What's happening at 106.3 Breakfast???

I note that the much fan fare accompanied Pete and Biggzy for Breakfast is seemingly no more.

Does anyone know what transpired there?

From my limited listening to them, I did feel that they didn’ actually get on that well.

Seems 106 has a bit of a habit of not checking the ‘chemistry’ of their breakfast show hosts before they thrust them onto the air, Mark and (former Capital news/weather host), Mark and Lisa, Cam and Lisa and now Pete and Biggzy.

Seems to me a bit of product testing and compatatbility testing might not go astray before proclaiming a new combo.

I don’t see as many 106 stickers on cars any more. It used to be such an easy way to spot boring people.

Now you just look out for My Family stickers.

JJJ, ABC AM (Radio National or ABC Canberra) or Podcasts for me,

Why anyone would waste their time listening to advertisements, unfunny banter and crap pop music is beyond me. The unfunny banter and crap music also means the Js are a rarity.

+1, i don’t know why anyone would bother.

Yes you can (not an Obama punn).. They all have My Family stickers now. Same taste, different theme. Puke!

They were as boring as hell, and talked way, way too much. why do they keep putting women with hard voices and moronic opinions on the radio? They should go back to just playing music and the daily traffic jam report (which they evidently make up as it bears no resemblance to realilty), and forgot inflicting “personalities” on us.

It’s not a bad thing, My wife stopped listening to 106.3 in the morning. The music was better than 104 but that Biggzy chick is an opinionated, narrow-minded, intolerant waste of oxygen.

Totally agree, also there was obvious tension in one of their very first promos..Biggzy was an irritant from the very start..zero chemistry with Pete.

I wish I could find a shower radio that did internet radio, then there would be no

Reptoids?

William McGonnagal poetry?

For shame! I’ll put up with a lot of crap, but I won’t have the works of The Bard mocked like this! qbngeek was obviously killed by accidentally tuning in to a broadcast of the Collected Wisdom of Tony Abbot. It would only take a few milliseconds to kill an average sized man. qbg claimed to be a big fella, so he may have suffered for several seconds…

I’ve become my parents and now listen to 666 on the radio in the morning and on the way to work.

Other than that it is my USB stick in the car (Nice one Ford Fiesta)

what sound does a usb stick in the car make? tk-tk-tk-tk-tk-tk-tk-tk-tk-tk-tk-tk-tk-tk-tk-tk-tk-tk-tk-tk-tk-tk-tk-tk-tk-tk-tk-tk-tk-tk-tk-tk-tk-tk-tk-tk-tk-tk-tk-tk-tk-tk-tk-tk-tk-tk-tk-tk-tk-tk-tk-tk-tk-tk-tk-tk-tk-tk-tk-tk-tk-tk-tk-tk-tk-tk-tk-tk-tk-tk-tk-tk-tk-tk-tk-tk-tk-tk-tk-tk-tk-tk in the spokes or something??

Were you just stabbed to death à la Hitchcock?

It should have said ‘no need for FM or AM at all’

If I was stabbed I would probably fall forward adn all you would get is ‘then there would be no gbbbbbbbbbbbehsw/”Zvnhlhlhlhlhlhlhlhlhlhlhlhlhler;aiughjm’ BTW that was me putting my face on my keyboard 🙂

I switched to JJJ but the music in the morning has gone really odd lately, even more odd than usual for JJJ.

My little old shower radio only gets a few stations these days – 104, 106 and JJJ. The FM/AM switch doesn’t work anymore so I am stuck with those three. I tend to flick between them and I am never really happy with them. The alarm clock is on the same station or it can get confusing as you move from room to room.

Everywhere else int he house we have internet radio, and I have it on my phone which plugs into the car adn into my speakers at work. That means I can listen to 1.FM Hihg Voltage adn Chronix Radio Agression everywhere else…..metal radio stations ftw.

yeah – have to admit i have switched it off lately and listen to nothing – but today i have switched to TripleM Melbourne which I listened to when living there – much better hosts and no stupid unfunny jokes & “best bits” that were never funny that are replayed endlessly…

capn_pugwash said :

I love the 3pm pickup though – they are really funny.

You’re not serious are you?

I’ve just started listening to 2CA because 104 and 106 are just so pathetic.

People still listen to “breakfast radio”?

I was surprised too. I thought it was something that only played in taxis.

capn_pugwash10:12 am 15 Nov 11

biggsy is good but pete is just too young & too little life experience – this is a channel playing older music, mostly appealing to older people – so a 25yr old is going to struggle to connect with the listeners. I love the 3pm pickup though – they are really funny.

I was listening the other day and it was Joe and Bigsey? Was that Joe from the Black Thunder?
I used to listen to them in the morning but yeah, too much talk, not enough music. When I’m driving to work I don’t want to listen to a couple of people trying to sound funny. At least Cam and Lisa were funny. I think I’ll get an Mp3 player for the car.

Crap in, crap out.

It’s not a bad thing, My wife stopped listening to 106.3 in the morning. The music was better than 104 but that Biggzy chick is an opinionated, narrow-minded, intolerant waste of oxygen.
