Today FM NZ Sacks all staff

ON-AIR:(BREAKING) NZ Today FM Staff respond to closing of station…

Posted on 30 March 202330 March 2023 By earlp

‘This is betrayal’: Duncan Garner and Tova O’Brien taken off-air as Today FM faces chop…

Read the full article via TheSpinOff New Zealand (article by Toby Manhire & Stewart Sowman-Lund) – and listen to the audio – how else did management think the staff would respond in this situation?

(edit) Other coverage: RADIOINFO – NEWSHUB NewZealand – NBR NZ – The NZ HERALD – and finally – on the OFFICIAL TODAY FM SITE

I am not going to go into the details – read the articles – but it is sad to say that in that circumstance I don’t know how I would have reacted, but having been in a similar circumstance at one time in Television – yeah – we were gutted too.

Listen to the audio via the YouTube link below:

You have to feel for the staff and their families, and as they say, they were promised a 5 year plan for the station – but management lied – so you can understand the animosity.

I will leave that here – I am very angry on their behalf, and, nope… I just can’t say anymore about it.

Best of luck everyone at Today FM.
