RUSH on NOVA969 to take a "Break"

Hey all,

Its with great sadness that i announce the following:

quote:

March 20th 2005

After 4 continuous years on air, RUSH is going to take a break from April 2nd 2005. Nova 969 has decided to rest the show for the foreseeable future. It has not been decided what will replace RUSH at the time of writing.

Nova has been brave in allowing a show that genuinely �sounds different� to be part of their Saturday night schedule for the past 4 years, and we thank them for that privilege. They are great people to work with.

We are sure that Nova will be delighted to hear from any listeners wishing to pass on their comments about RUSH. The team at Nova put their listeners first and encourage any feedback.

You can drop a line to [email protected] or you can SMS to 199 11 969. You can also use the �STATION/contact us� link on www.nova969.com.au

In the meantime, we can now announce that the CD launch party at GAS on April 2nd is now to be our official �closing party��so we hope that many of our listeners will be able to join us for a final bash, headlined by UK RUSH resident DJ and winner of the best new producer award in the recent UK based global dance awards, Adam White. As always will will be broadcasting/ Streaming LIVE from the club.

RUSH presenter, Tom Brown says �Its been fantastic compiling and presenting RUSH for the past 4 years. Very much a labour of love for me. I�d like to think we have delivered some great upfront radio�certainly in a style that sounds different to anything else on Australian radio, (in true Nova tradition). I hope though that we will be able to deliver RUSH in some other way at some other time in the future. It has been a strong associate brand of Nova and has introduced a lot of new listeners to the station. I�m sure that whatever replaces RUSH on Nova 969s Saturday nights will be great radio. I want to thank everybody for listening, especially to all our regulars. I hope we have in some way made Saturday nights a worthwhile listen with our different style of presentation and music. Special thanks go to Cameron O�Shea, Mehran Rowshanzadeh and Adam White, our 3 resident DJs�

RUSH has been part of the Nova 969 Saturday night schedule since launch day on April 1st 2001.

In the four years that RUSH has been on air, the show has broadcast live from Ibiza 3 years running, hosted over 50 live outside broadcast events in Sydney, supported new and existing local DJ and national talent, uncovered new Australian DJs and producers via its listener mix segment, released 2 double CDs, built a regular online following and has been involved in many Australian events and tours by the worlds top DJs.

We�d like to thank all our listeners, both regular and casual, without whom none of this would mean anything.

More updates will be posted on www.livedirect.com.au

We�ll see you at the official closing party, Saturday April 2nd at GAS!

Id personally like to thank the TA community for al lthe support over the years, especially with our ibiza broadcasts and recordings.

This isnt the end of us, so stay tuned.

Please, if you can send an email in support of us, keep it clean as the station are great people and we hope to work with them again in the future. Dont forget to include where you are from.

Cheers
Cameron

We will still be recording this year (just dont know when we are gonna broadcast). We have a great relationship with the top dj's who trust us to record their special nights such as the Amnesi Closing and Armins Ibiza CD, so we will ensure we are there again this year.

We are on a "Break" we arent done yet

What are the reasons for the "break"?

This is sad guys
I have heard Nova outside of RUSH and it sounds quite commercial, i just hope your show is not replaced by the same old, like in some cases.
I hope things work out in the close future and you boost the Aussie club scene, which kinda helps us kiwis too.

Come to Adelaide Nova!

We need something else than the standard 60 song loop they seem to play...........

Hope you get back on mate, it really was the saving grace for Australian commercial radio

Damn, that really sucks.

I already sent my email this morning after i read about this on Trance Tribe.

Good luck with everything in the future dude!

P.S. I thought the RUSH events were going really well Were they bringing in profit for Nova ?

The station is here to stay. It's just the RUSH show on Saturday night that they have cancelled. You know, the one that brought us the famous Paul Van Dyk Closing sets from Amnesia every year....

Nova 969 is the number one radio station in Sydney at the moment

Too bad.
