Ed Phillips driving Melbourne and Sydney home
Radio veteran Ed Phillips started on Drive this week with DMG's 91.5 in Melbourne, and 95.3 in Sydney, and in an article in The Age has spoken about the new role.
''I love the irony that we are this '80s format, which is the stuff I first played back at the start. I'm having flashbacks. I'm actually really into it – I'd be listening to the station anyway, even if I weren't working here"
"I have to explain to these new kids that it's not just some new thing that was sampled by Usher''.
Phillips, whilst Sydney-based, is originally from Melbourne so will have the knowledge to localise the show for each market, and in a brief listen yesterday to both markets he was doing so consistently.
He is hoping to broadcast from Melbourne regularly however: "I'm really passionate about getting down to Melbourne as often as I can". Phillips is on 95.3 Sydney, and 91.5 Melbourne, from 4-7pm weekdays.
