Radio Stations - Music Logs

[tx42]

I’d love to hear what you are looking for in a Hot-AC type format… I’m programming Pulse FM, a youth radio station in Hobart. We’re going for a 90’s to now youth centric format…

Here’s today’s log on Lava - any suggestions?

Lava dropped out after that in the case of 2Day.

Anyway, this gives you an idea of how C91.3 compares with i98, Wave FM & 2Day. This really proves my point that C91.3 plays a better variety of music than the Wollongong stations. Even 2Day plays a better variety than Wave FM, which is something I wouldn’t have said a few years ago! How times have changed.

Wow I don’t mind that 2DAY FM playlist actually. Reminds me a bit of the Mix New Zealand playlist except 2DAY has the odd new song thrown in.

[Dj_Cazzah]

China Radio International (English Service) on Shortwave was playing Michael Jackson - Don’t stop til you get enough and Beyonce - Fever. Not bad, something enjoyable over shortwave anyway.

[dxnerd]

I’m shocked that ‘Bliss’ by Th’Dudes isn’t in that hour

‘Bliss’ is the Kiwi equivalent of ‘Khe Sanh’ for those that aren’t aware. I have never heard it on Aussie radio (now there’s an idea…)

[NRN11]

I have been hearing “That Look In Your Eyes” lately on The Sound rather than Bliss maybe they are giving Bliss a rest?

[TV-Expert]

@hemi340

The Triple M regionals are a joke.

@Radiohead

I think it’s sounding better than it did say 6 months ago, there doesn’t seem to be as much newer stuff as there was. But then it’s kinda faint praise, it’s still not great, just okay.

@TV-Expert

I think you might referring to what you’re hearing on 2GO, in which its weekday playlist is what you’ve described there, whereas Triple M Newcastle & most other regionals play more newer stuff.

Here’s the comparison between 2GO & Triple M Newcastle (which the latter also goes out to most other regional MMMs) from this afternoon, to get an idea of how different they are from one another.

107.7 2GO - Central Coast, NSW
“Music That Makes You Feel Good”
Tuesday 20th August 2019 - 1-2pm AEST

“Rain” Dragon
“Close To You” Maxi Priest
“Don’t Leave Me This Way” The Communards
“We Will Rock You”/“We Are The Champions” Queen
“Shadows of The Night” Pat Benatar
“When The Going Gets Tough, The Tough Get Going” Billy Ocean
“Love Is All Around” Wet Wet Wet
“Modern Love” David Bowie
“Kids” Robbie Williams/Kylie Minogue
“Follow You Follow Me” Genesis
“New Sensation” INXS

102.9 Triple M - Newcastle, NSW
“Newcastle’s Greatest Hits”
Tuesday 20th August 2019 - 1-2pm AEST

“The Look” Roxette
“Good Lord” Birds of Tokyo
“Real World” Matchbox 20
“Go Your Own Way” Fleetwood Mac
“Lovin’ Each Day” Ronan Keating
“If I Can’t Have You” Shawn Mendes
“Heart In Danger” Southern Sons
“Jump” Van Halen
“Day Drunk” Morgan Evans
“Hymn To Her” The Pretenders

[hemi340]

Nothing to flush there. 2GO would have to be the pick of them, but only just.

[Mechsta]

Triple M in Coffs was the carbon copy of what was aired in Newcastle that hour today. I always thought Newcastle did their own thing.

[TV-Expert]

Sometimes they do, sometimes they don’t.

[JLoz]

@TV-Expert

102.9 Triple M - Newcastle, NSW
“Music That Makes You Feel Good”

Newcastle’s Greatest Hits

[JLoz]

@Mechsta

I always thought Newcastle did their own thing.

Newcastle now runs the network log

Some more changes coming regionally soon tonally wise

[SouthCoastTV]

@TV-Expert

“If I Can’t Have You” Shawn Mendes

Shawn Mendes is overplayed to death on the Regional Triple M’s. I think I must have heard his songs on Triple M The Border at least 10 times during my three night stay at Albury a month ago.

[TV-Expert]

Inspired by this post, here’s an hour sample from today on 96fm (who had a big jump in the ratings released today), comparing with Mix 94.5 (who are now only 1% ahead).

[hemi340]

Thanks TV-Expert
I can see why 96FM went up in the ratings. I quite like that 96FM log

Yuk. With a log like that on Mix, how does that station rate so well in Perth. It looks very Triple M, “Music That Feels Good”ish.

[Laoma]

I know this cheating but this stereo 10 stations plays some great 80s. ARN should use this log for the iheart80s station.
