2UE broadening out its music - playing Everytime You Cry (Farnham and Human Nature) plus Tina Turner’s The Best in the past 30 minutes.

Probably just modernising its music somewhat to stay relevant to its demos.
A bit like how Star 104.5 has dropped all of the 80s music.

Going back to how it was under Nine?
The mix was decent then, even if they only very rarely dabbled into the 90s.

Agreed. I much preferred the sound of 2UE just before ACE took over it.

4BH would be absolutely perfect if it wasn’t for BBQ Bob doing his bloody ridiculous “words of inspiration and positive thoughts.”
Just STFU and play music.

Yes I have to agree. The breakfast show seems to jar with the rest of the station. Even the music he plays at breakfast is just too heavy at times, for that time of the day.

4BC’s LG&M really need to be on 4BH breakfast with BBQ Bob on Mornings.

In 1957 when Stewart Lamb, owner of 2UE decided, boldly, to introduce Top 4O radio into Australia, he chose some extraordinary talents to launch it. Gary O’Callaghan, John Laws, Russ Walkington and from 4BH, Bob Rogers.
Bob joined 2UE on less money than he was on at 4BH, where he was a huge star at the time.
At the age of 97, Bob Rogers died today after spending an extraordinary 78 years on air.
Bob was as big a star as they came. His programs on 2UE, 2SM and 2CH were always a master class in communication. and sometimes controversy. Bob didn’t like talkback, his was fashioned into a magazine, interview talk program - it set the standard format for morning radio for decades.
There is only his arch rival, John Laws left of that extraordinary class of 1957. Still on air daily at 2SM and the network.
2UE will celebrate 100 years on air January 26 next year, amongst the roll call of legendary broadcasters over its illustrious history will be Robert Barton Rogers OAM.
Rest in peace legend and thank you.

Is a good innings! Sadly were going to see more of the old guard disappear and its not a good thing for radio.
RIP Mr Rodgers, thanks for the memories!

I just heard a sports credit/sponsor message on 4BH advertising to listen to SENQ, download the SEN app.
Interesting. No mention of 693AM. Just an ad for SENQ and the app.
Is this common on 4BH?
You wouldn’t hear an ad for the iHeart Radio app on Nova/SCA stations. Just odd.

I’ve heard it on 2UE this afternoon.

Yea, I’ve heard those ads in the last week or two, not before then.
I do find it amusing that most of the people listening to 4BH are likely to be ex 4KQ listeners who very deliberately moved to 4BH when 4KQ became SENQ

Yes, I have heard it on 2UE also. Hard to believe 2UE listeners would bother with SEN

Yeah I’ve heard it too. People are on 4BH to get away from SEN. And if they are going to spend millions to buy 693, why not even mention the frequency lol

Definitely a worthy objective. Something I certainly aspire to and practice without fail.
