Yep, the s39 (supplementary FM licence) scheme. Now FM was the first I believe, though I think that was pre 1992, when the Broadcasting Services Act was passed.

Add to this. Iāve been in the mountains all week and have been locked to XLFM. What other capital stations share their playlist? Itās easily now my favourite Australian station. Great playlist!

This quiz that has been on 2CA Canberra, Eagle FM Goulburn, Snow FM Jindabyne, 3GG Warragul and 6iX Perth this past week and continues this coming week is the most drawn out quiz I have ever heard on radio. John Burgess asks a caller a question, and if they get it correct he rings them again in an hour to ask the next question, and so on. So to win the car someone has to answer ten questions correctly over ten hours. If they get an answer wrong he calls someone else the next hour. While he is asking the question various television quiz music is playing in the background, including the Sale of the Century music. Iām finding it all very annoying.

its a playlist 6IX could consider using if they get to convert to FM in Perth too since they are also owned by the same network.

Is Burgo actually hosting any show at present on the network? Whatās his agreement with them?
Heās doing Saturday mornings on 6iX.
Still on 6iX, Iāve noticed that theyāre currently doing āMusic Selectorā, getting listeners to have a say in the music that they play. By filling in the form & becoming a Music Selector, thereās some prizes & giveaways to be won.

Chris Beckhouse - Canberraās 2CA - Forever Classic
I wonder if heās simply waiting in the curtains for a gig at Mix106.3? Heād be much better suited there.

He did quite well. Although he did accidently say that he bumped into Captain Cash at Triple M not too far into the shift.

Itās worth noting that he has presented 2CA breakfast back in 2001, judging by this aircheck below:
Thanks to @anon36025973 for the above.
Whilst on that, 2CA had a more oldies format back then, with a lot of 60s & 70s music being played. It had (and still does have, even though its playlist has modernised a bit to become more 70s/80s-based) a clear point-of-difference from Mix 106.3.

With Grant Broadcasters merging with ARN to become a Larger Radio Network, due to Overlap Issues, Geelongās Bay & K-Rock are in the Firing Line, so could Kevin Blyton trade in his 50% Share of 6IX Perth for the 2 Geelong Stations?

If ACMA find a conflict of interest with Alison Cameron on the board of ARN, and her brother running the Geelong stations, and a sale is forced Capital Radio would be the most logical bidder for Bay and Krock.
Who else could be in the mix BOG SRN???
