Hit Network drops Scoopla and extends Hamish & Andy show in evening programming reshuffle
Scoopla’s axing ends Freedman and Lund’s on-air partnership
Southern Cross Austereo’s Hit Network has overhauled its evening schedule, dropping Jules Lund and Emma Freedman’s The Scoopla show and extending Hamish & Andy’s drive program for an extra hour.
Lund, who co-hosted the ill-fated 2DayFM breakfast show in 2014 alongside Merrick Watts, Sophie Monk and Mel B, will now take up a strategic role working on digital marketing initiatives with agencies and advertisers in the business.
His co-host on the Scoopla, Emma Freedman, has already been named as a new host of an as-yet-to-be-revealed evening show with Angus O’Loughlin, to replace the recently axed Shazam Top 20 program.
Poor Jules Lund- cannot get a gig. Should have stayed with Getaway
The sad thing is, Jules Lund is actually excellent radio talent but they keep pairing him with morons
I don’t know why Georgie & Danny see this as a bad thing or a demotion for Jules. He is genuinely interested in the digital things to the point that he recently launched his own agency.
mmmmm…if you don’t stick with it you won’t get an outcome.
Too many knee jerks are undermining a real opportunity here.
Coke Monster, I don’t see it as a demotion and he would obviously be happy with his new position. My comment was, giving a listener’s point of view, saying that he is very easy on the ear but his shows become unlistenable because of the “talent” that he gets paired with
All good comments so far.
With those blue eyes Jules should have stuck to TV. His eyes are wasted on radio.
