will come to you each Thursday, mixing the biggest news of the week, along with a discussion of all the personalities, politics and pressures involved in the audio industry.

It will be jointly hosted by Radio Today editor Vivienne Kelly and publisher Jake Challenor.
