Do you live in Canberra? Because they’re referred to here as “104” and “106”.

Awesome, I was born and bred here, so unless you’re trolling me with all this stuff, I’m right.

I was born and bred here too and I disagree with you. But you’re entitled to your opinion.

This thread is the most exciting thing to happen in Canberra in 40 years.

Except it’s not an opinion. Ask someone what FM station they listen to and they will refer to those two as 104 or 106.

Okay but I’m from Canberra and if you ask me I wouldn’t say that though so that destroys your argument doesn’t it?

You must be the exception. I’m not telling you my background, but trust me, I know what I’m talking about. At any rate, this argument is ridiculous. Next thing, you’ll be telling me they should go back to this…

Reminds me of the pricks at 2CC/2CA who very patronising and dismissive towards me when I had a job interview there. I’m never listening to their station again.

I refer the stations as Mix or Mix 106.3 and Hit. But I’ve only lived in Canberra for three years.

Did Mix 106.3 ever use the original Mix 106.5-style purple/teal/pink version of the logo or was that a Sydney-only thing?
Don’t quote me on this but I think the blue/yellow/red logo style might’ve been brought in during the Early 2000s as the Mix Network/branding was being expanded to other capital cities with Mix 101.1 Melbourne and 97.3FM Brisbane.

No, they never did. They had that hideous green and watermelon coloured thing that was posted further up. They then switched to the red, blue and yellow logo in 2002/2003.

Whoa a lot of activity for the Canberra discussion. Love it.
Anyway we all know they should call it Capital 106

As long as no one ever calls it ‘Mix’ eh Mr FineTuned?
But yeah truly local independent stations with their own branding would be the dream, probably not feasible in today’s ad market

Per my post, it was Kennedy/Molloy. Kristen and Nige is a local show.
I’m not sure Kristen mentioning her favourite song is equivalent to the example I provided.

Sorry if this is the wrong thread to talk about Raw FM but does anyone here having trouble getting a signal for it? Can’t get it at all on my portable radio indoors but can get all the other FM stations
