Triple J Mornings presenter Lucy Smith and regular Double J guest host Sose Fuamoli will be taking over The Beat Report on ABC News Breakfast, alternating the slot each week.

“It’s an idea I pitched a decade ago,” Rowe recalled in December, upon announcing she won’t return to the show in 2025.

I think the senior staff of the ABC are arrogant with no respect for their listeners. They have lost me!!! Their ratings will tank. Serve them right

The new ABC bosses are wrong. They have cut the heart out of the ABC. Ringbarking is not pruning. Looking forward to their departure and repair mode begins.

No one is saying you should run media on an historical basis.
But changing things that aren’t broken and maintaining things that are, is just plain dumb mismanagement.
