Game Changers Radio: Melbourne Radio Wars

We’ve got some first thoughts on the first survey results of the year on what is a very big day for Christian O’Connell.

Who are the Mad F**ing Witches, and why are they going after Kyle & Jackie O?  This week, we unpack their campaign and the broader role of activism in radio.

Meanwhile, Fifi, Fev & Nick claim to be Melbourne’s biggest breakfast party, but can they balance that with their push for bail reform? It’s a question that’s been weighing on Wade’s mind.

And with Survey 1 results looming, will Kyle & Jackie O finally see the boost they need in Melbourne? We make our predictions.

In this week's episode we get the full rundown from Radiodays Europe 2025 including all the goss on Wade’s chance meeting with Jackie O at the event. And big news this week - 2DayFM has a new format, aimed at younger listeners, we’ll share our notes from our listen. 

This week, we’re diving into more of your questions covering topics including navigating tough conversations with talent, breaking down who’s winning the marketing war, and asking whether ARN has any real leverage with Kyle & Jackie O, plus, we each share a career moment we would probably prefer to forget.

In this episode we'll talk about the biggest radio story of the year so far - Marty Sheargold’s own goal that could may have ended his FM radio career.

And the numbers are in. The SCA and ARN financials have been published this week and we’ll get the clearest insight into what they mean from Mumbrella’s Tim Burrowes.
