The future of Triple M’s poor performing breakfast program, The Shebang has been made for them with the announcement that co-host Fifi Box will be joining Channel Seven’s Sunrise program as weather presenter in 2009.
Box’s move to television has also forced Marty Sheargold to announce he will leave Austereo to pursuit other interests while Paul Murray will remain at Triple M is some capacity meaning there will be a new breakfast show in 2009.
Current Drive host Wil Anderson from the syndicated Wil & Lehmo show has indicated he has no desire to move into the cut-throat breakfast slot, a job he used to do with Adam Spencer on Triple J.
Phil O’Neill’s arrival mid-year could be the answer. O’Neill is currently familiarising himself with the Sydney audience again in the early evening and is an accomplished host who is more than capable of handling the breakfast slot.
Bianca Dye is an obvious co-host for O’Neill seeing as she is currently without a radio job and has recently been reported to have a few options on the table. Should Dye be offered breakfast and team up with O’Neill they would take on a new type of breakfast show that might be more like Kyle & Jackie O rather than a comedic based program.
Lizzy Lovette might also be a contender for a greater on-air role. Lovette recently filled in for Jackie O on sister station 2DAY FM and is now heard during afternoons on Triple M. Despite not having Breakfast or Drive time hosting experience, she could become an outside chance to partner O’Neill.
Management’s decision to axe Get This seems even more bewildering now that The Shebang has also been left out to dry. When Tony Martin, Richard Marsland and Ed Kavalee were shown the door, management said that despite the shows success it was not enabling listners to stay with Triple M.
In other words, non-traditional Triple M listners would tune in for Martin’s two hours of genius and then go somewhere else. So mamangements thinking was strategic… but the listner lost the best radio show on air.
Get This should have been retained and Get This should have been given there chance to do Breakfast. Now Triple M have to axe The Shebang which unfortunately failed when transferred from Drive to Breakfast.
Triple M Sydney has now axed The Shebang, Mick Molloy’s Tough Love, Get This and The Cage over the last three years. The station has struggled to find its identity attempting to combine music and shows and talk.
Unfortunately the Rock music genre is, at the moment not as popular as it has been over the previous few decades. Tastes and interests change and Triple M will find it’s place again in the market but until that happens it is a shame when quality radio programs are axed.
