Game Changers Radio

• Ash to Ashes

  A wild week in radio: within minutes of last week’s pod, Ash Bradnam quit Nova Brisbane and Jimmy walked from 2DayFM. Two shock exits, two big mysteries. We break down what makes sense, what doesn’t, and what it means for 2026 — including why SCA will be cheering in Brisbane and why 2Day’s next move needs to start with the station format, not the breakfast show. Then it’s our final Magnificent 7 of the year — the seven radio moments that defined 2025, from Lu & Jarch’s MMM debut to Christian O’Connell going national to JJJ’s Top 100 - it’s all here and you get to decide on the biggest radio moment of the year.
