But while he said 2UE was "below where we'd like it to be", Mr Mott denied he was willing to spend $5m to lure Hadley -- who regularly attracts more than 17 per cent of the audience -- to the struggling station in either the breakfast or morning shifts. "I do laugh when I hear figures like $5m," he said. Full story The Australian
