ARN Regional (formerly Grant Broadcasters)

I am concerned when 2st becomes FM , they just may become another version of wsfm or a 2go. I don’t really know of a primarily am style station in and around NSW where they stuck to the same format after they became FM. Within 10 years they have less news, play more modern music and often have less local shows. It seems to be this strange trend that they have to sound like an FM station and leave the AM legacy behind. I disagree , sure it’s OK to have network shows with the big smoke but that am feel to a station is great especially the music and local feel with the none network shows. At least with 2st it has to fm repeaters but kept the same format for many years. It’s interesting Macquarie radio thinks Brisbane does not need a local feel. But that’s another thread.
