Yeah 4BH occasionally play 2000s tracks too. Think they basically share the same playlist
The Australian is reporting that Nine wants to sell its radio network this year. Wonder if ACE will pick up the music stations? Or even the talk stations as well?

Ace might be able to pick up 3EE, but they’ve probably done too well managing 2UE/4BH that they’ll have priced themselves out of it.

As they’re AM stations, they’d be worth much less than an FM license.
SEN picked up 2CH during COVID for $5m and it rated higher than 2UE does now.
4KQ was a more expensive acquisition at $11m, due to its high ratings and extra 128kbps of DAB spectrum.
However, if all three (Magic, 2UE and 4BH) are sold in a bundle, then if ACE can get a good and fair price for them, it would be a good outcome.

Magic 1278 is now playing at 6:35am Sunday That Kiss by Faith Hill. A 2014 song
Ace should dump the current Classic Hits and use the Star 91.5fm format instead on Magic 1278, 2ue and 4bh instead
Instead of a Classic Hits station, Ace should use one of Magic’s Old slogans either
(1) The best songs of all time
(2) The songs you know and love
Play the best songs from 60s to now. Not hard is that
I doubt they’ll be making any radical changes to 4BH anytime soon. They could always put Star on DAB in the east coast capitals provided their agreement with Nine allowed it. (Or when the buy Nine Radio 
). Having said that I don’t mind some newer music mixed in with the classic hits.
