2HD’s 90.5 relay at Belmont North now seems to have a ‘stereo’ sound output (not just a pilot light).
However, the sound quality isn’t real good, the audio seems to be favouring the left channel, and I’m not even sure that it’s “true” stereo, it could be something in the audio processing that is creating that impression?
Should be stereo as it is fed via IP when I was working there
thanks, for some reason, it’s only ever been outputting mono (or the same sound on both left and right) at the TX (with a stereo pilot) for some reason up until now.
Likely cause the feed was mono coming out of the studio for sometime
The ill fated first location of the Belmont translator in the bushy semi rural setting, has that pole been removed now?
I think so… I will check next time I’m out.
" Hit 106.9 and 105.3 NEWFM have considerably closed the gap in the latest GfK survey of the area."
I checked for the pole today, GONE!
You never would have known it was there in the first place now.
Amazing, thank you @Radiohead
More changes at New FM - Kath has left the Novos after a few months on air. She has been temporarily replaced by Ariana Gatti (former WIN News Journalist). It’s understood she was hired as a casual newsreader before being put on the show immediately after.
All I can say is… HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Seriously, put Joel Gosper on brekky, just play music and news and a few phone topics.
Run clean the rest of the workday with 80s, 90s and Now, tighten the music slightly and get a jock for Drive.
The Novos brand has well and truly run its course.
100% agree with that line-up & format.
Let the music variety be the hero rather than the talent.
Jess Rouse is leaving NEW News as well. Maybe going to MMM with Hamish Finlay going into teaching? Although last I heard, SCA were in a “hiring freeze” - shame it’s not the same for firing.
She’s doing casual work at SCA but has got a full time job outside of radio now.
Poor thing, how many people have had to ditch radio for a full time job beyond media? A great shame when circumstances conspire against good talent.
yes, regional radio is really just a foot in the door for a lot in the industry… there aren’t as many opportunities there anymore
I’d actually love to know if people are in the loop of where talent for NEWFM overt the last two years have ended up?
Specifically Jade, matty, Brandon, Jackson and Brad? Would love to hear?
Jade moved to Qld with her husband & bub & planned to work in her Marriage celebrant business, out of the media.
Brandon was/is working out of the media after a stint at ARN Sydney, but I can’t remember exactly where, but he’s currently looking to get back to Coast FM 96.3 Gosford.
I don’t know about the others.
Currently at Sky News
