Rove & Sam exit, with McManus telling listeners ‘Don’t come looking for us Monday. We won’t be here’
2Day FM’s failed experiment of pairing veteran presenter Rove McManus with former The Bachelor contestant Sam Frost finally came to an end on Friday night.
In a low key ending to their final show together in which there were no farewells until the final 90 seconds, McManus told listeners: “That brings us to the end of Rove and Sam. Don’t come looking for us Monday. We won’t be here. We’re going to the farm.”
Rove and Sam: ‘We’re going to the farm’
The duo’s national 7-8pm Rove & Sam show across Southern Cross Austereo’s Hit Network lasted for just five months.
Another case of SCA throwing solutions at the wall and seeing what sticks instead of looking for actual talent. This pairing was never going to work because Sam is awful talent and Rove is seemingly past his use by date.
I agree that the pairing of Rove and Sam was never going to work. I’m just wondering when the people at the top, who make these decisions re breakfast etc, are going to accept the ultimate prize and bow out before they waste much more of shareholders money trying to fix the problem. It seems the presenters keep on getting the chop but the people who are approving/making all of these decisions stay in their jobs. How much is too much for the board and shareholders?
At least it’s not as bad as when Scary Spice called up by phone…
Surely we can just replace all the presenters with a bot that reads out celebrity tweets and randomly plays from a pre-programmed list of 12 songs?
“Well hot dog, we have a weiner!”
