Meanwhile at 2CA…

Another shakeup is in progress.

Simon Pulis, Paul Blunt and Leighton Archer [1]

Morning presenter Simon Pulis (holding the camera to the left of the photo above) is entering his final week with the station, he will be replaced next year by ex Mix 104.9 Darwin announcer/music director Gerry Nyein (don’t ask me how to pronounce it…I think voiceover man Ron E. Sparks will also need guidance on that one). Oddly enough, Mix 104.9 is a John Laws network station, and Gerry will be competing with Laws as 2CA’s morning presenter.

Apparently, Simon Pulis is moving back to Sydney, he isn’t the first person from Capital Radio to do that this year, as newsreader James Creegan did the same thing.

The rest of the movements involve breakfast boys Paul Blunt and Leighton Archer.

Leighton (on the right) has taken over as 2CA’s program director from Drive presenter and music director Gregg Easton. For Capital Radio, PD and MD have both been juggled positions…in other words, you juggle your on-air and off-air roles, so the following job advertisement should make it pretty clear what else is happening.

Any news yet on the 2007 breakfast team? Words is that they have had “loads of applications”.

And I note that Gregg Easton has “left to pursue other interests”. Who is the tip to replace him?
