That’s a great idea for 2CH…if you really want to see the station rate below Macquarie Sports Radio.
Knowing what the ratings were like for 2CH in the last radio ratings survey (increases across the board), I’d probably say they should persist with the recently launched “Classic Hits” format for now since they are providing a musical point of difference to the FM stations.
Does anyone why Johnny Young was shafted from the new 2CH lineup? One week he’s there, then next week Tim Webster has taken over; even taking over the Gasparo Restaurant blurbs.
Re, Johnny Young: I don’t recall him being announced as part of the new 2CH lineup for 2019. Although I’d guess that 2CH have dumped him in favour of slightly younger presenters like Tim Webster & Chris Kearns as part of their push for more live/local content.
He’s probably happily retired now? It’d have to be ever five years (probably closer to ten) since I last really remember hearing George Illich on 2CH.
What I’d probably like to know is whether or not 2CH have finally got themselves a permanent presenter for the Sunday Night Openline program.
I’ve noticed on-air sweepers of late on the station in which their Classic Hits positioner has been extended, in which they’re now said to be playing “Classic Hits from the 60s & 70s”.
