Weekend wizards George Moore and Paul B Kidd are this week hosting 2UE Breakfast while Mike Carlton and Sandy Aloisi take a break.
Having successfully formed the best and highest rating weekend radio program, the duo have finally been given an opportunity in the cut-throat weekday schedule on Breakfast.
And why wouldn’t they succeed if George and Paul are anything to go by another successful George and Paul combination, George Harrison and Sir. Paul McCartney of The Beatles.
George and Paul broadcast from 8-2pm every Saturday and Sunday filling their show with news, information, entertainment, trivia, quizzes, history, fun and laughter.
The stars have not been fully utilised by 2UE but a weekday opportunity is what maybe missing for the dwindling station. This stint on Breakfast may in fact be a trial for George and Paul who would be more than capable of performing for 2UE on any weekday shift.
It is not the only change 2UE has made whilst the regulars holiday over this next two weeks. Former Channel Nine personality and regular 2UE fill-in host, Steve Liebman is hosting the Morning Show and fellow former Nine personality, Don Burke is hosting the Afternoon program.
Prue MacSween is alleviating Stuart Bocking in Nights and John Kerr is taking weekday listeners into the new day for the next fortnight while Jim Ball takes a break.
Channel Ten newsreaders Deborah Knight and Bill Woods will fill in for George and Paul on weekends and Clinton Maynard will do John Kerr’s weekend overnight program with David Prior hosting the Sunday, New Day program this past weekend.
2UE showed some audience growth in the third ratings survey of the year (7.5%) up 1.3% after the station’s worrying start which saw figures go backwards with a new schedule introduced post the John Laws era.
Survey 4 will be released next Tuesday, June 17 while some regular presenters maybe holidaying, sipping a cocktail or two, they maybe told not to worry coming back. Fill-in presenters can sometimes surprise or cause management to re-think programming.
