Now that he's leaving #TodayFM, maybe Ed will join us here on Mastodon. Time for me to find a new radio station now
Big congratulations to all of the on-air presenters on #TodayFM just now for managing to get the weather forecast read out before the ShitBantz (instead of after it, as usual).
First search result on DDG for "Shit Bantz" is this:

Just curious, does anyone know what is the current #todayfm #goloud #cashmachine amount and when is the next call date?
Major screwup by #TodayFM at noon today.
Crashed their own news bulletin with a #NewsTalk news bulletin, ran an ad OK, ran the weather sponsor ident OK, and then skipped the actual weather report, and straight in to the promo for their premium-rate text-message gambling 'machine'.
Then back to regular programming, with no apology.
Today FM recently won a number of awards for its digital news and current affairs productions. All of these went offline when the station's owners abruptly shut it down after only about a year on the air. This is a good example of why we need properly-funded public media organisations. We simply can't rely on profit-seeking corporations to do public interest media work, nor to keep it available for posterity if they do:
I didn’t expect #DuncanGarner to be back on social media after the nastiness on #TheBirdSite. He quit 7 years ago because of it. I’m enjoying his podcast, #DuncanGarner #EditorInChief. I posted about #Mastodon on one of his #Facebook #Posts, because he is a journalist that built me up when he was on #TodayFM and #TheAMShow, because he is fighting for New Zealanders and big issues. Now I hope he #JoinMastodon, however, the accounts on the other platforms must’ve been created by #MediaWorks #Team.
TodayFM was MediaWorks' only news and current affairs service, yet it's been canned, despite getting close to covering costs after only one year on the air:

The shutdown of Today FM is Mediaworks admitting its best days are behind it
I guess they shut it down today because it was the last day of the month, and it works better for the beancounters. Just imagine if they did it tomorrow April 1st.😀
My afternoon is feeling very empty right now. It was @explorergrace and #TodayFM kept me calm during #CycloneGabrielle, keeping me updated all night and day. https://youtube.com/watch?v=rY4Z7wCxxBE&feature=share
Two instances of #AblestLanguage on #NewsHub #Live #6PM and #TodayFM during the 4 pm news bulletin discussing #PoseyParker #Case. People are up in arms regarding #LGBTQPlusRights, yet pejorative terms with #Blind, and #Deaf, still went to air!
#TodayFM isn’t giving equal coverage to the #WhiteFerns as they do the #BlackCaps, with #commentary on the #Rova #app only, asking #Alexa says she can’t find it!
Need to clear out the Rolodex! That on caught me out today! 💔 #tonyfenton #dj #todayfm #rip
