One thing I did notice, was despite him being the main "host" of the
show, it still felt like a team (The Cage, etc...) type format, where
input from Majella and others were needed to help kick things along.
But again - I did like the show... and the station overall... hmmm,
wondering if they are hiring?
CrowdedHouse (Having duck for Christmas dinner... yum)
This is quite a shame. I enjoyed his comments, especially those
compliments he aired about me last week. I didn't hear it live
unfortunately, but am told they were very kind words and all I can say
is, thanks very much for the mention - much appreciated.
I really don't know why professional broadcasters would waste time
airing comments about the radio industry as I thought the audience
wasn't interested, but it provides hours of laughter to those who do
follow it.
Certainly provided a great laugh for all those at The Listener's
Christmas function held recently. My guests and I can only hope that
the new b'fast team continue to provide such stools of audio foolsgold
for next year.
I'd like to take this opportunity to wish a merry Christmas to David
Greenwood, Wayne, good ol Moffee (you're a trooper mate, keep up the
good work) and of course the lovely Majella who was ever so courteous
to me. All the best for 2007.
The Listener
haha I like how you try and turn it around marcus
I just happen to hear these particular "comments" and they went something
like this:
"if there is a marcus fitzgerald listening to this radio station dont call
here again dont call this radio program again we talk to real people not
losers like you, if you call again ill rip off your head and defecate down
your throat"
yeah real kind words marcus... he is right thou.. you are a loser

If your referring to waynes metion of you then here is some news for you
marcus.. YOU DONT WORK IN THE RADIO INDUSTRY therefore it was just about a
radio groupy loser (that would be you marcus)
as for him leaving I think there is a bit confusion.. I rang majella this
morning and she told me that wayne isnt leaving but is going on holidays
over the christmas new year period.
Once again.. Rumours rumours rumours
This is true and I did so because to devote such airtime to those
comments is very amusing and self indulgent of River staff. More fool
those involved, not me.

Thanks ### for transcribing that off your logger. It really was a
foolsgold medal moment of radio. This wasn't anyone who left mics on by
mistake but an active effort and therefore even more interesting.

Oooooh, scary words. You should know by now that words are all water
off a duck's back to me.
In the words of the Qld Govt gambling advisory campaign: "don't let the
game play you". I've enjoyed playing and your reply has proved on its
own that you've been played.
How long has 'Goldie' been on River949? Hmmmm, why is he so bitter
about such things. I mean, perfect opportunity for him to ask his dad
to do the same thing as Wayne on his 2SM b'fast show. Please, go right
ahead, it's the lack of professionalism on those who broadcast such
matters, certainly not mine. I am not the one publicly airing dirty
linen on the radio to the wide public audience. Keep on replying here,
I've had my piece and walk away confident myself.

As I've typed before here, I don't have any comment, haven't discussed
those rumours.
> Once again.. Rumours rumours rumours
I don't know why you're so upset, don't sweat the small stuff and try
to have a merry Christmas. Hopefully someone will pray for you.

God I hope not. I'm just starting to enjoy the sleep.
It's a pretty good gig for the right person (or people) given the
station is heard throughout SE Qld - from the Gold Coast to the
Sunshine Coast, west to Toowoomba and in Brisbane - not to mention the
area it's licenced for - Ipswich - which is growing at a truly
phenomenal rate and will continue to do so for at least the next 20
years. Just look at the plans for Ripley and what's happening at
Springfield and nearby.
Before everyone admonishes me for saying that, I know River is only
licenced for Ipswich and immediate surrounds to the north and south,
but the simple fact is that many people outside that area listen to the
station - like it or not.
Now if only the Federal Government would fix the Ipswich Motorway......
it's easily the most dangerous road in Australia..... yet one of the
busiest, too. What's the hold-up, seriously?
Sooooo true mike ohh so true.

