Agreed Sam, ZM is sounding fantastic overall at the moment. There is a great energy listening to the station at the moment whether your listening on weekdays or the weekends. Didn’t realise the excellent Craig Bruce was behind it.
The Hits is in dire need of some of that magic.
The Hits sounds incredibly flat. ZM has two appointment shows at either end of the day, Hits has a laboured breakfast show (network, I mean – local shows generally sound good in breakfast) and a drive show that is passable.
What, no award for The Great Kim Blair ESQ?!
