2SM is Crap anyway, The Supernetwork shall be Sold off and Bill Caralis to Retire and the 1269 Frequency to be turned into Non Stop Country Music with AFL Broadcasts.
The non-stop country music will probably make those AFL broadcasts hard to listen to.

Plus Bill & Pam employ a vast amount more people than the largely automated Classic Rock Radio or the 91% Sydney 4BC.
@TheStyles83 mightn’t like the programming and kicking 2SM is good for a cheap laugh, but it’s a radio station that the owners feel happy to invest in employing people and not breaching any of the codes

Combine the two? AFL broadcasts with country music in the background. Find tracks about losing to play in the background of Suns games. Tracks about being a tosspot to the background of Giants games.

strong text MacQuarie Media Limited is statrting a Sports Radio Station on March 31st Russell Tate & Adam Lang want a Breakfast team to Lead in to their Weekdays hope they sign tye Talkin Sport Team as their Breaktfast Team
For 2SM, they will never erase the last few years of their ratings results.
There has been little change at the station, still Grant in bfast, Graham at night, sports show in drive, only Sattler/Delaney has been replaced for Laws. Same schtick, simply higher profile.
You can be quite certain that their share has not changed significantly outside of mornings.
Again, Bill doesn’t care, he’s happy to use the licence as he does and as long as it doesn’t breach legislation, it might offend our sensibilities, but there’s nothing that can be done.

Regardless of lack of participation in the ratings I still believe that Laws has more listeners in Sydney that he is given credit for. Therefore Ray Hadley’s rating is inflated.

Obviously there’s far less competition, but 2HD gets okay shares with essentially the same content - so while I don’t doubt the ratings are low, I wouldn’t expect them to be asterisks either - at least in the older demos.

I’d be fascinated what the ratings would be.

Does 2SM do any market research or is advertising just sold because of John Laws reputation?

Question for our DAB-listening Sydney-based brethren: what’s the go with ZOO Digital?
Despite having a Twitter account that hasn’t updated since 2015, there seemed to be live programming up until some point in the last month or so. The Facebook page has since been deleted and there’s no longer an online stream - is there anything going to air on DAB, or is there an (otherwise not-mentioned) format change?
Wouldn’t be surprised if this is the case, what with 2DayFM’s change in format. Maybe 1SM will make a return?
I can confirm that “ZOO MusicVariety” is still on-air with content here in Sydney right now.

At the moment I’d just be happy if 2SM on DAB+ had a high quality mono feed because the last I checked (which admittedly was a while ago), you could even hear digital compression on 1269AM if you had decent enough reception!

Yes that’s why I surprised the super network is bringing back am stereo. Quality of audio is not a huge thing with 2sm in general. I give credit to Macquarie radio and 2ch they do a great job.
Ray Hadley wished John Laws a happy 83rd birthday on Wednesday, saying that Laws is the greatest broadcaster he has worked with.

That’s a big compliment from Ray, given he has worked with Alan Jones too.

Ray is actually not as bad of a guy as most people think, when you actually get to know him and earn his respect he is a decent bloke… Most times

Yeah. Wonder what happen with Andrew Moore, John Gibbs and Andrew Voss with Ray. At the moment I feel that John Laws never totally fell out with as many people to the extent they could not be in the same building with him. Sure John did have his conflicts but not to the same extent as Ray has rubbing a lot up the wrong way
I liked Ray in the early 90s (continuous call team), the show was great. Now days I don’t listen. I am happy he wished John Laws a happy birthday, I hope he is changing and mending some of the relationships that were cut in the past. You are right I am sure there is a good bloke within but when he was very successful beating John Laws, a lot of his colleagues could no longer work with him. This is from an outsider looking in. I am just a radio listener.
