A kind word re spots on the Tony Delroy Nightlife program, The Australian, 7 March, 2004.

As the great unread newspaper of Australia, writing for The Australian was like hitting tennis balls into a soft black sponge wall. There was no echo. While on the Sydney Morning Herald, I would often have to field calls from readers in the morning. There were few such calls after moving to The Australian, basically because it was barely read.

If on night duty, before midnight each evening I would have to do a short radio spot detailing the main stories for the coming day.

Far more people said "I heard you on the Delroy show" than ever said "I read you in the Aus."
