Wonder if Georgia and others who will host today are permanent. Strange they haven’t announced the hosts.
Sounding good though.
Dan Burnstone on drive. Last heard on More FM days i think?
Rick Morin has moved over to Gold for nights.

I’ve been listening to Gold all day. I’m liking it. Definitely see it’s a semi replacement of the old Coast playlist. Assuming Coast will now skew more modern.

Oh sorry, didn’t see that.
Wonder what’s happened to Mel Homer then… The Hits with Jono & Ben perhaps?
gold needs a decent website like the other stations
The Breeze has moved into the new MediaWorks Hargreaves building this week.

“This audience is certainly under-served when they are a key demographic,” Mills said.
I always laugh when a radio operator claim a demographic is under served. Haven’t NZME deliberately altered the Coast playlist over the last few years to ditch its older audience. Remember when Hauraki dropped its classic rock format to find a larger younger audience that still haven’t shown up in significant numbers.

I’ve been listening to Gold for the last 2 days and enjoying it so far. Great combo of the old Coast, Mix and The Sound.

Been having a listen to Gold on and off on both FM and AM… Yeah they don’t have a bad mix, think I prefer The Sound a little bit more tho, more songs on The Sound that appeal to me… One thing I have to say, the Tauranga AM frequency needs some tech work, it is about 5db down then other AM stations in the area and the Multiband AGC is far to aggressive and the audio response is only about 4khz from what I can hear, likely cause it is still set up for Sport Talk. But then again I am picky when it comes to Audio
