Aparently UPS failed at Sandgate which has now been fixed. UPS keeps things going between power outage and gen start.

I remember they stopped streaming when APRA/AMCOS wanted to charge extra fees for both FM and streaming.
If you look through this forum you can find a streaming link which was never removed and still works, but itās not made public on their website and radio apps etc.

Iām curious as to why marketing at Newfm are obsessed with boats. Is this a Bill thing? Theyāre giving away tickets to a boat party at the moment.
Giving away cruises left right and centre, pretty sure they gave an actual boat away a few years back as well.
Itās as bad as hit with Alphabucks.

Itās their promotions director. Apparently, he believes he was on the Titanic in another life. So, everytime there is cruise ship into Sydney or Newcastle - he always goes on a holiday. Weird.

The boat they gave away was like a tinny. Weak marketing promo.
I always thought the PD/CD chose the direction of the stationā¦ not Promotions.

PD and GM are best friends. Too good of friends if you ask me.

Content, Promotion and to a lesser extent Sales all have a say in the direction of a good radio outfit. They work hand in glove.
Sadly at a station like New, itās a little more of a clique from what Iāve been told.
