The Pete Berner Experiment...

...sucks big time.

For those who don't know what I'm on about, The Pete Berner Experiment is what replaced Tony Martin's "Get This" on Triple M. Another talk 'n' music show - funny that, considering the reason a talk show was in place in the afternoon was what prompted the head honchos at Austereo (rapidly becoming Austerile in my opinion with the lamearse excuses for program changes lately) to pull Get This off the air.

So they put Pete Berner on at 3pm, then have Will 'n' Lehmo from 4pm for a couple of hours. Can anyone explain how the bloody hell this combo is better than Get This?? For a start, you again have two talk 'n' music shows back to back, but the combined on air total per day is now 3 hours and not 2 - and as it stands, the "Experiment" has fallen arse over tit to be honest. It's NOT funny, it contains someone giggling away at EVERYTHING Pete says in the background, and we then have to put up with the fact Get This was replaced FOR THIS???

I swear, some days I have no idea if the powers that be running that network know what the hell they're doing. The original idea I think for axing Get This was the fact they wanted to concentrate on the brekky shows and put music on in the afternoons. So if you're so intent on playing music, get rid of the lamearses you've got between 3 and 6/7pm at the moment. Your "afternoon music" premise didn't hold water at all because again now you've got two talk shows, except Get This isn't there - and it sucks, and now there doesn't seem to be a chance Get This will ever return because Ed Kavalee's now with the dregs at Nova. (I swear, what is it with brekky and drive time shows on FM that has hosts droning on and on with fuckin' giggles every 5 seconds?? Shut up and play the fuckin' music, gees!!!)

Experiment? Bullshit. Backfire? You bet.
