radio nova

Courtenay until 10...
Greg or Peter Devlin till lunch..
Greg or Peter after lunch till drive time with Miller

Then I'd listen....:)

I don't think they would be permitted to merge given that they have two distinct licenses, even if there is considerable overlap in the music played and that they have common ownership. Swapping presenters, however, could be done as that's nothing to do with the licenses.

Maybe a merger coming, Classic Nova Fm or Radio Nova hits.

Well Nova has been a kind of Classic Nova FM for years now, it's hard to tell the difference between them at times.

They can now drop the pretence of being a rock or classic rock station and just become a n other Radio Bland FM.

Shame really, they had so much promise at the start, but have gradually watered themselves down over the years...add in the car crash breakfast show......

What could be done is a change of schedule in both stations and possibly swapping some of the presenters.

I did not want to mention it before but, seeing as there are about to be announcements, an informed source drew my attention to a tweet by a Nova presenter, who hinted they are getting some kind of big gig.

Think this announcement will be Lucy leaving, and PJ Gallagher joining Hayes. Good god! Lol!

Well according to the ads they've taken on board what their listeners have said, so here's hoping but I fear its just another attempt at trolling us. They're probably just bringing back the Nova noise or some other whacky promotion/syndicated radio show.

Great news this morning- Nova have finally listened to their audience and have agreed to bring The Friday Night Rock Show back on March 12th ! Happy days peeps!

Have they listened to their audience and got rid of the breakfast show, or did the poll somehow say everyone loves the breakfast show???

Unfortunately Clarke won’t be returning to the airwaves and I know that for a fact.

So you are saying Joh Clarke is totally gone from Nova 100 and will not be returning at any stage !

Sadly, I’m afraid so Peter.

and they're not going to play any more Ed Sheeran, no more Breakfast Show repeats on a Saturday so if only they'd bring back John Clarke on Sunday mornings.

I’ve no issue with Hayes or the breakfast show personally but I will be honest in admitting it’s pretty over-promoted. And as for Ed Sheeran... knew it was just a piss-take really !

Unfortunately Clarke won’t be returning to the airwaves and I know that for a fact.

Hopefully Peter Devlin will follow suit shortly too... his show was one of the best.

The only ones who did maintain their shows during Covid were Pat James and Kieran McGuinness , so...:)

Would it be too much to expect a new proper rock station from the Bauer group..not Kerrang heavy but anything rock...:o

There's a big difference these days between who I'd like to hear and who I'd expect to hear on Nova.

Its a big pity that music played between 7 and 7 every day is not in line with what is played or what was played on some those syndicated shows such as Alice Cooper / Steve Downes etc...

....or even 10 years ago...

Is that what the "big announcement" was? Thought that Branners had read the survey results and was getting rid of Colon and Loopy.

So, it's just another syndicated radio show like Rick Wakeman, Bruce Springsteen and Alice Cooper.

Looks like the Foo Fighters Radio Show is coming to Nova on the 27th. Will be airing Saturday’s at 6 p.m. and Sunday’s at 9 p.m. - each of the members host their own show. This should be interesting..

So i wonder if this is the end of the Saturday Soundtrack or whatever hope there was of its return ?
