Rebranding of the RMITV Flagship

After Season 6, RMITV stated in a press release that they would be making changes to their Flagship Production in 2012 and announced that Live on Bowen would be the show's successor. The press release stated that all current cast members of Studio A cast were welcome to audition but according to an article published on comedy.com.au, when asked if he would consider auditioning Little laughed at the idea.[3]
