12:02PM Jess McGuire | Yesterday it was announced that brand new Channel Nine show ‘THIS Afternoon’ has been cancelled after less than a month on air. I didn’t see it so I can’t comment on the quality of the show, but I was mildly repulsed by its shouty title so I can’t say I was rooting for it. More »
This Afternoon Has Been Cancelled… Does Anyone Care?

Radio Is A Potentially Deadly Line Of Work…
9:43AM Jess McGuire | Having spent a little bit of time behind a microphone myself, I can personally vouch for the fact that many radio hosts spend their time on air legitimately fearing for their lives. I remember the time I played a 12 minute extended remix of Meat Loaf’s ‘I Would Do Anything For Love (But I Won’t Do That) and refused to leave the building for the next 12 hours lest an irate RRR listener, worked up by the Jim Steinman madness I’d inflicted upon their ears, glassed me outside the studio.
And it seems I’m not the only broadcaster in the country scared of being murdered on air – apparently there are some successful folk on the wireless (I’m talking about men and women who have an audience of more than ten people) who feel terrified too!
Which radio star refuses to broadcast from a studio with windows, for fear he’ll be shot by a sniper? The high-profile presenter’s paranoia was revealed by rivals when ABC Evenings’ Andrew Daddo was casually handing over to Nightlife host Tony Delroy.
An aside – there are Daddos working for ABC Local Radio? I love it! More »
