There’s a “DREAM Radio” in Melbourne now - is seemingly just ambient noise - like some [soothing ocean sounds](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHZEvGyRPDs)…

Not sure exactly where the bits come from or who is operating it, it’s between Niche Radio and Niche Radio 2 in the multiplex - which is in theory in 3MP/SEN’s allocation. I’d need to cross check an older scan to work it out.

Not bad, I can get on board with an ambient station, it has a few IDs playing saying this is Dream.

Not much comes up for Disrupt Radio online except for one report on Creditor Watch [DISRUPT RADIO PTY LTD - ABN 93631872716 - ACN 631872716 - Business Profile / Credit Report](https://creditorwatch.com.au/credit/profile/631872716)

Edit:  
An ID just played saying, “Dare to Discover, Dare to Dream, Dare to Disrupt” I would say this new Dream Radio and Disrupt Radio are linked, and maybe are 24/7 ambient stations…

Oh, SEN Sydney is gone from Melbourne. Those are the bits.

Let’s face it, what success would a station rating less than 1% in Sydney have in Melbourne on DAB+.

Finally. Makes sense.

It’d make sense if they used SEN FAN to its potential - fill it with the actual content from the interstate feeds - you could have content from the SA/WA/QLD/Sydney stations, not just a permanent Sydney feed and nothing else.

Very strange station - I have to assume this is just stunting to launch something else in the spot. Puts up a good fight compared to TAB Lounge though.

I think the decision to close for SEN to close the music stations (2ch/4kq) on DAB+ was a bad decision for them and it looks like it going to backfire on them

Wowser. If SEN had shifted 4KQ to a 24hr automated DAB+ music station with Brent James selecting the music, it would’ve still done better than SENQ 693AM.

SEN Melb, SEN Coast and SEN Track are all still on air in Sydney, so but rates must be reduced to squeeze in Disrupt.

How will SEN broadcast A-League and NRL matches from Sydney next year when the AFL is on the main station (1116 AM)?

Just tuned in to Dream on my old Kaiser baas radio, display IDs as Dream Radio, then changes ID to SEN Sydney, and also says DAB Melbourne 1

Yes the same thing happens on my Sony DAB+ radio, it displays SEN SYDNEY every 8-9 seconds rather than DREAM Radio. And the funny thing is that if I time it right and tune up from SEN Fan or down from SEN Track, DREAM Radio appears in between.

Not sure if mentioned but Disrupt Radio’s bitrate is all of 16Kbps, if it was anything but drone sounds I would be shocked and appalled.

“Niche 2” has stopped relaying _Radio Rhythm_ and now relays _Rete Italia Next (Hit Music Radio)_ in glorious mono 16Kbps 🤢

I’m guessing it’s well known that FUN Classic Hits’ audio randomly drops during songs?

Noticed some retail places tuned to DAB today - inclduing Smooth and Easy 80s.

As seen on The Flatshare.

Buddha Hits is gone from Melbourne DAB+. This must be one of the longest running DAB+ non AM-FM stations in Melbourne.

Also missing in Brisbane but strangely Buddha has been added to the Gold Coast.
