Spending a bit of time on 4BH on and off and must say I think they’ve nailed the easy music format. It’s sounding great.

Their call sign is the Greatest Hits of the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s, Easy Music 4BH, Something 2UE and Magic need to Do.

I think with 2ue, 4BH. Ace should play Easy music from 60’s to now instead of restricting them just to 60s-80’s

With Magic 1278. They should start playing music from 90’s as well. I think by now 90’s is classic as well

That is my 2 suggestions

Yes there are also a handful of 60’s songs they play that need to be relegated to the bottom of the list. Include more 90’s, I agree 100% more 90’s.

Absolutely correct. Definitely 2UE/4BH should be playing 90s and also 00s +. As i have posted on here before, the focus should be on Easy Music not just limited to a few defined oldies decades. It really annoys me to hear their positioner as playing “60s, 70s and 80s.” Even the 80s is now some forty years ago ! This is not a classic hits format, it is Easy Music. Forget the music era, focus instead on the music genre ACE.

Does Ace need us to tell them to drop the doing the "greatest hits of the 60’s, 70, 80’s?

They should just use the same music log as 3mp. 3mp does not have that problem. They play music from 60s to now. 3mp’s slogan is Melbourne & the Mornington Peninsula’s Easy Music

2ue and 4bh share the same website design as 3mp and the logos are the same. But the music log is different between 2ue/4bh and 3mp  
for some unknown and strange reasons I noticed

I agree. They should be playing easy listening from the 60s to now. It’s about the genre not the decades. They can still focus on core decades like the 70s and 80s but include select newer songs that fit the format.

4BH used to do this in the late 90s and early 00s in fact.

2UE/4BH are Oldies/Classic Hits Stations as is Magic 1278.

seems a bit odd then that they’ve branded 2UE/4BH the same as 3MP as easy music and not aligned them to Magic/Classic Hits.

Agree 100%. From the largest market Sydney perspective … 2UE should not be oldies classic hits. We have that mouldy classic hits stuff (60s,70s,80s) oozing from WS, 2CH, etc. The gap is Easy Music including up to new easy hits. If ACE keep playing so limited/safe they will struggle imho.

No. Easy Music is not limited to oldies. Easy Music is a genre which includes some oldies/classic hits but also should be a lot broader to include newer easy music. Don’t confuse era with genre … totes different.

True that. Take Lewis Capaldi “Someone you loved” (from 2019) or literally anything by Adele. Newish songs that would fit UE/BH like a glove

Also, on their website, there is now no mention of ‘easy music’ next to 4BH on its logo, unlike with 2UE & 3MP. Further proof of this is that 4BH has a “Music Panel”, whilst 2UE has an “Easy Music Panel”.

Wonder if ACE is going to change the music format on 4bh when 4kq goes SEN in July then?

UPDATE: Trevor Sinclair has posted that “we are now Classic Hits 4BH”.

4BH’s Easy Club is now called VIP Club too.

Plus the fact their breakfast show was always referred to as the More Music Breakfast Show rather than Easy Music could tell us that ACE always wanted to keep that flexibility.

I’d assume whilst 4KQ winds down its classic hits, that 4BH immediately starts ramping it up.

Why wait till July? It’s not like anyone really owns the term “Classic Hits”.

The bonus here would mean that eventually 2UE would either be running its own log, or sharing with 3MP.

… I’d still prefer the Magic log on 2UE any day.

Yeah I agree. Classic hits can include easy music. 4bh should go classic hits right away.
