I still reckon they should have called the new show “Morning Glory”. That would have at least gained some extra publicity.

Wake Up sounds more like an order. Is it with an exclamation mark? Wake Up!

Or is it more Wake Up?

I think they’re trying to make it sound like an orgy morning-after. “Wake Up with Tash, Tarsh and Matho.” It actually seems like they’re positioning it as breakfast radio with pictures.

Matho???
Never heard him called that before? Why the insistence of a nicknames?

I never would have thought that the ridiculous overuse of wood on a set can burn my eyes so much!
