Often, yes.
More often than not when I have rung in it has been straight to live on air.
No filtering by the producer at all... interesting. Were you ringing in for competitions to be in the first nine callers (or whatever) for a competition at the time?
-
And whether or not it was competition time:
Unknowingly talking to Heath, who answered the call, Stokes requested to speak to someone off air. She was then told that she was off-air, when in actual fact her conversation was being broadcast live.
Fancy telling someone they're off-air, when they're not.
-
No, remember it isn't a main breakfast show so is fairly easy to get on. Less so when competitions are run at a point of time.
I was on the line when she rang I think and hung up when I heard they answered her.
Even when winning a comp, they take your details rather than a producer.
And they tend to know who's rinign too and often answer calls they don't recognise as "somebody new to the show"
Ring between 6 and 8 and I bet you get on air easily enbough outside of when comps are being run
-
I was thinking of Radio Sport having fewer listeners than Hauraki but always going via a producer, but I guess that's needed given the amount of talkback they get through.
I guess it's a small thing to many, but saying someone is off-air when they're not really annoys me - mainly for reasons due to my day job.
-
@Donsteppa although talkback you expect if you do get through you will likely be live on air, but even then a couple of times when I have they usually told me I will be on hold until end of ads or whatever.

They always seem to know the names of the callers straight away on some of the talkback shows - I'd figured they'd stopped to ask - unless they just have a small pool of callers
-
@Donsteppa there is 1 guy from Waikato who calls up all the time, I recognize his voice, but the 3 times I have got fed up over something and called, they asked my name and then put me on soon after saying we have TR from Whangarei.
-
There used to be a guy called Zane that was always calling radiosport and other talkback stations, would have been a handy guy to know because he seemed to be an expert on everything.
I've never understood the appeal of Jeremy Wells in anything he's done going back to the newsboy days and I defy anyone not to want to punch the face in this photo.

nd hung up when I heard they answered her.
Pretty sure it was during a snap poll (or something) too so they were just taking calls at random.
I reckon they thought it was someone kidding around for the first half of it, and even at the end of the call weren't convinced if it was actually his mum or not.

@jegga have never found Wells that annoying but the morning show is pretty devoid of comedy. Even the Rock is better despite everyone saying the same tired gags about what a creep Rog is and Jens big melons.
Bhuja is fucken good shit though.
I find the Hauraki morning show tedious in the extreme , two twats who are smug for no reason I can define. Jeremy Wells is second on my list of untalented people who would not have media careers outside of NZ narrowly behind Jaqui Brown.

how about that silly twat that Boy George hates?

@Virgil easily in the top 10 maybe top 5 . I think the seven days regulars probably deserve a category of their own, "unfunny twats who laugh at their own jokes?"
MN5 Brooke Howard Smith gets a pass from me for spending his honeymoon with his wife in Fiji building houses for Habitat for humanity , I think he's Fijian indian.
