Not so Andy in the morning

More from the Austereo Brisbane launch at GoMA on Thursday night ...
+ Don't expect to hear national drive stars Hamish and Andy in the breakfast shift (although I'm sure their bosses, and listeners, would love it). Andy Lee, who was one of the last to leave the function - well after the brekkie crews had made their excuses and headed for bed, with alarms clocks set for 3.30am) told me he and Hamish Blake are night owls who would never be able to get up early enough.
+ An Austereo executive told me Triple M Melbourne's latest breakfast experiment, led by Eddie McGuire, will absollutely pay off, despite it starting from a very low ratings base. He wouldn't be drawn on the future of Gus Worland and the Grill Team on Sydney's Triple M, however.
+ In the "formal" part of the evening, HG Nelson and Roy Slaven had the audience in stitches with their spray about how much they loved Brisbane (to the point, allegedly, where their Sydney and Melbourne bosses are telling them to shut up about it) and their pledge to keep the new Austereo promise that the future is loud. B105's Labby, Camilla and the Triple M Cage team - Ian "Skip" Skippen, Greg "Marto" Martin, Greg "Sully" Sullivan and Emily-Jade O'Keeffe - presented their plans for the year, while Hamish and Andy did a hilarious Q and A (with each other) aimed at getting the advertisers and agencies in the audience to open up their pockets.
