Gold Network

Not according to the music logs. Was it played as part of a segment (e.g. about the Grammys, perhaps)?

Will be the song of the same name by The Black Eyed Peas.

Don’t trust iHeartRadio’s metadata - it’s like a worse version of Shazam.

According to log on Lava, at 10:22am, the Black Eyes Peas version of ‘I Gotta Feeling’ was played.

I can’t see the Chappell Roan song listed at all, but Lava isn’t always right either.

My guess is that they may have played a small part of the Chappell Roan song, perhaps in reference to the Grammy’s? I have noticed that the iheart radio app will pick it up and list it, even if not played in full.

Ok interesting it was off the iHeart app. I was surprised at the song choice for a new hit!

2WS FM used to also play old and new when it had a hits and memories format back in the 90s

I do agree though - nothing wrong with mixing in newer songs if it fits the sound of the station.

Did almost drive off the highway last week hearing Gold 104.3 playing Lady Gaga - Bad Romance.

When you’re too old for Gold, you head on down to 3MP

Yeah, or up here, probably 2UE DAB for me.

That was the first song I heard on Gold when my alarm woke me on Saturday morning (I think). In my barely awake state I assumed I had put The Fox on the night before.

Sounds like a nightmare. :laughing:

Same. No tech in my bedroom.
Got a nice DAB alarm clock.

Yep I’ve got a great little DAB alarm clock. Even if you lose power at any point it just resets the time and alarms automatically. Love it.

I just love how a discussion about a radio station suddenly turns into one about alarm clocks! :laughing:

Even better is how I never need to change it for daylight savings. All automatic. Love it.

Love it. Mine even has the feature that if the DAB signal is off air it defaults to a buzzer.

Ah great, my two favourite things, alarm clocks and DAB. :persevere:

:laughing:

Could be worse, you could be discussing four of your favorite things - the downfall of the Gold network, alarm clocks, DAB and just how great I am. :laughing:
