Ash Bradnam leaves Nova
Posted March 11th, 2010 by debritz
Meshel Laurie has confirmed on Twitter that Ash Bradnam has left Brisbane's Nova 106.9. Laurie replied "Yep" when asked by Twitterer @iMatt93 if this was the case because only she and Tim Blackwell now appeared on the station's website. Bradnam only rejoined the station's breakfast program recently after a hiatus in which he entered rehab following his arrest and subsequent conviction for drink-driving last year. Nova's breakfast show lost its long-held No.1 spot to B105's Labby, Camilla and Stav in the first ratings survey for 2010. Laurie said via Twitter direct message that she could comment no further.
Disclosure: Brett Debritz is heard on 612ABC's Breakfast with Spencer Howson program, which is joint No.1 in breakfast with B105.
They actually announced it on the news yesterday afternoon (that was the first I had heard anyway) and they did the same thing again on the 8:30 news this morning.
Not sure about your comment that Bradnam had recently rejoined - they had Dave Thornton on until the day after the first survey results were released (coincidence?) and boring Tonie Carroll has been on the last 2 weeks. They really need to find someone permanent.
OK. I understand that, but apparently a lot of people didn't know about it - as evidenced by the huge number of hits this story had in a very short time. What I should acknowledge, though,is that it was a question on Twitter from @iMatt93 that alerted me to this. Also, my reference to him rejoining the station was to the act that he was featured on the web page, but now he isn't.
