Yes, life goes on. I was down at Tyrepower Morningside again last week and 4BH was still blaring :smiley:. They used to always be on 4KQ up until it finished.

They were on Triple M last time I was in there. It was pretty crappy sound too, struggling to pick it up on FM so it must be a shockingly bad radio :laughing:. If I recall, the previous owners used to have 4KQ on a DAB radio which sounded pretty good.

At a workplace earlier in the week and they had SEN on DAB - assuming to listen to the World Cup. They usually have one of the DAB MMMs playing.

As seen on Cup Fever most night. Santo Cilauro’ “transistor radio” appears to be a MW/SW with “hi-fi” sound :smiley:

Bit of history of Tasmanian radio from a TV segment, show and year unknown but from Southern Cross Television, with some names and memories from the former 7EX which by this time had become a racing station.

The show is Contact, hosted by Ron Christie, I know it was on weekdays at 1.30pm in 1993 but not sure it made it into 1994 post-aggregation or not.

I think 2GN Goulburn has been owned by the Blyton group since 1990. Does anyone here have Goulburn Post articles confirming the month? A 2022 RadioInfo article about the GNFM conversion says “the Goulburn based station that is a part of the Capital Radio Network and has been under its ownership for the past 32 years”.
