There has been comments about the Triple M regional stations that carry the “Feels Good” log, which is said to be getting worse by the year. Wave FM in Wollongong, owned by Grant Broadcasters, is another such station, in which it plays much more new music, with only 1-2 songs from the 80s per hour.
The question, which is better or worse? Triple M regional or Wave FM?
Thanks to Lava, we can find out, by taking a sample hour from this afternoon.

As much crap as people give for the following, and the fact that it’s generic across the wider network, I think the Triple M regional stations have a better playlist than Wave FM, as they at least play a bit more older music from before 2000s. Heck, I think even New FM, which has a similar positioner to that of Wave FM, has a better playlist than Wave FM!
