I heard that one too, it’s the newest song I’ve heard as well.
It’s probably a bit TOO new, perhaps they should stick to songs that are at least 5 or so years old, make it more of wider and more varied “Pure Gold” format.
Would like to hear some themed music programming eg. a “Ten From Then” with 10 songs from a certain year, 80s hour, double shots etc. Perhaps this will all come in good time.
Magic’s slogan is almost the same as gold 104.3’s
Magic: Playing the best music and more of it
Gold 104.3: Better Music And More Of It
Also I noticed in the weather reports they leave out the current temperature
Probably because it was recorded hours ago in some cases.
Magic is still not showing what song is playing. DLS only has Magic 1278, Melbourne’s Best Music.
I listened to 10,000 hours by Dan + Shay and Justin Bieber last Saturday morning on Magic 1278 but haven’t heard it since then.
Now overall I do like a fairly eclectic, some would say random, playlist however I think 4BH just jumped the shark - even for me.
Georgie Girl / The Seekers followed by Close To Me / The Cure… Umm no.
I have to give 2UE one thing. They play more music than any other station in Sydney.
I think the MD must be one of the three followers of my Sumo FM.
Ive been flicking through your sumo fm Spotify list this morning mr nerd. Some great stuff in there.
Ha I caught that one yesterday too. I must admit Im liking this new 2UE. Fix up the errors and do a proper launch and you have a decent station.
Im noticing “Tieline swish” all over 954am also. Perhaps that’s the STL these days?
Listening to the stream at work the other day, the audio was very processed… I must admit I like the “wall of sound”, reminded me of radio in the 90s. Got very fatigued listening after half hour though.
The sound of 96kbps MP2 audio is not what I want to hear again.
A World of Our Own by The Seekers, 1965, followed by And We Danced by The Hooters, 1985. I doubt you would hear that on any other Australian radio station.
You would expect the ABC’s Radio Stations to flog it because well… you know… 
Yes, it’s a real breath of fresh air, this music mix to Sydney radio. I compare this format to i98 FM when it first went FM in 90s. Although i98 had much more of a variety of shows with announcers, 70s Sunday night, classic 9 at nine, classic triple shots across the day etc. No where as budget as the new 2ue. But that was a different era.
This might be the wrong thread to post this. But since Macquarie Sports Radio was rebranded as 2UE in it’s music format. Of the little bit i have heard it has the news on the hour but sounds to me like they have no ads.
Magic DLS now showing song titles and artists. The 12 noon news was also shorter than normal and had today’s news! 
Has the sound improved?
I really never had a problem with sound but since they went to 96kbps it sounds pretty good.
For what it’s worth, here’s a nice clean image of 2UE incorporating “Now Playing” Song Info into their DAB+ Slideshow:
It’s not entirely without flaws though. When the track titles are too long, this happens:
I know these stations are being done on the cheap, but could they not have lashed out a tiny bit on some original logos and not just re-hash the old bland ones these stations had?
