No, then we wouldn’t have any radio stations that actually serve the Upper Hunter…or any media. I wouldn’t know how long the Argus/Chronicle/Advocate are going to run in its current form, if any. If SCA or Caralis buy the Grant stations (heaven forbid), I can see 2NM being rebranded into 2HD or KOFM and Power FM becoming New FM or (S)Hit FM. I’m surprised ABC Upper Hunter hasn’t been shifted across from Newcastle to Tamworth, the rural report has in some form. That leaves Scone.com.au, and even then it’s focusing on ONE town.
Sorry, if you think we rednecks don’t need anything local and have Newcastle and Sydney stories shoved straight up our collective arse, but we DO need 2NM and Power FM to still be around, given the lack of options out there. Even if they’re not the best run stations out there, I wouldn’t say there are any Australian media organisation being run properly either.
Just fix up the streams, they sound atrocious.
