Newstalk would have to be happy with the individual performances, with the Breakfast Show the only slot under scrutiny dropping back. Over the surveys the slot has been a myriad of musical chairs and thus different individuals trying to make their mark. On the bright site both Moncrieff and Dunne could be call to top of the class for a ‘star’.
The station’s biggest draw, Hook, added more listeners and the debacle that was off the ball still hasn’t been decided. The programme dropped 15% over the survey, four months of which was with the new format – post resignations. So, they ex’s would have to shoulder a fair chunk of that drop.
