Although 2CA’s temporary rebrand probably would’ve had more impact a couple of months ago, given that the ACT’s vaccination rates are almost as good (better when it comes to the “both doses” figure) as those in NSW.

No I didn’t. The post sounded like a serious station rebrand. Never heard of this kind of thing before, but then I don’t generally listen to radio.

there was also a time Triple M was re-branded U2FM to promote a new U2 album. And don’t forget last year Triple M Sydney became “Triple Panther” in the lead up to the NRL Grand Final (in which Penrith lost).
Had Geelong made the AFL Grand Final perhaps K Rock should rename itself “The Cat” to show their support of the Cats (their ACMA callsign is 3CAT).

95.5 The Cat would be a good full time moniker for the station. The K-Rock brand has been trashed beyond recognition anyway; the days of the Rockin’ Roo (borrowed from FM104) are long gone…

Article gone now. Did someone break an embargo? It’s meant to be announced by Holmesy & Jen on Monday.

Good to see 2CA’s website has finally been given a facelift - matching what sister station 2CC has.

Any reason why Wilko & Courts could be missing from www.mix106.com.au & also their FB page now has a generic Cover Photo?

The show ended last year.

Really!? They kept that quiet (not in CBR, so wasn’t listening). I didn’t see any articles about it or anything. Why did the show end? Are they both at the station still, or have they gone elsewhere?

The comments are interesting on that article. A comment purporting to be from 2CA’s Paul Holmes is replied by supposedly Zak Davies of the ARN/SCA JV.
Would be great to hear an increase in FM news bulletin duration and depth. Especially in Canberra.

Good for Zak. He’s a kiwi, so would be very familiar with how it was done in NZ. And his response to Holmes was completely warranted.

On the same day that the 2nd Canberra radio ratings survey of the year has been released (see thread), Hit 104.7 & Mix 106.3 are looking for a new Content Director.
