We're Up and Running

In this episode of the podcast we talk with Nova’s first national head of programming Dean Buchanan about the battle in Melbourne and it’s fair to say that Dean has some very definite views on who’s winning and why.  Also this week we sail into Stormy waters and discuss the value of a porn star on the Fox, and we’ll crank up the age old question of whether cash contesting can really make a difference in the ratings.

In this week’s episode we take a good hard look at the ramifications of survey 3.

Wade and Irene are well and truly divided on this one, stand by for some fireworks. We’ll also have another round of real or spin as we analyse the messages from the Nova, Fox and KIIS PR teams and we’ll answer your email questions.
