Something which wasn’t really a […]

It’s been a big 2018. A move to Perth, a new station, new workflows and most definitely a new challenge! With a new year at hand, it meant new TOHs for the guys in Perth. Nova 937 relied on jingles with the breakfast guys, which didn’t really suit their style. And so the new year […]
