Thanks Graig and all the staff for an interesting web site.
All the work and effort that goes into each article is great, and allowing people to comment as well just puts that cherry on top.
Even if it may make your life difficult at times we love it. (especially the radio section) thats why we keep coming back for more.
Good job guys.

Wow Craig, you let stuff slip into this that is inaccurate about HD or NEW. Nice of you to stand up for the poor souls at Charlestown. Any chance you could drop your bitterness?

Craig’s response: For the record “Col” I have unfortunately had to block or moderate quite a few comments of late, many of which are actually are actually directed at 2HD and NEWFM staff. Some comments are published automatically if the address has been previously approved (as yours was), however new addresses require moderation before being published. This is to prevent the numerous people in the industry who are using fake names, or other people’s names to post derogatory comments about their competitors. Unfortunately some of these comments can unfairly affect some staff who don’t deserve to be dragged into the mud-slinging. My previous comment merely questions the authenticity of the claim. I’d like to be able to run all comments on this site but it seems when it comes to the local radio industry it will no longer be possible unless everyone starts supplying true addresses.

Note: we’ve been receiving plenty of interesting comments like the above. Obviously a few people are trying to redirect the attention. I’ve no idea whether they have any substance or not.

Time to refloat the one that wont go away. Bye bye David, swappsy Steve and Hello new guy on NX. Word is Steve is getting a little too old for the NX fit and David is about as popular as
Dennis Fitzgerald at a Brett Kenny party amongst some of the important Charlestown folk. Start your clocks now. Moves are afoot. Tanya wants out anyway so it certainly wont bother her. See how right I am.

There’s no doubt that James is under some sort of Caralis spell and thinks that 2NUR should not exist, or at least should not flog them at their own advertising game.
Most radio listeners couldn’t care if a station is commercial or community they only care whether it’s good or bad.
I feel it would be an injustice if 2NURFM is penalised for being a good radio station and if this was the case then 2HD should be penalised for being a bad radio station.

That’s funny Todd. You went to Brisbane to record the new on air sweepers which include Richard King!

2NUR FM is skating on very thin ice and it’s getting thinner! Soon it will break altogether. Take note Wayne.

Does anyone need a reminder of what type of license 2NUR holds??? COMMUNITY! NOT COMMERCIAL!

This has been going on for far too long and Media Hunter should definitely do a story on it and bring attention to this crazy radio station doing what it wants thinking it holds a commercial license.

Warren Netalbo, do you have anything further to add? 2NUR’s commercial days are numbered – and about time!

Todd

Thx for the clarification. Seems like there’s plenty of wild speculation flying around at the moment.
