Thereās some comments here that are way off the mark regarding Allan Jones at CoastFM, & I guess those making them donāt know the details. Thereās quite a few similar comments in other industry forums from what Iād say are people who hate Allan because heās been more successful than they ever will be.
Allan is doing this for CoastFM for no payment as John Singleton has asked him to.
The way it works is listeners can email CoastFM (via a special email address) about any concerns they have about Central Coast issues, that they canāt get any traction or info on, to get the issues resolved or moved forward, Allan will investigate & push things using his contacts in various places heās gained over the years & then report back via a pre-recorded āAsk Allanā segment.
Anything contentious that might break any legal rules under any codes will not go to air, thereās nothing live about this & itās not really Allanās opinion on things, itās about him using his power & who he knows, to get things done on the Central Coast that no one else can get done.
Yes he just bought a house on the Gold Coast. Could see something similar popping up on 4CRB or possibly 94.1 Gold Coast as itās a conservative hotspot.
4CRB used to run the Alan Jones comment back in the day and also currently airs highlights of Ben Fordhamās show from 2GB.
An Indigenous footy radio broadcast station may be forced to hang up the microphone just days out from round one after a call for help to the AFL was left unanswered.
The National Indigenous Radio Service broadcasts AFL matches into remote Indigenous communities around the country, with the station made up of almost entirely Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander commentators.
The station, who have hosted talent such as Gilbert McAdam, Andrew Krakouer, Nathan Lovett-Murray and Peter Keenan may not go to air this season after over 25 years of broadcasting after a lack of sponsorship and funding made it almost impossible to operate this season.
HA! That is gold
We had a few minor broadcast issues especially with crossing to the stage from the OB van⦠Event MC Patrick Bonello was really good and dropped off his RodeCaster so I was able to have a 2 way connection into his earpiece at all times and he could hear when we would cross over.
