Wheeler gets the axe as 2UE mixes up weekends and welcomes back Robertson

Radiorumours.com reported on Wednesday that Glenn Wheeler has been axed from his weekend afternoon show and today 2UE has confirmed that Clive Robertson who most recently presented the overnight show is now presenting every Saturday and Sunday from 2-6pm.

Last weekend change was made to the weekend schedule bumping Don Burke to 6AM with George and Paul now coming on at 8AM until 2PM. Possibly Wheeler’s shift being slashed from 6 to 4 hours caused his departure as he believes he offers more than the six hour weekend show he was presenting before it got slashed to 4 hours.

Robertson is a good move for 2UE and was wasted overnights. He is quirky, funny, more interesting and entertaining than Wheeler and has a very strong lead in from George and Paul that UE hope will sustain an audience that Wheeler has struggled to hold.

2UE have fiddled with their weekends hoping to increase ratings and advertising revenue that would be decreasing with an underperforming weekday schedule.

Robertson starts tomorrow from 2PM on 2UE.
