Every 10 doesn’t allow for long length interviews with politicians etc.
yep. by the time you squeeze in adverts you coluld be looking at 8.5 mins. add intros and you’d get maybe 5 questions

I can hear the new positioner now:
“4BC, the Traffic Network”
Or 3AW (in their “talking Melbourne” song style)
“3AW, only traffic”

Traffic every ten minutes is a staple of most US news/talk stations.

And by extension, it means overseas people won’t be able to hear live NRL via the 2GB app either.

Can’t they through the SEN or NRL apps? Or on Tune-in (I think RadioApp) or similar via SEN?
There are also plenty of websites and other apps which carry radio streams.

They’re not attaching much revenue to the traffic reports.
Be interesting to see how much it interferes with existing formats of the shows?
Wonder if 3Aw’s updates will still come from from the dept of transport. I’m not sure they’re live atm. But not sure.

From Nine Radio (Music)
Traffic every 10 mins, how much talk can they fit in?
This is the latest Ad running for the new number on 3AW. This is the 3rd version they have running as there are ones with different versions of the theme under it. I’ll try to cap the other ones.

Think he’s refering to the ACE regional AM stations being overloaded with talk.

Yeah - 2AY for example is more or less a 3AW simulcast, with absolutely tiny blocks of music programming. Other stations in the network I think have a few extra shifts of not being 3AW, but it’s really a lot.
I suppose I wonder if they are using operating Nine’s music stations as a part of a deal to keep their stations full of Nine Radio syndicated content - when Triple M regional have dropped a number of shows of late.

Essentially all commercial radio in the US and UK (with the exception of those in smaller markets and not part of a big network) is geo-blocked (unless in some cases you use a VPN). The Audacy app in the US is the only way you can access the streams of their O&O stations on a cellphone (none of their stations are on TuneIn, MyRadioTuner or other third party radio streaming apps) this app is only available on US app stores.
No they aren’t Live. Haven’t been for quite a while now.
Caught a few this arvo, still from Dept of Transport but the spot following the 6pm news was read by the same person as ABC Melbourne, so fair to say somebody isn’t live.
Must be getting something, sponsored by Hyundai with a full length spot following.
