Automated phone systems are bloody annoying.

2Days music is sounding pretty good I think.

More pop, less doof doof… definitely a slightly younger female skewed version of WSFM.

Yes it’s definitely improved over the last couple of weeks. It is now a better AC format, playing a good variety of music, and at least differentiating themselves from the others.

The only suggestion I would make would be to remove the 6pm ‘best of’ as there is just too much talk at that time of the day across the FM commercial stations. Only Smooth has ‘more music, less talk’ and 2Day FM should go down this route, from 6pm IMO.

Agreed. It’s more variety, but with more talk at the moment.

Clearly the shows are the stations weakness, not its music.

If responding to me - then yes, it is.

The podcast is very successful for Nova, and it’s their best performing podcast.

We are on the hunt for new Promotions crew members to join the 2DayFM Black Thunders and Triple M Rock Patrol in Sydney on a casual basis!

So now 2Day don’t play any new music? (Not according to the playlist)

That’s not the best move. They should follow the B105 playlist. That’s quite good.

They recently played Adele’s Easy on Me, but apart from that I haven’t heard no other recent hits in the last couple of hours.

Just checked. That is the only new song they’ve played at all today.

Might be looking at stealing listeners from 2WS and Smooth by being somewhat the same but still different.

But what’s the strategy to actually get them to sample it?

People who liked the hit music would have switched off, but where’s the promotions to get people to sample the new format?

Nothing of course.

Gemma Fordham still there? Lovely lady obviously but she’s had enough goes at this. Time to clean house.

They have Ed Kavalee that used to do it. Just make him do it again.

I know I’m clutching at straws here, but…

WSFM. They haven’t been branded as “2WS” on-air for about 20 years now, JBar! :wink:

Going by what I heard yesterday, I think Smooth are slowly moving away from their core music format to include younger, heavier tracks that were 2DayFM staples in previous years.

Really, how do songs from Kid Rock or Bruno Mars fit on a station which for years had been positioned as “Sydney’s easy place to relax”?!

Why am I not surprised? Don’t think any of 2DayFM’s music formats have been promoted too well in recent years, the ratings largely reflect that.

She’s still Head of the Hit Network, but surely Matthew “Eggo” Eggleston (as station Content Director) would be making most of 2DayFM’s day-to-day programming decisions? Since his current stint in the chair only began in May, don’t expect him to leave anytime soon.

Forgive me since I’ve never been a listener. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Which has actually cost them listeners and therefore is an opportunity for 2Day to pick up some of those and more.

LOL yeah, that’s true.

Realistically, I would’ve thought WSFM & 2UE are more likely to benefit from disenfranchised Smooth listeners than 2DayFM.
