Did they give any reason? I'm a bit surprised about that, considering how many people listen to Simon's program on that station.

No not really might be because Spirit's competitor Radiowest airs a magazine style format so they might want to differentiate themselves from that. I've done a few weekend shifts down there!

Bob Francis is the same in Adelaide on Five AA. famous for calling a listener a dick brain!

I love listening to Bob Francis. Now there is a man who tells it like it is

I hate it when everyone has to be so politically correct and polite about things. If someone is a dickhead, then people should be able to say it. Most listeners were probably thinking it, so a presenter saying it isn't a bad thing.

Former ABC News presenter Deborah Kennedy finishes on 6PR today

She is leaving the media industry and is apparently going to have a stint at running a business.

A very talented and clear reader and presenter and it is just another loss for the WA media industry.

I did read something about her actually staying on at the station - but in some other role? (unsure)

For those who are interested, here is an audio highlights package I have put together of Deb's last day with 6PR.

+ Deborah Kennedy's last day with 6PR (16.4mb MP3)
Right-click link and use the "Save Target As" option to download

I have included her last full radio news bulletin (starting at 5:03) and you can hear a short discussion about me possibly being Deb's cousin at 4:47 too

He's one of their fill-in presenters. Can't stand listening to him

Most of the main presenters are off at this time of year.
