The Radio Show
January '99 saw Ed Tamplin's first appearance on 2GB's 'new age' Steve Murphy Show. For private readings Steve's number is 92648095 and Ed's is 95341081. Steve Murphy was the accomplished and intuitive numerologist and Ed the resident astrologer. The program featured live, on-air reads as well as forecasting future world issues, interspersed with educational items. Their spontaneous manner and off beat humour ensured that the show was as entertaining as it was informative. This unique new age program became the most listened to show on a Saturday night by 2001, with a 12.7% audience share after 10 pm. This was despite the overall station 2GB then rating below 5% of the market share overalll. The show has since gone on to better 15% and in the last survey (mid-September 2009) it was still number one rating at 13.7% of the audience share between 8 p.m. and midnight. But more importantly it peaks from 10 p.m. with the astrology segment in combination with the numerology drawing an average of 23% plus, which is exceptionally high for such a specialist program. In Steve's absence Ed would host the show, and Sherrynne Dalby would join the program, and with her assured manner and sage advice also became a program favourite. The final show on October 17 2009 marked 10 years and 10 months continuous broadcasting in Australia's most competitive radio market. It made this show the longest running of all live astrology programs on Australian radio. The rating figures for that final period rose to 23.2% of the available audience at 10.15 p.m., as the astrology segment began. For the program to finish up as number one is all thanks to your warm and wonderful support throughout, something that has been greatly appreciated. It sets a great platform for the future.
