Triple M’s Rush Hour Adelaide to finish at the end of 2024
Reporter
The axe has fallen on Triple M’s top rating Adelaide Drive show, with The Rush Hour – hosted by Andrew Jarman, Bernie Vince and Greg Blewett – to finish at the end of this year.
Jarman, Vince and Blewett were reportedly informed of the decision on Tuesday, with Blewett telling The Advertiser (subscription required) “It doesn’t make sense to any of us.”
“Obviously our show was going great and we were rating really well but it’s a management decision in regards to the business.”
“Unfortunately we’re the ones that have to pay the price.”
The show was #1 in its timeslot in the most recent radio ratings.
Just last year, Jarman celebrated 21 years on-air at Triple M.
It’s yet to be confirmed whether the show will make way for a syndicated Melbourne version, hosted by James Brayshaw and Billy Brownless.
The Advertiser reports the program will be off-air for the rest of the week, and that, in a statement, SCA thanked Jarman, Blewett and Vince for their incredible contributions, saying further detail regarding the 2025 Drive show will be provided in due course.

When even the top rating shows get the boot, what really is the hope for the rest of us?
I love this industry but a career at the Maccas Drive thru offers more job security…
and you wonder why radio is dying ?
Dumb, very Dumb.
The race to the bottom continues.
If you are not part of Sydney or Melbourne you just become a relay station.
@Peter
Radio isn’t dying, Radio jobs are dying.
I’ve been in the radio industry for 46 years and one of the biggest changes I’ve seen in the industry is staffing levels.
It’s all about money folks.
I often think to myself that I’ve seen the best of radio in my youth.
What a load of b…shit! Listen to this every day. Maybe they should sack management! Good luck boys in the future, one door shuts, another opens. Mgnt have no regard for anyone!
