I'm sure he's very good at what he does, but on rock station , sorry forgot, guitar music station. Have they ever played Airbourne, Wolfmother or The Answer?

Played? They wouldn't even have a clue who any of those bands are. Their hard rock/metal library extends no further than the Black Album (and only two of its tracks at that).

Kyle More wrote: » I found Greg's move to evenings to be one of the more bizarre moves in the reshuffle, after Colm & Lucy began their reign of terror on the Nova airwaves. He held the mid morning/afternoon slot since the station's inception and was clearly popular among Nova's listenership. If memory serves me, he was even the first DJ to go live on air when the station launched in 2010.

It figures, posting anything to do with that show generally attracts a flurry of negative comments. I can't help but wonder if the station's bigwigs are quietly beginning to realise that they have fumbled the ball with the Colm & Lucy experiment? They took a risk in steering the flagship show towards the casual listener and it doesn't appear to be yielding significant results. Who would have thought that the market is already saturated with options for the casual listener, meanwhile they're driving away their actual fans. I know it's wishful thinking to seriously ponder if someone is finally taking notice, but one can hope
