Cada

They have not removed the negative comments on Facebook yet.

Fake American accents, and saying yo yo yo like they are from the hood!

Mike E & Emma / Jimmy and Nat Penfold we’re quality broadcasters. Nat even covered on KIIS 106.5

I hope so otherwise listeners and advertisers will exodus the station if they have not already. Is ARN having to give away spots on Cada, special deal advertise on KIIS and for a limited time get a free ad on Cada???

The Edge has been blown up by Alcada!!!

Yes, me too. But no messages i.e. on air song.

Question probably asked many times. But what do Katoombans (?) think about their own local station hijacked by Sydney radio all those years ago, and turned into a hyper niche format more targeted at a certain demographic of Sydneysiders or Western Sydneysiders rather than at Katoomba and inflicting competition on to the Sydney FMs?

And technically shouldn’t the licence be subject to the same local content quotas applied to other non metros? It’s not a metro licence?

Don’t forget Jimmy! Even hype on demand with Gemma Maddox, Tony B from Zannon/Tony B and their causal announcers Ryan and Brendon who did a good job over summer. Many staff cut for this experiment

I would think that Cada would have very limited appeal to the Blue Mountains, I have never heard The Edge / Cada on in any of the shops in the Blue Mountains.
It has mainly been Smooth or WS fm, I even heard Brock on in the Victory in Blackheath.
The Blue Mountains is so spoiled for choice for fm signals.

Obviously the Blue Mountains advertising market is too small to sustain The Edge / Cada, and that is why it focuses on Western Sydney. This lack of focus probably allowed 2LT / Move fm to enter the market.

I guess if Cada gives Blue Mountains weather and provides coverage during bushfire emergencies that is all it needs to do to keep ACMA happy, but they would not know about that unless there was a complaint.

The Sydney stations provide just as much if not more coverage for the Blue Mountains then Cada does.

That part i wasn’t aware of. They got translators there?

99.5 for Move fm and 101.1 for 2LT. Both broadcast from the same tower as Cada does at Wentworth Falls.

They have severe restrictions on their power towards Sydney 40w to stop them from targeting Sydney.

Yeah. I don’t who I was listening to this afternoon but the female presenter was excruciatingly bad. It sounded like a parody. Like she was taking the piss out of Americans. I had to change stations.

Why couldn’t ARN bring back some of the announcers that SCA let go. They wouldn’t have had the problem they have now with their talent?

It was when I driving to the beach this afternoon and I arrived there about 2pm.

That would have been Helena Ellis she is on 1-3pm, when I heard her the other day she didn’t sound to bad.

They’d meet them. The local content rules were designed to reduce networking rather than stations reaching outside their licence areas. So the fact that virtually all the content is original and produced specifically for that station means that the local content requires would be met.

Cada’s theme song is interesting, quite some similarities to Fatboy Slim’s now 22 year old track, Ya mama which samples many other tracks itself.

Saw some outdoor advertising for Cada in Melbourne today - something The Edge never did.

I’ve seen some ones in Inner West Sydney for Cada 96.1.

Outside of their broadcast area :stuck_out_tongue:

Not the first time this has happened.

In fact, I remember seeing Sydney Buses in the inner suburbs of Sydney advertise 9inety6ix.1 (as it has then known) way back in 1998, when it had an alternative rock format.

I remember this as well; maybe even some non-government buses as I think I recall seeing one at Hurstville. Again well outside the licence area.
