ABC stalwarts "Rampaging" Roy Slaven and HG Nelson are leaving the national broadcaster for the world of commercial radio.
Triple J confirmed in a statement last night that after 22 years of presenting iconic programs such as This Sporting Life, Festival Of The Boot and Golden Ring Show, the pair have quit the station
Triple J manager Linda Bracken says they will be sadly missed.
"They are more than a radio program, they have become their own radio comedy genre," she said in a statement.
"It's been a joy and a privilege to work with them."
Triple M have reportedly signed the larrikins for the drive slot on Mondays and Fridays - pitting them against popular duo Hamish Blake and Andy Lee.

That would be because the profit motive, instead of dedication to Australian culture, sucks the life and originality out of the stuff. Also, commercial audiences are lowest common denominator stuff. Just dig up a back yard and put a few pot plants in. That'll keep them interested. Nothing is impervious to the destructive tendencies of commercial crap tv executives.
Advertising on the ABC would be highly lucrative. Commercial stations know it's what advertisers want as the ABC viewers on the whole are more educated and wealthier than their lot. They'd lose millions.
Sneer all you want at quality tv given a chance to succeed because it's not purely about bringing in advertising. We'll still enjoy it.Agree (0) Alert moderator

Noodles, apart from your IQ theorising, I agree that commercial TV is becoming more and more culturally and educationally bereft.
Bold & the Beautiful on a 6pm timeslot is a frightening sign of things to come.
Roh & HG, bless them, entertain by holding up a mirror to our culture.
A little more cultural examination, some more educative content, and less crime/medical/teen angst may see a very large audience tuning back in....Agree (0) Alert moderator

There is as much good viewing on commercial TV as their is on the ABC - and as much rubbish.
The only accurate part of that statement is "it never happens the other way around" because who would want to take a pay cut???? the ABC doesn't have the funds to purchase the top of the line programing available elsewhere.Agree (0) Alert moderator

Of course you have to accept that a half hour show is actually 22mins long... is that for eight minutes of ads you have to watch 22 mins of show (I'm channeling the ghost of Kerry Packer)
And wasn't the point of pay TV that because your paying no more ads. Boy that lasted.

They aren't lettuce.
What they are is a unique blend of satire and wit and a damn good laugh on a Sunday afternoon and becasue they aren't (weren't) commercial they weren't trying to sell you something.
That's why I love the ABC. If I wantto go buy something I'll go to a shop. I demand the right to lock my door on the commercial world when I get home.
I'm going to start downloading the back issues of TSL when I get home to keep them for posterity.
The ABC should pay these two more. They are more than worth it.

This is a sad day. Like many others before, i.e. Maynard F Sharp Crabs, Dylan Lewis and Myf; that give it a go for the fast and big bucks to varying degrees of success, Roy and HG may have financial security (for a while) and it will be arguable whether the listening audiance at TM (sorry can't bring myself to type the whole thing, I hate this type of radio) will absorb Roy and HG like their fans on Triple J and the ABC. The transition from a role where they have an no agenda, are free from commerical pressure and complete artistic license to one of time constraints, loosing their artistic independance, will have to answer to some knob who is only interested in the ratings performance, cut their stream of conciousness off for an add or news break or worse some twat coming with a voice over. Will we ever here HG weezing with laughter in the background as Roy launches into a tyrade about the quality of the meat tray won recently at the Marble Bar darts night? See you later boys, I really hope it works for you, and if it doesn't and you find yourselves back at Triple J I will be tuning in. But for the trip on TM, I am sorry.

The renewed energy that will give them will make for even better performances on the ABC. Their wit is like Aunty Jack, Norman Gunston and Dame Edna and always returns home as commercial media can't handle the irreverence.

As with many other clever and witty shows that go from the ABC to commercial media, it won't last because the majority commercial audience is not intelligent enough to understand this humour. The ABC audience will not be able to tolerate moving across and it will all close down. Meanwhile some new presenter(s) will move into Roy & HG's old spot and ABC audience will be rewarded with some new talent that would never be given a go in other media.
A win/win for the ABC audience..Agree (0) Alert moderator

This was inevitable in a way. I started listening to Roy and HG in my youth, but after 22 years I no longer fit the JJJ demographic of Australia's national youth network. I imagine that is why the first comment here is good riddance - no doubt someone who wasn't even born when Greig and John called their first grand final.
I just hope having to be commercial doesn't affect their material. And does have MMM have podcasts?Agree (0) Alert moderator
