Game Changers Radio

Could this be the most controversial moment between our 2 counties since Trevor Chappell's underarm 45 years ago? (Google it kids).

This week, Nova 96.9 rolled out Ricki-Lee & Tim Blackwell in breakfast and at the end of week 1 we ask: does it sound like a contender who could challenge Kyle & Jackie O — or does it sound more like a drive show in breakfast clothing?

Also this week we talk with Australian programming superstar Adrian Brine about the challenges of working in the world's toughest radio market - Auckland NZ. This might be one of the most inspiring conversations about radio content you'll hear anywhere.

What if breakfast radio stopped chasing hype and started building community? We analyse Christian O'Connell's first week as a national show, KIIS Adelaide's strategic inertia, GfK Survey 8 narratives, and why closeness, not noise, might be radio's next advantage.

It's our final episode for the year and we're going out with a whimper … hang on, we're going out with a bang, starting with the most shocking results from the last Magnificent 7 of 2025 - the biggest radio moment of this year is NOT what we were expecting.

We'll take one last look at the GfK headlines from all the metro markets and review our spicy predictions for 2025. 

And to finish the year, Wade is back with an updated version of 'How to make ratings' covering all the headlines from one of radio's biggest years ever.

A wild week in radio: within minutes of last week's pod, Ash Bradnam quit Nova Brisbane and Jimmy walked from 2DayFM. Two shock exits, two big mysteries. We break down what makes sense, what doesn't, and what it means for 2026 — including why SCA will be cheering in Brisbane and why 2Day's next move needs to start with the station format, not the breakfast show.

Then it's our final Magnificent 7 of the year — the seven radio moments that defined 2025, from Lu & Jarch's MMM debut to Christian O'Connell going national to JJJ's Top 100 - it's all here and you get to decide on the biggest radio moment of the year.
