Yes - there were fairly close ties between 4IP and TVQ - TVQ set up their first news room in the Brisbane CBD at 4IP - The City News Centre for the channel O News Watch.
Just caught the following song playing at the same time on both WSFM and Smooth 95.3
To The Moon And Back - Savage Garden
This is what happens using the same music scheduling, building their clocks with same rules.
Wake Me Up Before You Go Go- WHAM
Canberraâs Artsound 92.7 just now.
And from this morning:
Cruel Summer- BANANARAMA
Hard Luck Woman- KISS
Is this a format change for Artsound FM?
Cruel Summer is a great song
What is the name of the program airing when these tracks are played?
Itâs not a full MBS style station but an amalgam of classical plus other arts genres that donât receive coverage elsewhere. In the Canberra community, I can imagine considering the other different results that Artsound would be welcomed by the unique audience mix in the city.
Got My Mind Set On You - George Harrison
Heard late this afternoon on 2DAY FM.
Gee that song sounds daggy on 4KQ, let alone 2Day
My thoughts exactly. What next, does that mean theyâll play Paul McCartney, another former Beatle who also had hits in the 80s?
They probably should leave their 80s music to more the iconic pop/rock artists like Michael Jackson, Madonna, Kylie Miinogue, Prince, INXS etc
Leo Sayerâs Orchard Road now playing 4TAB Two.
Ah they played that yesterday too! A welcome addition to the playlist.
I also heard Round and Round by Ratt on 4TAB2 this morning
Oh darn u forgot to sample 4TAB Two this year over Christmas. They usually play some good stuff. I confess I do have Orchard Rd on my iPod
Filter - Take a Picture, playing on K Rock yesterday. Back when K Rock actually had a rock playlist in the late 90s they played it, but now with their CHR pop playlist it sticks out like a sore thumb!
Still running if youâre within digital coverage.
Wow, is that where Guns n Roses got their ideas?
The long instrumental lead in to Money for nothing just on now unless there was a song prior? @4TAB-1008kHz
Nah, all album versions where ever possible.
However one or two radio edits mightâve snuck in.
Triple M Sydney played âThnks fr th Mmrsâ by Fall Out Boy just over an hour ago. I canât say that I have ever heard them play a Fall Out Boy song before.
Two candidates for this list from recent days:
Toto - Africa, played on Fox FM Melbourne (to be fair, this song has experienced an inexplicable surge in popularity with young people in much the same way Dazzaâs Horses has in recent years)
Alex Lloyd - Green, played on ABC Local Radio NSW (a great and often forgotten song of his, just surprising to hear it on ABC - I think it may have been filling time during a Grandstand broadcast)
I really worry about the next generation lol
They recently toured Melbourne - and the posters that were up promoting it certainly seemed to be targeted at young people - calling out lyrics to Africa, Hold the Line and Rosanna - just three or so words in massive bold white text on black.
If I didnât know better, based on the way they were being promoted Iâd have assumed Toto were some EDM group or something, certainly very targeted on getting people going to see them ironically.
