Saturday Breakfast
McDonalds move into Waiheke - We're not lovin' it!

Waihekeans awoke this morning to see something they never thought they'd see on their beautiful, corporate globalisation-free Island paradise. As the dawn woke up the unsuspecting Island residents and the sun rose above the ridge of Blackpool Heights, three red signs with golden arches began to glisten in the Oneroa sunlight. |
 |
Residents will have been aware of the new development work currently underway in Oneroa but would never in a million years have imagined the full horror of what was to come. The Mcdonalds Golden Arches are moving into town.
As we speak there will, I'm sure, be a collective groan from parents across the Island and a 'yippee' from all the children themselves drooling at the thought of a local weekly 'Happy' Meal.
There will also no-doubt be a protest action plan already in place from our more vocal Island protesters and we'll soon see direct action on a scale like we've 'never seen before', demonstrations that the Surfdale Cellphone Tower Protest Group can only dream of. This will be war!!
Questions need to be asked, especially of our Community Board. Did they really give permission for this?
We at Waiheke Radio can already feel our arteries glogging up!

THE RETURN OF THE SATURDAY MORNING BREAKFAST SHOW
Posted 20/01/2010 - 11:24 by El
This Saturday 23rd sees the welcome return of Simon and El to The Saturday Morning Breakfast Show. Following a bout of feverish activity in which the boys got together to create lots of exciting new features for the show, they eventually decided that if it ain't broke - don't fix it. So expect a lot more of the same sort of music and chat that allowed them to coast through most of the last year without so much as breaking sweat. "It's a fun-filled rollercoaster of a ride" through your Saturday Mornings whilst daring to take an unashamed look at their weird lives...their wild loves...in a jazz-haunted, desire-tormented world. (It also includes the fishing report).

What it says on the lid. Funny, irreverant and a great listen, just like the Sat Breakfast show with Simon and El. Here's some highlights from their first year.

The Saturday Breakfast Show with Simon & El
Posted 03/08/2009 - 12:02 by Simon
We're not entirely sure why Simon & El are doing the Saturday Breakfast Show as they are both rubbish at getting up early in the morning, especially at the weekends. That said they do love Waiheke Radio and so here they are, your Saturday Breakfast DJs.
|
Join Simon & El every Satuday as they attempt to entertain the listening public while eating their cornflakes and otherwise preparing for the rigours of another weekend on Waiheke. They do this with the seemingly effortless interplay of witty banter and good tunes that are worth turning on the radio at 8 o'clock in the morning for. The shows include stock radio stand-by's shamelessly pilferred from proper radio stations such as 'This Day In Rock History' as well as items unique to the show such as a round-up of the weekly news on the Island with added 'informed comment', scurrilous and mostly pointless gossip culled from the internet, El's ever popular Film Review and, of course, the |
 |
no doubt soon to be legendary Mash-Up corner which even now firmly polarizes opinion all over our little corner of the Hauraki Gulf. It's all definitely worth 2 hours of your time on a Saturday morning - it's the kind of show that Simon and El themselves would listen to if they were allowed a lie-in of a Saturday morning, which sadly they're not anymore...
