3MP going talk
Steve Price, one time 3AW program director and later day 2UE broadcaster, will return to Melbourne where he will play a key role in establishing the new radio entity. Price who will be program director is also expected to be part of the on air team. Last week radionews.com.au heard whispers that the new station was keen to secure the services of 3AW newsreader David Armstrong.
It appears that the new talk station which will be on air early in the second quarter of the year will not provide a live AFL coverage.
Macquarie Radio Network Chairman, Russell Tate, who will also Chair the joint venture company, said in a statement that MRN had been interested in introducing a second commercial talk station to Melbourne "for some years."
"We've always believed that there is a place in the Melbourne market for two commercial talk stations, and that there is a real opportunity to present to Melbourne a broader choice of listening alternatives," he said.
There have also been rumours that Ernie Sigley may join the new station, surely to god who ever put this one out was only gagging.

You can keep your talk back radio - After listening to 3MP for many, years my mother, my sister and myself will all be changing radio stations. I was so sorry to hear Shawn saying he was leaving 3mp this morning I felt that I just had to say something. 3MP will not be the same without him - no matter what time slot he was on he was the best.

I am afraid I am with the previous people . I have listened to 3MP since it started because of the pleasant DJs and the music. I will have to change all my radios as I will not be listening any more.
I have heard some of the FM shows and can't stand the announcers language.
Haven't you heard the saying 'Dont try and fix what is not broken'
I wish all the guys the best in the future. - March 30, 2010 at 7:38 AM

I second all the other long standing listeners of 3MP. I have listened to this station since it's inception and enjoy the pleasure it gives me.As for Steve Price the best thing he ever did was to move to Sydney suggest he stays there. We don't need another bloody talk back radio in Melb. 3 AW is bad enough but just the thought of having S.P back males me want to chuck up.
