I agree, I thought I was there only fan. It’s a great station, I have started listening to it everywhere and steaming it if I’m outside a DAB area. Would be great if they put on some live announcers.

Welcome @John_Harris. Thanks for joining us here.
I agree with you. Country as you know has many sub? genres within its genre. It seems they’re targeting the
“bro country” fad that is currently big and getting crossover to general hit radio.

Sorry i was meant to say audio oops
If you want to hear more Australian country, you could stream Kix Country (available on DAB+ in Canberra, Perth and Darwin, they have way fewer commercials than TripleM Country) or ABC Country (on DAB+ in all capitals).

Crocmedia’s Super Bowl coverage will also air on Macquarie’s NTS digital station in Sydney, Brisbane and Perth.
Bit of a blow for de-facto commercial station SportFM, which has taken SEN and Crocmedia content in the past. Surprised this isn’t airing on Macquarie Sports Radio though.

It’s because MSR is broadcasting the second cricket test between Australia and Sri Lanka, at the same time as Super Bowl.

Some of the regular readers of this forum may recall the 2nd display issue I had with my Bush BR320DABC digital radio with a switch-on of the radio at the power point causing the display just to show only WHITE light across the whole screen & despite leaving the radio unplugged for minutes, hours & a day or so - nothing worked at restoring the display.
Well I recently had the radio unplugged from the mains for over a week & to my very welcome surprise the display restored itself! I wonder if there is a large internal memory supercap that is involved that takes ages to discharge before a power up reset can take effect or if a self healing fuse is involved? I know not.
Anyway I make this post in case others with this same radio encounter the same problem & benefit from my experience.

Yes, what’s the point when Hope 103.2 is virtually a Sydney equivalent to Light FM?
At least JOY was something that wasn’t catered for in Sydney.

I can’t fathom the reason for Zed/Zig Digital. Is it a practical joke to remind Sydneysiders of Melbourne’s cultural superiority? With the Mardi Gras coming up, I daresay the feed will switch to Joy 949 in the near future.
If the person(s) behind Zig happen to be reading this- could you please put on 3PBS next?

Everyone excited - err excremented - to hear MMM Aussie tomorrow?

Zed/Zig might be jointly run by the Melbourne community broadcasters in a subtle attempt to get Sydneysiders visiting the Victorian capital? 
This probably won’t ever happen but I’d personally like to see the temporary broadcasts on Sydney FM (most notably AFTRS/Show Radio, Voice of Islam & 2CR) allowed to use that slice of DAB+ bandwidth.

If I hear it then it means I’ve forgotten to turn my alarm off. I hope they play Cold Chisel.

If SCA has anyway Kilobytes Left, Modern Digital will stay.
TBH, I’m actually surprised that Triple M even extended Modern Digital to all metro markets. Isn’t a “Modern Rock” music format basically what the East Coast Triple M metro stations are running whenever they’re not airing talk, sport or comedy?
