I've been listening to Triple M for a while now. I spent a long time in the car during 06 and 07 and got used to and enjoyed the morning, afternoon and some of the day shows. Now there is nothing worth listening too. They started with introducing Wil and Lame-o to the drive spot. A terribly un-funny pair who strike comedy gold infrequently, and when they do, beat the shit so far out of the joke that by the time they are finished with it it must feel like it's dating Wayne Carey. To think we lost out on the Shebang in Melbourne this! Marty Shergold and Fifi box where unprofessional and unprepared, but at least they where funny. Marty's contempt for everything always got a laugh.

And now this year they have ditch the Cage for a pair that is even less funny than Anderson and his bitch. Not only that, triple M has dropped Get This. The greatest radio show since Martin Malloy, to cover their huge salaries! The first 2 weeks of Mif and Hellier has been so poor that I don't think I will ever listen to triple M again bar the football.
 
I haven't listened to Myf and Helliar but they couldn't be that bad. I actually like Helliar and i remember when he had his radio show on the FOX network it was pretty good. I am considering tuning into his podcasts soon too.

Anyway well MMM got rid of Paul Murray and Millie which sucked but at least they still have the spoonman, which isn't funny but very informative.

Paul Murray was actually alright but he they got the arse.

Wil Anderson and sidekick lehmo are about as funny as cancer (affecting someone you like anyway).

Now the cage and get this are gone...?

I gave no idea what's going on with Triple M promotions and management. Next thing they will make the 'brilliant' decision and get rid of the footy coverage and focus solely on golf commentary or something.

MMM - crap.

The cage is no longer around. Peter Hellier and Myf are in that slot.

Pretty sure suzi olsen was no longer around either, funnily enough, that cancer keeps coming back.

Yep, I no longer listen to TripleM either.

Peter Hellier and Myf has to be some of the worst radio I've ever listened to. Both have the charisma of pond scum. Just dreadful. Endured them for a week on the way to work... never again.

I actually used to like The Cage, not the best radio show ever but with blokes like Matt Parkinson and Peter Berner you were guaranteed a few good laughs. These guys are intelligent, very quick, articulate and knew how to entertain. The others I could take of leave... to me they added very little to the show.

As for them boning Get This and keeping Wil and Lehmo in the drive slot... makes absolutely no sense.

Not surprised at all. I'm a Triple J listener and she essentially just got by on her cute giggle and personality. When introduced to breakfast radio with Jay and Lindsey she was appalling - simply the token giggle girl.

I didn't think her foray into commercial would be a particular success...she wasn't even the best female host at the J's with Zan Rowe and Linda Marigliano better then her and her replacement Marieke Hardy is superb.
 
I quite liked Myf on JJJ.

Is it her who is the problem or is it Hellier ?


Myf was great at doing what she does best, talking about music. JJJ and Spicks and Specks.

The trouble IS pete Hellier. The guy is simply not funny. Not only that, it takes him two tries to spit out any given joke, how is he expected to talk for two-three hours. He is a barely functional, mumbling moron!

Dave and Kate aren't much better. I would love to hear just once Dave finish saying something without that shrieking slag butting in on him, or making ludicrous statements about current events that are even close to the truth. She is the most annoying person on the radio.

I have actually been enjoying dave O'Neill, Dicko and Chrissy on Vega. If not them, the only thing I listen to now is SEN.

The trouble with FM radio today is they are taking the funny comediens, who have excelled at their stand up gigs and cameo appearances. Then forcing them to try be funny for two hours, every day. It does not work. Comedians need time to come up with great material, now they just come up with nonsense. and worst of all, when you see them live, all you get is a rehash of the crap they have spoken on Radio.

FM radio mostly Sucks!!! :thumbsdown:

Triple M has been a joke for a while. Paul Murray at night on his own was good and he played some good songs. The rest of it......yawn. The Shebang is not funny and Will Anderson has never been funny.
 
I haven't listened to a second of TripleM since they axed Get This. Probably the worst programming decision in the history of radio.

Peter Helliar is indirectly responsible for the death of Get This, therefore he deserves to die.
Yep, not only that but the fact he is unfunny. I hope this Myf/Helliar show doesn't last the year and MMM make a big loss - that would be karma for the axing of Get This.

Any word whether another station will pick it up? Seems a very long shot now, although Tony said he was shopping around late last year.

I agree, The Cage wasn't the greatest show going around but it had some good moments and funny banter, just what you want from a morning radio show. The idiocy of Brigitte was good for a laugh, as well as hearing from JB, Parko and Berner, who were professional and knew how to host a radio show. Fair enough that they had to part ways, it was only to ensure that the formula didn't get too stale.

Wil and Lehmo are also terrible, as were Chas and Dom from the Chaser when they were on their summer stint a year ago. I guess what someone in this thread said about comedians using their best material elsewhere rings true.
 
Not always. Back when Richard Stubbs was doing breakfast was when MMM was at it's best.
You're showing your age there but I agree :)

In fact you could probably go as far back as the D-Gen. Used to love listening to them in the morning on the way to school. Wayne from St. Albans was a pisser!