anyone else wanna listen to his piss poor radio professionalism

i was shocked to read the remark marcus.
Sheeks !!!!! Im a believer in karma and what people dish out
boomerangs back
There are so many bright young talented people who could give River a
fresh new young sound in 2007 at breakfast. David Greenwood. !!!!
Brisbane has heaps of em.
Even Shane Warne has no probs like thorpy in calling it quits.
There comes a time like I did at 55 (Im 62 now) where you retire
gracefully and find other things.... like growing tomatoes and playing
with my rotating satelite tv dish and annoying people here..
Wayne who I always regarded with admiration is near the final curtain
but Marcus has a whole lot of life and I know a great radio career
ahead. Broadcast Law? A a new public company to buy radio stations ? At
his pleasure
Merry Cmas Marcus and all!!!
What is it. ? Those who the Gods wish to destroy........
you have to be joking.. I think your getting delusional you poor old
bastard. Marcus is a serial pest and a BIG shit pimple hanging on the ass of
the radio industry.
Anybody who would be stupid enough to have that gossip loud mouthed idoit at
their station would have to have rocks in their head!
He doesnt have a future in radio.. just a future annoying radio stations and
radio people on newsgroups and other means
all you people that sit there and feed him information to cause kaos for
your current and former employer and work mates beware, althou you might
think its fun oneday the shoe will be on the other foot and YOU will be the
one "being played" as the marcus the moron so elegantly put it.
anybody who feeds this guy information should wake up to themselves and snap
out of your "days of our lives" fantasy world
why anybody would entertain this loser blows my mind.. there must be alot of
radio people out there in need of friends!
As for waynes comments, it sounded like to me that marcus was harassing on
air personalities..(again) perhaps if he wasnt such a pest then maybe he
wouldnt enrage people enough to broadcast negative comments.
I know if he annoyed me I proberly would of done the same, So dont sit there
and carry on about unprofessional behaviour.. wayne did what any other onair
personality would of done and quite frankly I think more radio people should
do.. TELL THE DICKHEAD TO GO AWAY
Naw.... you seem to be the one in need of friends if we judge opinion
by the thread theres about 6 pro Listener posts here already and I
cant see any in line with yours and River FM and Mr Roberts defamatory
and hateful abuse of marcus. on radio and here on usenet .It certainly
was and is specific !!
Are you saying the shareholders and management of River approve their
transmitter being used in this way for a personal hate message when a
polite message could have been conveyed by phone. ?
Not Broadcast to all of SE Queensland and spammed all over the net by
you in this public place. If River FM as the principal and you and Mr
Roberts have some dislike of the Listener tou should send him an email
not spread it wide for all and lessen his reputation
I Dont know how old you are or what station you work at but the 35-44
age group
who comprise the bulk of the River Listeners certainly wouldnt. approve
Print out your Post and show it to your your manager and ask what he
thinks.
Marcus is one of the most highly regarded radio industry journalists.
He has contributed over 2500 Items here and this IS a Radio News group.
A possible vacancy
at River is a story worth calling about. Maybe Mr Roberts outburst was
borne out of insecurity if marcus called about that .
Not unique in this industry
Maybe he is not leaving ( Hows his ratings? - is river included in the
brisbane survey?)
and Marcus touched a raw nerve.
The station and Mr Roberts should make a public apology and so should
you
for your defamatory abuse all because he was just doing his job.
Charlie ( Fernando L. Arredondo ) about your post concerning marcus
Do You work in IT or Radio ?
Or Do you look after radio websites,
Just curious,
Many of use our real names here.
Or a Radio website? If so Which station ?
Amen

Whilst I don't agree with what Wayne did on air (yes Marcus, I'm sort
of your side with this one), Marcus has tried to lessen the reputation
of alot more radio people than have tried to lessen his. Let's get a
bit of perspective on this.
> The station and Mr Roberts should make a public apology and so should

