Zinc 100.7 in Townsville is set to rebrand with a new name, a fresh new look & a new sound, which will be revealed during Townsville’s Top 100 Rock Songs countdown on Tuesday 6th September.

Strange they write it as “100 ROCK” using capitals in the copy. My prediction is this is a hint. ROCK 100 coming soon. … Strange that Grants are moving away from network branding … Starting to get confusing. ---

> [@thesub](#): > > … Strange that Grants are moving away from network branding … Starting to get confusing. Although they have just started the Star network or Northern Queensland stations. The main argument would be that stations that don’t network content done need network branding. Though the big companies will tell you that network branding makes it easier to sell nationally. That said, if the recent ratings in SCA/Grant markets are anything to go by, audiences would prefer good quality networked content than largely voice tracked sometimes crappy local content. But that could also be down to marketing spend too. ---

> [@thesub](#): > > My prediction is this is a hint. Upon some digging, I have discovered that Grant Broadcasters registered the business name “The Rock 100.7 FM” on February 11 (the same day they registered the star names). They have also registered therock1007fm.com.au - though strangely no shorter forms of the domain name. Therock.com.au is already taken, but all other forms I tried are available (eg. Rock1007.com.au) ---
