Melbourne's Mix FM looks likely to break with usual breakfast radio tradition and deviate from the unofficial One Lady Policy (OLP). The OLP has only been broken once before in Melbourne in recent years when Vega cobbled together a team at the time of the launch. The original Vega breakfast team consisted of three very talented performers (Denise Scott, Beverly O'Connor, Shaun Micallef) who had absolutely no chemistry together.
More thought has gone into Mix FM's 2008 line up which is rumoured to include three former Austereo personalities. The trio will be replacing the poorly performing double act of Tracey Bartram and Tim Smith.
In other news, George McEncroe finished up a three-year stint with The Cage last Friday. Some of her highlights can be heard here. McEncroe's final show celebrated the end of the season with an outside broadcast and the launch of the Youngcare Apartments. Plenty of well-wishers posted their adoration on George's Blog and hundreds turned up to bid her farewell but McEncroe knew she had made it when a very special guest arrived. Not content to interrupt Ashes Cricket Matches, the Melbourne Cup and Michael Hutchence's funeral serial pest Peter Hoare dropped in to interrupt proceedings in his own inimitable way.
In other radio news:
Triple J have decided on a new female breakfast co-host to replace Myf Warhurst. Expect an announcement next week.
Vega's breakfast team is still unsettled with former Big Brother housemate and DMG favourite Chrissie Swan a very likely starter. Dave O'Neil is apparently still considering whether he will continue with the station.
Age columnist and professional Melbourne shit-stirrer Catherine Deveny will be filling in for Richard Stubbs in the afternoon 1-3pm slot from 3 December for two weeks.
Andrew Bolt sent the following message in for Deveny:

the last thing we need in melbourne is more catherine deveney. I will definitely never listen to that leftwing idiot.
Shaun Micallef never belonged with the crude and unfunny Dave O'Neil, a man who actually wrote a book called "Everything Tastes Better Crumbed".
Cos, ya know, that's all Aussie blokes eat.
Also, I happen to like Catherine Deveney. What she said about McLeod's Daughters was totally true.
Anon - the last thing we need are more right wing idiots.
JS Iagree, I think Catherine is great. Although I also like Dave O'Neil - can we still be friends?
