Great songs heard on radio

Now at Toowoomba, driving to the Gold Coast shortly where I’ll be until Monday then back home via the Pacific Hwy. Might do a day trip to the Sunshine Coast on Friday if the weather holds up.

How is 4WK sounding on 95.5?

Also curious as to whether the AM stereo 936 signal gets into Toowoomba at all?

95.5 is sounding excellent. Recption only good within about 5 kms of the CBD though.

963 seems fine in the CBD too.

Break In The Weather - Jenny Morris

Borrow My Heart - Taylor Henderson
(on Juice 107.3 Gold Coast -another pseudo Christian-commercial station)

Runaway Train - Soul Asylum

Yet another God Squadder befouling its church with its pseudo commercialism.

I don’t mind that, I wouldn’t listen to it at all otherwise. But as soon as an overly Christian song comes on, i change stations (again).

Yeah, we’re ‘blessed’ with them in this part of the world. Brisbane, both coasts and up the range all have those stations.

Forever Classic 70s, Canberra DAB, all from this week.

I’m impressed with this station. They play the rarer hits that 2CA used to play about 15 years ago. It’s now my go to when in the car.

I’d love to see them do a Forever Classic 80s station.

Is it on 97.5 FM ? My knowledge might be outdated here :grinning_face:.

Wow what a track on forever classic 70s.

That’s the Queanbeyan narrowcast station, which relays the Canberra DAB station.

The same in Goulburn, where it’s on 100.7 FM.

Thanks sorry for my out of date knowledge .

Not quite. 97.5 in Queanbeyan relays Forever Classic 60s, as does 100.7 Goulburn. FC70s is new and DAB/online only.

Haven’t extensively listened to FC60s but will give it a go from time to time.

Oddly enough we don’t have an 80s station on Canberra DAB; MMM 90s covers that decade.

There’s a gap in the Canberra market for a Forever Classic 80s station in that case.

Yep but 80s have always been a bit of an afterthought at 2CA…they are more in XL/GN’s wheelhouse.

I’d actually prefer a combined 60s/70s/80s station playing exclusively rarer tracks, call it Forever Classic Deep Tracks or similar. The Sound NZ have done that.
