The absolute epitomy of professionalism, dignity, and journalistic integrity.

I hope he has a long and happy retirement.

What is this 'Radio' you speak of?

If you are a taxpayer, you pay for it, so give it a listen.

I am a big fan of public service broadcasting, and we actually now only have one organ of same now that TVNZ is no longer.

I originally switched back in the day because I grew to loathe commercials, and to hate the morons who infest commercial radio. Nothing has changed there except the "jocks" are, if anything, even more reprehensible than ever.

When they start playing Extreme Metal on daytime Radio, maybe.

If not, I have about 120 Gb worth of music on my Work PCs

yep, shame we wont be hearing 'ko geoff robinson tenei' any longer. great guy loved to start my day with the morning report

[fridayflash]

as an aside, i must add that sean plunkett gets on my fucken tits, as does mary wilson...a pathetic whingeing/hounding/accusing style of interviewing.
i will however, continue to listen

[ellipsis]

...the fact that National doesn't play music constantly is great...he has been one of the things in life that remained constant in an ever changing world...never really thought about him as anything other than his being one of the first voices I'd hear in the morning... his absence will be conspicuous...

[Voltaire]

I drive over the Bombays from time to time in the van and the only station I can get is that one...National Program...?
When is the rest of the country going to get FM?

That one. I can't listen to commercial radio for long, even with a penchant for more alternative/harder music than usual schmeltz - just the adverts give me the piss. And the morons doing the talking esp in the mornings.

My wife started me on Nat radio, I thought she was a fuddyduddy, but the bliss of no adds, no overplayed playlist & a newsreel approach instead was an improvement.

I liked Plunket, its just that 'orrible wench Kim Hill on Saturdays I hate. She interviews all sorts of interesting people & then proceeds to talk over them in her patronising Let me show you how incredibly intellectual and well read I am vernacular (see what I did there?)

That said, now I have kids, if I can get silence in the morning I turn off National Radio as well

I was listening to Chris Carter on ZB talkback when he got fired. Apparently they told him his days were numbered so he just up and left.

I also don't listen to radio music: but then I never did really. In fact the last time I ever was into radio music was Barry Jenkin and the "ZM All Nighter"

for some reason the central body of the north island is a strange place for radio reception...i drove from taupo to ngaruawahia (to pickup bike of course)
and the only thing i could pickup was a christian station which was playing an audio version of the old testament...fuck lott's daughters were slappers!

used to listen to barry jenkin too, his gravely voice introduced me to a lot of new wave punk etc

[SPman]

It was all downhill after Kim Hill wasn't a regular......
