The Hot Breakfast with Eddie Mcguire

Being a Carlton supporter, i have a certain disliking of Eddie Mcguire the Collingwood president, but i have a great deal of respect for Eddie Mcguire the Broadcaster. Eddie hosts the new Triple M breakfast show alongside Mieke Buchan, Tony Moclair and good mate Luke Darcy and, from a professionalism point of view, i am yet to see anyone trump Eddie as a broadcaster. The show is incredibly well structured, written and presented with good relations between hosts and delivers a great early morning listen for the Australian workman as 3 out of the 4 hosts come from a sporting background, with Tony Moclair providing the laughs and the quick witted gags. Hiring Eddie back to Triple M was quite possibly the best move Austereo ever made because, while i am a fan of Peter Helliar, he doesnt quite cut it as a radio host and coupled with Myf Warhurst, they created an absoloute vomit pool of a show. "The Hot Breakfast" provides everything you would expect from a breakfast program such as traffic updates, weather and time, as well as a good balance of comedy, sport news and music, with sports personalities guesting regularly. I am yet to hear Eddie say "um" or "Ahh" and i listen to him 3 times a week. The standard of presentation this man provides is second to none and if i can aspire to present on air as well as the hosts of "The Hot Breakfast" i will be a very happy man. Overall, this show is the "Ace up the sleeve" that Triple M was looking for to win back some much needed ratings.
