The Spoonman - Cancellation in Adelaide

Cancellation in Adelaide

On 16 November 2007, thirty minutes before the show concluded, The Spoonman announced that the show would no longer be broadcast in Adelaide, South Australia. Previously, the show was broadcast there on 104.7FM- the reason given by the station for the change was new station programming. The Spoonman later confirmed that the show would only cease broadcasting in South Australia, and would return in 2008 in 3 capital cities.

Common belief is that a timeslot reshuffle was the likely culprit of the show's cancellation in South Australia, as due to timezone differences, the show would have begun broadcasting there at 7:30PM- the material discussed on the show would have been unsuitable for that timeslot according to Australian radio broadcast laws.
