Astute commentary on 4BC in general. I don't necessarily agree that young staff are the problem. They are following orders from above. I think the big bosses in Sydney should hired you as content manager to change the lineup. Move away from conservative talk back. Just cut that off. It's not the way forward for Brisbane. It would be a shame if 4BC became a zombie station that broadcasts 2GB but the Sydney bosses have no vision. Currently Laurel, Gary, Mark's show is the station scapegoat. It's unfair. They generate the most ad revenue of any show.
Maybe what I've written sounds harsh about young staff. It's not their fault they don't know what they don't know when it comes from lived experience, although there's not really an excuse for them being ignorant about a major event such as Diana's death, even if it did happen before they were born. I agree that they are scapegoating L,G and M. They hired them in the first place, then because they were not committed to the changes that that would involve, they let 4BH and Barbecue Bob eat their breakfast, lunch and dinner. My thoughts about the big bosses down south? They know how to run two successful radio stations (3AW and 2GB) -- and, to be honest, there's not a lot involved in that apart from stroking egos and putting out spot fires -- but not two currently unsuccessful stations (4BC and 6PR). I guess that says something.
