Seems that more detail of MTR will be revealed on Wednesday. What we know so far is that Steve Price will be on breakfast from 6am - 10am, followed by Steve Vizard from 10-1pm, then reports suggest Chris Smith from 2GB will follow. I sincerely hope this is untrue as there must be other Melbourne radio "personalities" who could fill this spot. This is usually the time of day that talk stations broadcast a "lighter" program between the newsy morning programs and the drive shows. It seems drive on MTR will be filled by Martin King from ACA. Personally I am looking forward to the new station but I hope it is not entirely right wing propaganda! In my opinion the old 3AW needs a severe shakeup and hopefully MTR can provide it. I am sure MTR will get some good publicity from the Herald Sun to counter act the vitriol coming from the Age owned by the same company as 3AW (Fairfax). I would expect the Age to promote their own station but at least print facts about the new station, not their fantasies!
I am also looking forward to MTR's news service. Melbourne needs a commercial alternative to Fairfax Network news.
Will post more info re MTR on Wednesday.

When will MTR have a website so we can listen via the net. As a 2GB listener (always) now that the Rugby is here, I would like to be able to listen to MTR's weekend show as from what I can see there is no SPORT.....hooray. Being originally from the Mornington Peninsular it also will keep me in touch with my roots so to speak.
