Nova Network

Listening to Nova Brisbane streaming, nothing local despite virtual live traffic slotted into 973 on automation/networking and MMM, B105 running local programs at 10pm at least, not listening to any streaming to know if 105 was local all evening this far or just MMM.

So, why doesn’t Nova ask network late nights Baggs to record Brisbane breaks with local info as it seems the collective noun show on 105 is running local breaks

It probably helps that Collective Noun broadcast from Brisbane.

Goes without saying.

Ben replacing Baggs - Ben Erbsland to move into nights on Nova, replacing Simon Baggs, from May 1. http://www.radiotoday.com.au/nova-ben-erbsland/

April Fools joke from Chrissie, Sam & Browny taking aim at FOX FM who added anchor Byron Cooke into the show’s title at the start of the year.

Nova playing the new Harry Styles single on the hour, every hour. WTF? A new low for Nova?

Is this just for the weekend?

Hit did the same thing during Ash London Live the other night with it playing every hour, they even promoted that’s what they were doing.

Nova did it too during Smallzy’s Surgery and KIIS 1065 during The Thinkergirls.

Even if it was the greatest song ever released (which it really is not), why would anyone want that much repetition? It’s madness!

Probably got paid by the record company to do it. There’s no way each station had exactly the same idea and they wouldn’t have been able to copy each other that quickly at that time of night.

Good thinking. Makes you wonder though about the integrity of these radio stations. It’s like cash for comment. The record companies control the playlists by splashing around heaps of cash. That’s disgusting.

Three stations in a market playing the same music, and yet you imply that there’s originality in CHR radio?

KTM played it twice in a row on their show. It was pumped up a lot, good marketers behind him.

Because Tim Blackwell has the tastes of a 14 year old girl and he wanted to play it twice when it was first released . :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: He also gushes about One Direction, Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez. :rolling_eyes:

True, but that kinda works for the audience Nova targets. They’re not going to play The Pixies for Marty :wink:

Which is why it is no longer number one. :wink:

Kate, Tim and Marty is the only drive show of the three “Hit music” stations running today. No doubt it’s pre recorded though.

Nova are working them hard this year. Back 2nd week of January and very little holidays compared to other drive shows.

It’s the same with Fitzy and Wippa. They were also on air this week as Kyle and Jackie O and Em and Harley had the week off. Of the 3, Em and Harley are the ones who really should have stayed on air.
