Hit Network

Err this was a lot more old school than I was expecting to see…

Honestly if 2Day keeps failing miserably in Sydney, they should give a commercial classical music format a go.

Pete also worked at Mix 106.3 in Canberra for a couple of years. P.S. it’s not called Hit94.5.

Off coarse it’s not

Jamie Angel is on 2Day FM this afternoon.

Quite unusual to have the weekday breakfast presenter host a weekend shift.

Has Music For Breakfast ended along with all the other breakfast shows for the year?

Probably prerecorded.

I get the feeling…boom boom, that Mix 94.5 won’t move too far from its current format and will be part of Hit Network purely to satisfy national advertising, much like the same way it was part of Triple M.

Interesting how many of the networked shows they take apart from Carrie and Tommy.

I keep reading comments from people who seem to be in the know that Mix will be “Hits & Old School” from Tuesday.

I agree.

Despite having a “blue circle with red” logo that was in-line with other Today Network stations prior to the mid-2000s, I don’t think Mix 94.5 was a pure Today Network station back then (at least not in the same way as 2DayFM/Fox/B105/SAFM and to a lesser extent, NXFM & 104.7 Canberra) so one would probably expect a similar story after Tuesday’s switch.

Sure we’ll see a 2020 Hit Network-style logo for Mix 94.5 and some of the network shows like Carrie & Tommy, but music wise I think the Perth station will largely run its own race. Also wouldn’t mind predicting that we could potentially see the Hit stations in Regional WA rebrand to Mix sometime in 2021 (while the existing Triple M stations remain as they are, of course), similar to how Hit Mt Gambier/Limestone Coast became SAFM earlier this year.

[Bergoine]

That would defeat the point of dropping Hit 92.9. If they wanted to keep Hits and Old School, they could have brought in 92.9 PMFM and moved Mix 94.5 to become Triple M.

[Travis]

yeah I agree. It’s weird.

They’ll be using “Hits from Then to Now” and “Get That Feeling” on air, like the other Hit stations, not Hits & Old School.

[stilesykenny]

Exactly, I haven’t heard the Hits & Old School slogan used on air for a while now.

While i dont think it will be the same as the east coast Hit stations i think it will still go younger.

SCA won’t have both stations positioned for an older demographic - both fighting with 96 and leaving Nova on its own.

Does anyone else wonder if SCA may revert the provincial stations in the Hit Network back to their heritage names? ie. Sea FM Gold Coast and Hobart, NXFM Newcastle and FM104.7 Canberra (if CBR doesn’t become a Triple M with Mix 106.3 joining the Hit Network). As I understand it, none of them take the regional breakfast shows.

Sea FM Gold Coast and Hobart

Not sure Sea FM Hobart would be considered the heritage name of 7TTT, Now Triple T, that would be great to see/hear!

Sea FM and NX would probably be most likely. 6th and 7th biggest cities in Australia and a lot of heritage for both. Sea FM Gold Coast was the original before the Sea FM network evolved. Think it was also the first commercial FM outside the capital cities.
