Adelaide breakfast show goes as ARN cull continues
Hayley & Max has only been on air since January
ARN has axed Adelaide breakfast show “Hayley and Max” on Mix 102.3. News of the move was reported by Mediaweek as trade journalists met with ARN execs ahead of the radio network’s annual upfront event on Wednesday evening in Sydney.
The demise of Hayley Pearson and Max Burford’s show comes just days after news broke that the Robin, Kip & Corey Oates breakfast show on KIIS in Brisbane was also being cancelled
Pearson and Burford’s final show will be December 12. Both the axed shows had been in the breakfast time slot for less than a year.
In a note to staff circulated to media, ARN seemed to expressly deny the Brisbane move was a preparation for the Kyle and Jackie O show — telling staff the replacement show will be a “new, live, and local breakfast show that will be bold, entertaining, and fast moving.”
