But 12 months ago Hit105 in Brisbane was No.1 overall. Brisbane is a rather tight market though. ---

> [@NRN11](#): > > But 12 months ago Hit105 in Brisbane was No.1 overall. Brisbane is a rather tight market though. You would be referring to the S5/2018 figures, where hit105 was #1 with 11.8%, with 4MMM, 97.3 & Nova not far behind, with only 0.4% separating #1 & #4. On a similar tangent, itā€™s amazing to think that just 12 months ago during S6/2018, 96fm was the lowest rating commercial FM station in Perth with 7.2%. Now, itā€™s knocking at Novaā€™s door for the #1 spot! šŸ˜± ---

> [@NRN11](#): > > But 12 months ago Hit105 in Brisbane was No.1 overall. Brisbane is a rather tight market though. Brisbane is a horrendously boring market at least from an FM perspective. Thank god for 4KQ and the fringe FM stations. As for the major FMs itā€™s in dire need of a shakeup. None of them seem willing to actually break away and try anything different and hence they are all stuck in this deadlock. Itā€™s not that theyā€™re competitive IMO itā€™s that they are all equally bad. 97.3 could be clear No 1 if they went broader and softer with the playlist and ditched the networked shows. Triple M could be clear No 1 if they did a 96FM Hit 105 would be No 1 if they copied 2dayā€™s playlist. But none of them will for some reason. ---

The Brisbane market is very different from Sydney due to there not being a WS FM or Smooth FM. The 2day playlist would go gangbusters in Brisbane for that reason. ---

Hit 107 in Adelaide is a good example, which has a similar format to that of 2Day, even using the same ā€œMore Music, More Varietyā€ positioner. Plus, its market is a bit similar to that of Brisbane, at least in terms of the number of commercial music stations (4 x FM; 1 x AM). The station is #1 in the 25-39s with 17.5%, and is 3rd in the 40-54s behind Mix 102.3 & 5MMM with 12.3%. ---

I wish the failing stations would at least do something. MSR and 2DayFM in Sydney are quite happy to just flounder along from survey to survey. MSR leaves me speechless. Canā€™t they see the relative success of 2CH, 4KQ, cruise or 6iX? They are rating a 1.1 and continue to persist with the whole endeavour. I would have pulled the plug a year ago. Thereā€™s no coming back from a 1 share. Please someone - flick the switch. As for 2DayFM - maybe itā€™s time for The New 2DayFM to shake things up as The Rock of the 20s next year. Do something. Anything. ---

2Day Fm should go for 4KQ / 2CA format. I guess they canā€™t be classic hits (give 2CH). If they keep the hits brand. Iā€™d also play some new music that would suit people who would like The Beatles. It might overlap a bit with Triple M especially some of the music played in the evening. Young people donā€™t listen to radio as much. So KIIS/Nova/The Edge is enough for Sydney. We donā€™t have a 2CA & 4KQ . 2CH is still a bit different. A more risky alternative they can go hard and heavy rock, maybe too Niche. Country wonā€™t work (remember Kick AM?). ---

Country is pretty different to what it was in the early 90s. Even Nova are playing some crossover tracks recently such as One Thing Right from Kane Brown (US country artist). Go and stream a typical major market US country station and much of the newer releases sound pop anyway (lots of hip-hop, pop or electronic elements), and many of those stations in the large cities do really well. ---

I think they need to go hard for the Smooth/WS audience which are both at the top. At the moment 2Day is trying to go for both KIIS and WS but failing. ---

Maybe Kick FM ,revive the brand šŸ™‚, or has it been taken from narrowcaster (like @2UW)? Although 2day ā€œbrandā€ has lots of goodwill. ---

Thatā€™s it - 973 have a great base and only need to sway a few tracks towards a smooth type list or a full on 80ā€™s/90ā€™s list. Either one would be an instant winner. ---
