Since the former Redwave stations are being absorbed into the SCA empire next week, here’s what they sound like now - and what they will probably sound like afterwards.

Triple M
“Greatest Hits”
Wednesday 11/03/2020 1-2pm
The Rolling Stones - START ME UP
Men At Work - DOWN UNDER
Tom Cochrane - LIFE IS A HIGHWAY
Post Malone - CIRCLES
Billy Joel - WE DIDN’T START THE FIRE
Vance Joy - WE’RE GOING HOME
Free - ALL RIGHT NOW (I thought they were only doing 80s-Now?)
Birds Of Tokyo - TWO OF US
Whitney Houston - HOW WILL I KNOW
Oasis - DON’T LOOK BACK IN ANGER
Seaforth - LOVE THAT

So the RedFM listeners are in for a real shock, but suprisingly the Spirit log isn’t quite as dissimilar to the Triple M log as I first thought. I suspect SCA have been skewing it towards the greatest hits log since they brought the station. Also, would anyone be interested in seeing how community stations daytime formats stack up against each other, or their commercial ‘competitors’ (for lack of a better word).
