Rod Maldon working his behind the scenes magic with Triple M, really focusing on the key messaging and getting the song mix right with the content team. Working well so far. Game on.
Do Triple M GC have a different log compared to the other regional Triple M’s?
no, same log
Best showing on the 92.5 freq since S1/2019
It’s a bit sad to see Hot Tomato heading in this direction. What are ARN doing? They seem unfocussed and making blunders with a few of their key stations (e.g. KIIS 97.3 too).
They previously stated in one of their many “spin” articles that they consider Hot Tomato a “metro” station, so why aren’t they treating it as such and putting some thought into the music for a start. Hot Tomato was at its best when its playlist was entirely tailored to the market and local competition. It also used to have a bit of an “edge” in the early days. Not any more, it sounds uninspired and just like any other station these days.
Same with River 94.9. A wasted opportunity. Even the Star stations in NQ aren’t what they were.
Interesting that SENQ has comparable ratings in the Gold Coast to Brisbane (0.5 now, 1.0 last time in the gold Coast vs. 0.8 now, 0.4 previously in Brisbane). Other Brisbane stations rate less in the Gold Coast.
One reason would be that there is a SEN station on the Gold Coast that people probably mark down in their diary.
I’m sure it has probably been mentioned before - but well done to Nova106.9 on their popularity on the GC. Not a bad result.
