> [@Ant5476](#): > > And the teenage girls in the iHeartRadio ad sound so out of place on 2ST too. They basically used the same clips on all of the iHeart ads across the ARN Regional network. Even if I tune into a weak signal of 2EC Batesman Bay, I still here those teen voices. When the first E-skip signals arrive in the summer, I bet on an ARN station being received, those teen voices and that promo would still be heard by me. Aka, if you are tuned to an ARN Regional Station, there is no escape from it. No escape at all. ---

The MMM digital stations also plug their Listenr app every single ad break. Big Turnoff. ---

I’m not a fan of the changes ARN has done to stations like 2EC. Especially the overnight schedule. They should’ve left talkback on overnight and the iheartradio ad does my head in. ---

A couple of weeks ago 7HO ditched their ‘Galvanise’ news theme which they have used for over a decade with a series of ‘beeps’ as their news intro. I’m not sure whether this is standard across the ARN Regional network. I’ve always thought that using The Chemical Brothers was a bit ‘out there’ for a station like 7HO but compared to its replacement I miss its gravitas of telling me ‘I need to listen now’ while I’m getting ready for work of a morning. ---

Good pickup. Before and after below. The previous news intro does seem to grab your attention more than the new version. Previous: [SndUp | Post info](http://sndup.net/dgm9) New: [SndUp | Post info](http://sndup.net/gx58) ---

random question: What is the ownership status of 4AK/4WK in Toowoomba/Darling Downs? Both stations are listed on both the ARN and Super Network websites > **[4AK – ARN](https://arn.com.au/brands/arn-regional/4am/)** > **[4WK – ARN](https://arn.com.au/brands/arn-regional/4wk/)** [AM Network | 2SM Super Radio Network](http://2smsupernetwork.com/am-network/) (4WK) [FM Network | 2SM Super Radio Network](https://2smsupernetwork.com/fm-network/) (4AK) Are the stations now owned by ARN or does ARN just operate as a sales agent for those stations on behalf of Super Network? ---

If only they were owned by ARN. Caralis’ stations were represented by the Cameron’s TSRN, The Radio Sales Network; ARN would continue that representation. Have a look on Wayback Archive or similar. ---
