Not really the point. I was mentioning two songs that didn’t flow at all. And how many head bangers would then get turned off by something soft and whispered.
Once upon a time jingles would smooth that transition.
I didn’t mind at all. In fact I thought it was kinda hilarious.
Gotta remember that people in this forum are radio geeks and will tolerate a lot more than the general public which rules by the off or change station buttons.
Yes I think the flow is important. It doesn’t mean that the consecutive need to be too similar, it just means they should flow. The tempos can change but just not too “clangingly”. I personally don’t want to hear Thunderstruck / ACDC next to Celine Dion. But there’s a middle ground that’s easy to find if you’re a talented music programmer.
… they should play People watching - Sam Fender, currently receiving lots of airplay in the UK and Aotearoa. Charting #4 and #24 respectively. Has a really cool hot AC upbeat feel.
No doubt there’ll be some George Thorogood and ZZ Top in the WS Summer 500.
I think a massive ‘wow’ factor would be if they kicked it all off with some…
Josie’s on a vacation far away, come around and talk it over
(and I’m not talking about the Diplo remix that got airplay on Dance Hits and Novanation in 2024).
Most recently, Sarah was senior show producer on The Front Bar on Seven.
“Show Director”? Wow a new term which I thought only K&J needed.
Except theirs is called “Shitshow Director”
isn’t the show director Kyle? 
I guess a showrunner’s job these days involves so much more than just the show itself, but all the related content that goes with it. I think this is where there is some real potential for the COCS to extend its footprint. More media spots on morning television, more events based sporting promos and another book perhaps?
Looking at the Gold101.7 website, it looks like they’ve opted to keep the 13 WSFM studio number (for now at least). One remaining homage to their heritage.
It reminds me when Talking Lifestyle had the openline number 13 12 83 which translated to 131 2UE (even after they killed off the 2UE brand).
I wonder if 134653 13GOLD was available and if they tried to get that?
Could have been used in Melbourne too
The number 134653 13GOLD is not connected.
More than a week after the name change, 101.7 is still running the ‘WSFM is now Gold 101.7’ sweepers…
I suspect they’ll keep running them until Jonesy & Amanda return on 20th (if that date is correct).
Why are these censored?
Um, because Gold is a dirty word? 
No I just did it so someone could try and guess what the number might mean eg. like how 139736 is 13WSFM
It’s no ■■■■■■■■ though.
I quite like that. Looks quite good. I wonder how much of a new sound it’ll actually be? Or is the new sound just the sound of the new name…
Apparently, the playlist is being refreshed/modernised a little - I’m guessing it’s referring to that… hopefully not too much different than before, just with more tracks added so it’s less repetitive.
