Judging by the DT’s article in support of the deceased vitriol vendor Stan Zemanek, radio in Sydney isn’t at all about entertainment or information. It’s about personalities and egos. Not being a commercial radio fan or listener, I think it’s all rather sad that personal hatreds can be aired openly on commercial radio, with relevant management adopting nothing more than a ‘tsk, tsk’ attitude to their so-called ‘stars’ using air time to abuse and insult each other, let alone anyone else in the real world.
It’s why I much prefer the ABC. More informative, less personal and a whole lot more rational.
