Does Rob live on the coast?

Exactly what I was thinking, maybe a âbad caseâ of an April Fools joke. Just Mandy playing âAddicted to Loveâ all morning. If so âSheâll make my dayâ, I donât mind Palmerâs hits.

I just was switching between 2GO and Star 104.5 in my car. They were playing the exact same Harvey Norman ad in unison.

Whilst up in Sydneyâs Northern Beaches, Iâve noticed that Coast FM now uses âClassic Hits on the Central Coastâ (I may be paraphrasing here) as their secondary positioner.
Also, 2GO, which now uses a separate music log from the rest of the Triple M regional network (and is shared with Triple M Hobart), promotes the fact that they now play âThe songs the Central Coast hasnât heard in agesâ.

What type of music do 2GO play now mate?
I canât find their music log.
This link is a good start: http://fred.aimapi.io/services/nowplaying/sca/2ggo/onair.json
Also, lava.net.au is another good place to check out their log.
The music they now play on 2GO is mostly music from the 70s to 00s, with very little new music, especially when compared to the rest of the regional Triple M network.

Not a secondary positioner, Coast FM has been Classic Hits since midnight Jan 1st 2019, we replaced all the on air music library & re did all the logs.
Web site needs updating, but everything else is Classic Hits only.

Thatâs good to know, thanks. 
I think their new âClassic Hitsâ format/positioner further enhances Coast FMâs point-of-difference to the local commercial stations.

Good move by 2GO and SCA.
Clearly move away from SeaFM & Star104.5.

2GOâs stream has been stuck on an âAFL is currently playing on the this stationâ loop all day today.

AN improvement on their music format many would think.

Sea FM: Gawndy and Ash Pollard are on holidays with Nic Kelly filling in. They are back tomorrow.
Star 104.5: Rabbit and Julie Goodwin are still live.
2GO: Mandy and Rob Palmer are also still live.

I saw this as part of a wraparound on a central coast newspaper the other day.
The paper might have been 4-6 weeks old, but to anyone not in the media circles youâd think SCA & Nine-NBN were one in the same.

Interesting ad. Yeah, SCA does ad sales for NBN these days.
One wonders how often (or even if) any market research is done into how widely watched NBN News is in the Central Coast compared to the Sydney 6pm bulletins.

And thatâs why.
The mention of facebook fans for 2GO is laughable. Their broadcast medium of radio is what is supposed to get results, but when your share is lagging, they throw a decoy, might fool some of those direct clients.

SCA does ad sales for just about everyone these days, that was the primary reasoning behind the rebrand of everything to Triple M & Hit.
One sales person says Iâll give you so many spots across the Triple M network, NBNTV & whoever else for so many $.
Lazy sales, & not even close to best value or options for the advertisers, ok for Hardly Normal who mostly have the same generic ad across the country.

They could have bumped up the social media fans numbers by adding these in!

âMost Lovedâ?
Last time I checked Star 104.5 was the most loved.
And I dare say the Sydney TV news bulletins outrate NBN News, which probably explains the scarce amount of local news they actually have.

âŚis a deliberately meaningless term. Surveys measure station listenership, not listener satisfaction; for all we know, a whole bunch of Coasties could be hate-listening to Star

Which would be a stupid reason to listen to it!
