if KCDX is commercial-free how do these guys make money? Unless it’s broadcasting from a bedroom studio operation.

Loved Shona Laing. Her other hit was Drive which was an awesome song. Gee River 94.9 plays some great tunes.

Thanks for the tip on KCDX and what’s the other one Radio Antenne? Triple M is dead to me.

421

BTW have to say this is my favourite thread of all time! It’s where I get all my ideas for iTunes downloads - thanks guys and girls.

422

Can’t believe it but I heard Had A Dream / Roger Hogson (ex Supertramp guy) today on OMG. Followed by Don’t Go / Pseudo Echo.

423

It’s actually Rock Antenne, which is based in Munich, Germany. They have a classic rock station called Classic Perlen, which you can see their playlist here: Song-Suche

As for KCDX, their playlist can be seen here: http://kcdx.com/

I don’t blame you. At least at around Brisbane, there’s always Rebel to compensate for the loss of Classic Rock Digital (and as a bonus, it’s on FM for many of those who don’t have DAB+ on their car radios), but as for anywhere else in Australia, there’s no other alternative on FM, AM or DAB+.

In fact, since the closure of Classic Rock Digital, Perth currently doesn’t have ANY rock stations on FM/AM/DAB+, especially since ARN had turned 96fm into a Mix 94.5 clone. :frowning:

424

Wow, that’s definitely one out of the box (Rodger Hodgson). And yes, the other classic rock station I listen to online is Rock Antenne Classic Perlen, as TV_E said above. Classic Perlen is AOR-skewed (think Journey, Styx, Boston, Sweet, etc.) and fairly upbeat. KCDX is a more adventurous version of MMM Classic Rock, though obviously skewed toward American bands. I think that Rodger Hodgson track gets played on both stations :slight_smile:.

425

I remember listening to KCDX online back in 2010 & discovered Rodger Hodgson’s album track “Hooked On a Problem” through that station, which came from the same album that “Had A Dream” appeared in.

426

Yeah, I’ve definitely heard it on KCDX. The playlist is basically a bunch of whole (or near-whole) albums from well-known and obscure classic rock bands alike.
