Speaker 1: to that. Have a great Christmas, New Year, and catch

12
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:33,920
Speaker 1: you next time. Now. I've been working as an announcer

13
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 1: now for four years, and when my boss came to

14
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 1: meet back in late twenty twenty and said I need

15
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:42,280
Speaker 1: you to leave the newsroom and work nights eight till midnight.

16
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 1: My first response was, can't I just stay in the

17
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:48,479
Speaker 1: newsroom all The answer was no. So I started at

18
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 1: nights and while I've filled in for different announcers in

19
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 1: almost every shift, at some point over almost twenty nine

20
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 1: years that I've now worked at five Double, a wonderful

21
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:00,279
Speaker 1: radio station that we are becoming an announcer was in

22
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 1: that time. I've got to tell you, never an aspiration.

23
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,399
Speaker 1: I was very happy in the news role and filling

24
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:07,759
Speaker 1: in on air and being a floater when needed. In fact,

25
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:11,400
Speaker 1: I love the adrenaline rush of all of that. In nights, though,

26
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 1: I was really pleased to record a twenty seven share

27
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:18,040
Speaker 1: in Survey eight twenty two, and that was the highest

28
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 1: share in the eight till midnight night's time slot since

29
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 1: Bob Francis achieved a twenty nine year some twenty years ago.

30
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:27,040
Speaker 1: People said, that's the best number we've seen. Haven't seen

31
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:29,639
Speaker 1: numbers like that since then. Yes, I'm channeling Donald Trump.

32
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 1: No one who followed Bob, though, got a result as

33
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 1: high as that, so I was wrapped and grateful for

34
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 1: the opportunity. I wanted, in fact, longer at night, so

35
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 1: I wanted to aim for thirty share, But two years

36
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:42,679
Speaker 1: ago I was asked to move to mornings, and the

37
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 1: share in the last survey just this week yesterday, in

38
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 1: fact went up considerably, just three points off what I inherited,

39
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: and given Leon's big shoes after just two years, I'm

40
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: actually very happy with that result. Ratings take ages to settle.

41
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 1: It's you know the old about turning the Queen Mary,

42
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 1: but they settle, They take ages to settle ratings after

43
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 1: such a big name in adelaide a heritage presenter been

44
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 1: on air Leon Biner since nineteen sixty nine and here

45
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 1: at five double A held the same time slot for

46
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: two long decades. So where the ratings are today? Really happy?

47
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: But the survey results compiled by GfK show that when

48
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: you dive in behind the headline figure that gets reported

49
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: and everyone sort of talks about on Facebook or wherever else,

50
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 1: and you look at the breakdowns in ages and times

51
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 1: of listening across the day, The small overall decrease in

52
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 1: ratings across the day here on five double A seems

53
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 1: to be driven by women who are sixty five and

54
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:43,639
Speaker 1: older moving in large numbers, according to GfK to triple them,

55
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,399
Speaker 1: which is no reflection on them. They do as good

56
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 1: a job with rock heavy rock as we do with

57
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,920
Speaker 1: news and talk, and maybe that's why oldly women are

58
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 1: tuning in in big numbers. Incidentally, males age sixty five

59
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 1: and old are still here at five double A. We're

60
00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 1: either number one or two across the workday for older bloke.

61
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: So for my part. As much as I've enjoyed being

62
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 1: on air and chatting with you in nights and mornings

63
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 1: over the last four years, i am returning to my

64
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 1: radio roots in the five double eight newsroom. As I said,

65
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 1: I love the adrenaline rush of jumping on air with

66
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 1: little notice, and I've missed it. And I love the

67
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 1: adrenaline rush too of getting breaking news to air from

68
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 1: the newsroom, and I've missed that too, So I'm pleased

69
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: to do that next year, to write and present news

70
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 1: during breakfast and mornings, which I enjoy, in filling in

71
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: on various shifts on ear too, which I also enjoy,

72
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: which means I'll be back here from time to time.

73
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 1: And I'm very lucky really be working with excellent people

74
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: with Tammy, who is i'd say the best news radio

75
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: talk producer in Adelaide without exception, and just brilliant at

76
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 1: what she does behind the scenes in giving me a

77
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 1: lot of information to share with you, and the management

78
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 1: team at five double a that's put up with me

79
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 1: and obviously values the experience that I've accumulated over the period.

80
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 1: They want to keep me here and engage, so both

81
00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 1: of us are happy
