The answers to both can be read in the last substantive post containing the material in red from the ABC source. To extract them:
"Audience Research sounds very important, but it’s actually the junior office assistant to NewsRadio Manager Helen Thomas."
and
"StarStuff is Australia’s most successful astronomy program which has been going for nine years with over 400 episodes under its belt, and which as an hour long program every Sunday night consistently rated better than 8 per cent and even the Saturday night replay the following week still got better than 6 per cent according to The ABC’s own national ratings figures."
Matter for you if you want to go down the petition path but in my experience the best way is via personal snail mail or email. Up to you entirely.
Best,

Hi Les,
Those questions were not in relation to star stuff but rather the weekend halftime programme. Just trying to get my wording right. I don't want to refer to weekend halftime as a 'new' show if it is not and I don't want to say Helen Thomas 'presents' it if she does not.
As for the 'petition path' it isn't necessary to choose one method over the other. I have emailed news radio and intend to write to Mark Scott and my federal MP (who also happens to be the current treasurer). I don't see how it could be a bad thing to have a petition as well.
rgds,
James
