Bendigo stations are also easily received in Ballarat so having the classic hits format will improve choice for listeners there, as the AC format had a lot of overlap with the Hot AC format of Power. At least they’ll have 2 Hot AC, 1 Rock and 1 classic hits format to choose from (aside from Triple J, ABC Classic and community radio).

Looking at Lava, the change happened at 6pm ACST tonight, and seemed to be playing songs strictly from 1995 at the moment, presumably an episode of the 20/20 Retro Countdown.
This seemed to only apply to 5RM at the moment, as 5CS-5AU & 5CC have kept their “Classic Hits” format.
UPDATE: It appears that 5RM have gone back to the “Classic Hits” log at 8pm ACST.

In sickness and in health: All hands on deck at Hobart’s 7HOFM
What happens when the dreaded lurgy strikes and the majority of staff at your radio station are off sick, including most of the announcers?
Hobart’s 7HOFM recently found out the hard way, with Content Director Allan Cameron pulling marathon shifts in order to keep the ARN station live and local.
7HOFM’s senior journalist and newsreader Britt Aylen also stepped up to the plate and hosted an on-air shift, drawing on her previous experience as an announcer at SAFM and Triple M Hobart.
