Nightline Facebook – 3000 likes.

For a programme admittedly ‘aimed at the older audience’, the boys at 3AW Nightline are very proud of their social media following.

The facebook page is expected to reach 3000 likes within the next few days.

‘It’s a great place for our family of listeners to connect when we’re not on air’ said Philip Brady – Co-host of the show for 25 years. ‘Especially as we’ll be be heard a little less from next week.’

Currently heard from 8pm until midnight, from Monday October 5 Nightline will be heard from 10pm until midnight making way for ex 3AW Drive Host Steve Price ‘s program which will be heard from 8pm until 10pm.

Bruce Mansfield and Philip Brady’s ‘Nightline’ will air 5 nights per week and their Sunday night offering ‘Remember When’ will still be heard from 8pm until Midnight.  So the duo will still be heard six nights per week.

Bruce Mansfield, recently diagnosed with prostate cancer, is undergoing treatment and is expected to return to the programme in mid-November.