> for your defamatory abuse all because he was just doing his job.
His job? Does Marcus get payed for his smatterings of shit? I didn't
think so. Last time I looked, Jocks Journal wasn't advertising any
positiions for Station Gossip.
.......And more to the point, I think Wayne's outburst, whilst I don't
agree with him airing it, was a case of somebody sick to death of
someone without a job telling us with jobs how to bloody do our job. I
can take take constructive critisism from anybody. I welcome it. But
not from someone who has never done my job.
Exactly, that's what this newsgroup is for since it's unmoderated. All
radio industry sites compliment each other.
Thread has really lost any interest of radio news value now however and
posts subesquent from the topic last night have only focussed on
personal comments and metadiscussions about the newsgroup.
The Listener
Oh I think youll find there is more then 6 people who agree with me about
marcus the gossiping girl.. Just ask around to see how many people have been
on the receiving end of his Rumour shitstick.. infact im sure they will post
once reading this thread

Why should anybody do the right thing by marcus he doesnt care about the
validity of messages he air's on this newsgroup ?
why should anybody send him an email when he never "sends emails" about
rumours he hears..he just waves his shitstick, as for reputation.. his
reputation is already rooted..
> Marcus is one of the most highly regarded radio industry journalists.
lol according to who? you? If you believe that you must be F**ked in the
head.
I know its hard to believe but there is a difference between a serial pest
and a journo

nah not possible this rumour didnt exsist when marcus called river.. for all
we know he proberly started the rumour!

Nah the creep deserves everything he gets, his job? to harass people cause
grief and kaos for radio employees?? thats the only job I see.. he doesnt
get paid to be a pest
on the other hand wayne and majella where doing their job.. something both
of them have done for atleast the last 30 years.. proberly longer then
marcus has been alive.
You have to ask yourself the question.. what makes somebody of waynes
experience do what he did.. I bet you this idoit harassed and harassed them
more then a door to door insurance salesmen, I bet you that if I continually
harassed any onair personality eventually they would do what wayne did.
I have no sympathy for marcus, over the last 8 years that I know of he has
shitcanned spread rumours and caused alot of grief for peoples employment
and life
I know if I ever cross paths with him that there will be 2 car rides
happening.. marcus to the hospital and me to the cop station
"Alright you lot, take it outside"

That's just it, Marcus IS NOT A JOURNALIST! Even if there was a
vacancy, River or anyone else for that matter don't have to tell him
shit. The reason Marcus called in the first place was to tell the
breakfast crew gossip about a certain person. I'm not going to post the
exact details here because that would make me as bad as that little
shit-stain. The point is: A. Marcus isn't a journo. B. He doesn't post
stories, he posts unsubstantiated gossip. C. He contacts radio stations
to tell them shit that has nothing to do with him or the people he
contacts. Hmmm.... serial pest..... Well put Charlie. Maybe the Federal
Govt can put some of that budget surplus aside for an eradication
program......
Exactly.

The funny part about all of this is that Wayne Roberts is still
employed and Marcus is still a fucking idiot.
didnt marcus just make a call to ask a simple question as any
journalist would
KeithA at ZFM Net Radio (http://www.zfm.com.au) and
As i said before. he isnt a journalist.. just fly that buzz's around radio
looking for some shit to land on..
If you think otherwise keith then that just makes you a bigger dickhead then
him.
> didnt marcus just make a call to ask a simple question as any
> journalist would
Once again, MARCUS IS NOT A JOURNALIST. He is a festering pimple on the
arse of the radio industry, that one day, someone is going to pop. No
he didn't make a call to ask a simple question as he would have all you
loyal followers of the gospel of Marcus believe. He called to relay
some information he had on a staff member. The only reason he called
was to try to stir shit and get that staff member in the shit. He
didn't call once, but, 4 or 5 times, after being told to fuck off the
first time. Marcus has been rejected by just about every commercial
radio station in South East Queensland and he sees this forum as a way
of getting back at the 'man'. He's not a journo. He's sour. Sour that
an industry he loves doesn't want him.
