Is 2GB host Chris Smith the first to fall after Alan Jones contract renewal?

TROUBLE AT 2GB COLD STEVE PRICE BE NEXT? IF THE REPORT IN THE DAILY TELGRAPH IS THE BE RELIEVED CHRIS SMITH COUD WEELL HAVE HAD HIS LAST PROGRAM ON AFTERNOOONS TI 2GB. LUKE GRANTB COLD BE REPLACE CHRUS SMOTH IOF STEVE PRICE IS NEXT TO GO MERICK WATTS COULD WELL REPLACE STEVE PRICE.

We always listen to Smithy everyday on 4bc in Brisbane, move him on and there will be a hell of a lot of people changing stations in a hurry as he is one of the best so leave him alone.

Sure, nights is a lousy time slot but someone’s got to do it and if management think they can improve ad revenue with higher ratings with Price in the afternoons than that’s their call.

Radio hosts need to realise they’re a product and be swapped in and out of time slots to maximise shareholder value is part of the deal and they’re paid the big bucks in return for this uncertain existence. Footy teams work the sam way: they always have players on the bench to be swapped in if this improves the teams chances of winning.

Smith is a university educated man and it shows. I think the nights format would suit his more cerebral approach he’s capable of, rather than the sometimes silly stuff expected of afternoon hosts.

Chris I hope 2GB management comes to their senses and does not put Steve Price into your slot. I, for one, will not continue to listen in the afternoons if he takes your slot, as I do not like the man and don’t want to listen to him. I have been a 2GB listener (on 2CC) for many years and enjoy all the day time programmes, Alan, Ray then you but things will change in my household if you are moved. 2GB needs to get it’s priorities right – Steve Price is not a likeable man and I will not listen to him.
All the best, Barbara.

Do not find Price worth listening to at night and often wish there was someone far better than him in that slot. Chris would certainly be better, but again, why should he be moved to satisfy Price….. in fact, put Price in the midnight slot and Michael McLaren in Prices place.

Good riddance. Extremely biassed reporter. I wont miss him.

If Chris Smith goes then 2GB can say goodbye to many listeners. The daily line up as it is now is what keeps people going particularly the older listeners. I hope Smithy doesn’t get the “holiday stab in the back” he will be missed and 2GB can say goodbye to their top ratings.

Steve Price in afternoons great move another white old angry man. That’ll work, always does – Kyle, Jones, Marty, Moonman, Hadley, Chaser, Eddie, Fitzy etc Listeners love them.

If 2GB replace Chris Smith with Steve Price they’ll regret it. Steve Price has nowhere near the grasp on the day to day issues that Chris Smith has. They’d be better off bringing John Stanley in if they must make a change but Steve Price is really only a pretender these days.

According to Izzy Falou, Alan Jones is going to hell anyway so the breakky slot might become available a bit sooner than we think…

I sincerely hope Chris Smith fights this dumb decision by management via his legal advisers. He is one of the best radio commentators on 2gb today. What a disgrace – will be at Ultimo studios Tuesday morning to protest . Keep fighting Chris – your supporters are with you.

Helen Wintle excellent post agree 100% don’t like Price is he so bias with the project and just thinks of himself as you said this would be a great move “Do not find Price worth listening to at night and often wish there was someone far better than him in that slot. Chris would certainly be better, but again, why should he be moved to satisfy Price….. in fact, put Price in the midnight slot and Michael McLaren in Prices place.”

McLaren is brilliant how Price ever got a job on 2gb is beyond me.

Sorry Not a fan of Chris Smiths – love Alan & Rays the turn 2GB off until about halfway through Ross Greenwoods show then listen to Steve Price . Chris Smiths show is a bit like a Womens Weekly episode

Well might be time to put the broom through Macquarie management because this whole chris smith matter has been dealt with disgracefully and bully boy thug Hadley gets to keep his job and bonus by default……says it all

The day has come, when you axe a presenter with 90 ratings wins, and a loyal following, to try to squeeze more out of their product, why ? Ray Hadley should have been sacked a long time ago, his is a bully and if taken to task gets away with his behaviour. Steve Roach got the flick after one incident of being a smart arse. We all have faults, why is something that’s not broken. They destroyed their only competitive station 2UE. Let’s hope they leave mini Hadley, Mark Levy there. If anything Michael Mclaren should be elevated to a day shift, he is the hope of the side….

Bloody hell , what an opportunity Brisbane. Get him to Brisbane. We have no talented or charismatic jocks in this town and most AM talkback listeners love this guy. C’mon btisbane radio or is it all controlled from dreary old Sydney

Couldn’t stand Chris Smith. Very biased and his show seemed like one big ad for something nobody wants to buy. Every time he spoke it sounded like his teeth were about to fall out. Bring back lawsy.

I things for sure & it’s nothing personal Pricey. I won’t be listening to 2GB from 12 noon now…..Which means I won’t be listening to Benny either at 3 pm.
After HADLEY…..I’m outa there. Wouldn’t want to be a sponsor during those times. If you are I’d be asking for 50% off due to the lost in listens

I’ve been away for a few days, Home now listened to Price for half hour, That was half hour of my life wasted, wont put him on again.

Chris Smith I saw your comments you made in the today show about the protest calling them dumb.
Well. Mate the only dumb person here is You everyone has the right to protest and to be heard, your comments make you look like an idiot. Wake up and do your job and investigate 5G and the vaccines actually look into it before you make your idiotic comments again..

I’m not fond of Chris Smith but he’d be better than Debra Knight she’s woeful
