Radio Stations - Music Logs

Why not, is it because of reception?

Fairly safe playlist except for a handful of ‘unflogged’ songs. Not what it used to be.

It’s because everyone has to be listening to the same station :confused:

I thought by “we” you meant everyone.

Given the recent discussions about 2GO on the relevant threads (particularly the “Central Coast Radio” thread) on the wake of Sarah & Paddy’s axing, I thought it be worth unearthing some of the past 2GO logs that I’ve done from the days of when they had its own music log & dominated in the local radio ratings, both overall & in the 40-54s. I’ve originally posted those on the old MS forums back in the day, which are now inaccessible, so I thought it’s worth sharing again for historical purposes of what the station used to sound like.

Below are some of the logs from 2007 & 2008.
A brief background: In those days, 2GO & Sea FM were owned by Macquarie Regional Radioworks (later Macquarie Southern Cross Media, after it merged with Southern Cross Broadcasting in mid-2007), which as the name suggests, focused on regional markets, with no assets in metro markets, unlike under the current SCA ownership. Therefore, 2GO wasn’t part of the Triple M network. Rival station Star 104.5 had a rock format back then & was rating way behind 2GO.

"70s to Now & Everything in Between"
Monday 18th February 2008 - 10-11am AEDT

"Hey There Delilah" Plain White T’s
"Reelin’ In The Years" Steely Dan

"You Took The Words Right Out of my Mouth" Meatloaf
"Jump" Van Halen
"Pictures of You" The Last Goodnight
"Rocket Man" Elton John

As you can see, back in those days, 2GO played plenty of 70s & 80s music, and wasn’t as reliant on the ‘90s-now’ compared to today under the network log from the Gold Coast that is present on most Triple M regional stations.

It’s little wonder why regional commercial radio stations are not as interesting now compared to what it was a decade ago. :frowning:

Welcome to the usual logs for New Year’s Eve around the world! This year I’ve gone a little different in that a couple of the East Coast logs are longer than the normal 2 hours leading into midnight. This has required me to listen to streams on my laptop and tablet as well as the local station through my phone at the same time. I’ve also added the odd comment that may or may not be agreeable, plus in the NZ log which is replaying a countdown there’s an explanation as to why a certain song was ranked inside the top 10. So without further ado…

Except for Disturbed, that’s a awesome log. :grinning:

I’m hoping to be up about 5AM tomorrow morning (and given the weather here it’s a possibility, sweating buckets at 9:15PM) so I can do a couple of hours from a South African Rock Station, just for something very different.

:nauseated_face: I was in Rocky a week back and the music on Triple M CQ and 4CC sounded the same. I found it hard to find a decent radio station in Rocky. I am finding the regional Triple M stations are playing a lot of that crap cheap daggy 80’s and 90’s Music lately.

To close out the Australian NYE, I’ve decided to give 96FM another chance after ditching it a couple of years ago upon KIIS affiliation. Perhaps it’s to give a different perspective of music according to owner rather than anything dramatic that will make me listen to the station regularly again. Anyway…

Given the recent conversations on the “Southern Cross Austereo (Regional)” thread…

…I’ve dug up the old playlists that I’ve done over the years from when 2GO had the original “Greatest Hits” format.

Here’s one from nearly 5 years ago.

107.7 2GO - Central Coast, NSW
“Central Coast’s Greatest Hits”
Tuesday 19th February 2013 - 11am-12pm AEDT

“Working For The Weekend” Loverboy
“Behind Blue Eyes” Limp Bizkit
“California Girls” Beach Boys (these days, you’d be lucky enough to hear the David Lee Roth cover on the station)
“Something So Strong” Crowded House
“Daylight” Maroon 5
“Message In a Bottle” The Police
“L.A. Woman” The Doors
“Something That I Used To Know” Gotye feat. Kimbra
“Hold On Tight” Electric Light Orchestra
“King of The Mountain” Midnight Oil

107.7 2GO - Central Coast, NSW
“Central Coast’s Greatest Hits”
Monday 9th September 2013 - 11am-12pm AEST

“Hey Little Boy” Divinyls
“She’s So Mean” Matchbox 20
“People Everyday” Arrested Development
“Rebel Yell” Billy Idol
“Crazy” Gnarls Barkley
“Bright Side of The Road” Van Morrison
“Resolution” Matt Corby
“Better” Screaming Jets
“Love Song” Simple Minds
“Love Story” Taylor Swift (back when she was more country-oriented before going more pop-oriented)

In early 2014, 2GO & the “Localworks” stations went with the “Real Music Variety” format, which could be said to be the early incarnation of the “Greatest Hits from the 80s to Now” format that would be introduced network-wide at the end of 2015.

107.7 2GO - Central Coast, NSW
“Real Music Variety”
Tuesday, 15th April 2014 - 1-2pm AEST

“Harder To Breathe” Maroon 5
“Hold Me Now” Thompson Twins
“Tell Me How It Ends” Bernard Fanning
“Tainted Love” Soft Cell
“We Belong” Pat Benatar
“It’s a Beautiful Day” Michael Buble
“All I Want Is You” U2
“I Don’t Wanna Be” Gavin DeGraw
“Listen Like Thieves” INXS
“Team” Lorde
“I Don’t Want To Miss a Thing” Aerosmith

Not long after that log was done, 2GO, along with KO, went with a more 70s/80s-based (with minimal amount of newer music) “Greatest Hits” format, perhaps in response to KO slipping in the overall ratings for the first Newcastle ratings survey of 2014, particularly in the 40-54s, in which it went down 9% (but still holding on to #1 in both Overall & 40-54s).

Here’s 2GO playlist nearly a year after the format shift.

107.7 2GO - Central Coast, NSW
“The Central Coast’s Greatest Hits”
Monday, 2nd March 2015 - 10-11am AEDT

“You Got It” Roy Orbison
“We Will Rock You/We Are The Champions” Queen
“Poison Arrow” ABC
“Budapest” George Ezra
“All Fired Up” Pat Benatar
“Heart of Gold” Neil Young
“Just Can’t Get Enough” Depeche Mode
“Yellow” Coldplay
“What’s My Scene?” Hoodoo Gurus
“The Things We Do For Love” 10cc
“Time of Your Life (Good Riddance)” Green Day

As you can see above, 2GO & the other SCA Localworks stations were much better back then than now. :slight_smile:

A question…Does 2GO take the Gold Coast music log? If so the 2GO music log would be very similar to the Star 104.5 music log.
