Radio Data System (RDS)

Sydney and Brisbane are ALL CAPS TRIPLE M still as far as I know.

I think Adelaide is also Title Case Triple M like Melbourne.

I donā€™t understand why they havenā€™t adopted the DAB+ labels - MMM105.1 for Melbourne and MMM94.3 for Gippsland

Id prefer to see this standard across the board.

Or 105.1MMM and 94.3MMM

They could use ā€œMMMELBā€ on 105.1, which they used to have as the direct Triple M Melbourne website url.

What about 97.9? Itā€™s promoted as much (if not more) than 94.3, particularly since the Valley is where they will get most of their listenership.

If they have a separate feed that goes down to the valley, then they could run 97.9 MMM RDS on that as well.

That would require additional hardware as itā€™s only an FM repeater

Subsequent to all the action going on in the Hit Network thread, I can confirm that 105.3 in Brisbane now has the station name ā€˜B105ā€™ once again

It might break best practice, but surely B105 as the PI Code would have been tempting.

Updated RDS to go with new HIT imaging.

Now all capitals on both HIT101.3 and HIT106.9 (previously only the H was capitals).

Dare say Hit102.3 will be the sameā€¦ will check next time Iā€™m out in the car.

Yes, Hit 102.3 Port Macquarie - which can be received in elevated parts of Newcastle, most of the time.

Though in the spirit of the recent B105 and SAFM rebrands, I wonder if a change to ROX FM 102.3 and 105.1 is on the cards?

As much as Iā€™d like to see that happen, Iā€™d say itā€™s unlikely.

And the ROX brand isnā€™t one that suits the music played on HIT.

Unless it resurfaces on 100.7 / 106.7 instead and replaces the Triple M brand.

Or they kind of do a Perth and flip the frequencies ie. HIT moves to 100.7/106.7

Iā€™ve just come back from Regional NSW and all the Hit stations are in caps now. Even the QLD regionals are.

Thought it may have been and I must say looks much nicer than the lower caps but that it replaced.
