That was 9th April.  Since then the frequencies have been sold or given away.

Where have you read or officially heard that information?
 

There's not been a titbit of official information to state otherwise.

 

One would reasonably expect an official announcement, alas they have left stuff all MEDIA Mediums to do so.

The perfect role for us! I'd create a special slot for PFP to add a bit of fire to the show! :wub:

Have the running  order sorted Baz.

Race replays from each meeting analysing each race and betting.

Listeners phone in ( rants and first time callers)discussion on each meeting ,especially  from the grandstand jockeys and trainers. 

Slots for special guests:

Aussie hour with Trump

UK round up with Rumbo

Asian eye with Young Woodsie

Southern rap with Cubenator

Auckland angle with Barry

Waikato waffle with Barry B (Te Rapa straight) Georgie S and maybe Puddin with some Mutamuta mutterings and sales news.

A word from our sponsor Pounder,who loves a microphone by all accounts and we  could get some good fill in  time if we mention the colour red.

Did I hear someone say podcast?

Thanks Shane, this to was from around 3 weeks to a month ago and we all know things can change rapidly with this country & current situation.

 

One would hope and trust that RITA will be revising there decision making  and give a swift kick to those who created this most unfortunate situation for us and get ALL MEDIA channels and jobs back up and running for the betterment of society

Why do you say that?

There's absolutely no reasonable excuse to not be revising & reversing the decisions they made with various Covid19 levels we have had thrust in our lives in an arbitrary manner.

Indeed it's a legal requirement to return society to how it was expeditiously to how it was prior to any infectious disease outbreak.

RITA have legal obligations just like the Government & Director of Health does. - Have a read of related legislation & WHO spirit & intent as to why they exist & their obligations to.

What I just don't get is none of them have the balls to just tell us what's going on either way with any bloody thing. They probably have no idea, but surely they could present a few scenarios, no one expects miracles .. be nice if they thought about their customers. This is not new, Covid has just brought it to the surface.

3 basics of any business dealing with customers ... honesty, respect, communication. How many of those 3 can we tick off from the TAB over the years ??

Meanwhile in the UK Racing is all set to have a smooth return in the UK with the Racing Post publication and other media coverage for the 1st of June.

Wake up those who are making the silly short sighted decisions here in New Zealand.

 

 There's been no reason whatsoever to have stopped or suspended Radio Trackside & Trackside TV.

Now how much was that Grass Valley contract worth that was supposed to ensure continuity of Racing?

Another pink elephant

LETS TURN THE CLOCK BACK TO THE OLD RADIO PACIFIC , SET IT UP BROADCAST SPORT AND RACING COMMENTARIES  BY HAVING SOMEONE ON COURSE/ STADIUM. TIPSTERS ACTING INDEPENDENTLY FROM THE TAB AND HELPING PUNTERS BEAT THE BASTARDS.

THE CONCEPT WORKED SO WELL THE TAB BOUGHT THEM LAST TIME AND THE PLAYGROUND HASN'T CHANGED

Ive said that trackside radio should merge with a radio sport type setup.there is a market but limited.you need the balance to be correct so you get the best coverage,why at night have greyhounds from oz when you could have talkback

Trackside radio is a simulcast of trackside 2,a race on now at ascot park has a 5000 win pool meanwhile a race from caulfield on 1 with no radio coverage has a 60000 win pool,sure you can watch it  but gee poor radio coverage in my reckoning,anyway hopefully one day when they get going they may address the issue.
