 Big gamble for #Brisbane-based 4BC #radio - no more Ray Hadley. And, Ray doesn't even get to say goodbye.

Ray is #1 in his slot, so I wonder how much of this is a vanity "live and local" play - it clearly isn't driven by audience figures, unless, of course, Ray's demographics are out of kilter of the station's.

 I learn that this also replaces all of Ray Hadley across Queensland; across the many stations that take it. Big news for Brisbane radio, at a time when consolidation is the thing, rather than localisation.
