If you always tune it to the various radio shows in the morning, you'd probably notice that there's a pair of new announcers for Era FM. I usually listen to Hot FM in the morning because Era DJs are usually self-absorbed and sound like little divas but there's something different with the new hosts this time.

I've known Din Beramboi since his THR days and he was totally hilarious even then. And everybody knows (and love) Aznil, the award winning presenter/host with decades of experience in show business. I think Era finally got it right this time. This is a winning combination. For the first time I can say that Era's morning show is better than Hot FM's.

Nonetheless I think the couple won't last more than 2 months together (3 months top). We all know Aznil is a really-really busy artiste with a few dozen shows to run. Din Beramboi is also a popular actor and from my experience, artists/singers/actors don't make a good DJ. Especially for morning shows where they have to get up around 5 in the morn and get ready to go on air by 6:00 AM. Yeah they probably can do that for a month or so but long term, not a chance. That's a job for a proper DJ.
