Yep, I was just thinking the same thing.
That Zinc playlist is very similar to what Mix was 10 years ago.
Hot Tomato is shit. Itâs NEWFM except with personalities.
Now that Capital Radio logs have reappeared on Lava here is the 9am-4pm Workday log for 93.5 Eagle-

Shelter from the storm by Bob Dylan them Too funky by George Michael. This is why I prefer 2ues music over 2ch/ wsfm / smooth. They would not play such a different genre of music as itâs too risky. Not to me. This is more like a SWR that would do that rather than a commercial station in a city.
Getting together some playlists for my eventual show on Braidwood FM. Hereâs a sample. Brackets of three songs- will have to adapt this as necessary of course:
Radio Waves- ROGER WATERS
YYZ- RUSH
Watcha Gonna Do- CHILLIWACK
Healing Hands- ELTON JOHN
Rock Me- ABBA
Rock N Roll Over You- MOODY BLUES
Connected- STEREO MCS
Come On Spring- ANTENNA
Flowers In The Rain- THE MOVE
Girl Canât Help It- JOURNEY
Baby I Love Your Way- BIG MOUNTAIN
Perfect Way- SCRITTI POLITTI
Standing On Higher Ground- ALAN PARSONS PROJECT
Mountain- CHOCOLATE STARFISH
Sha La La La Lee- SMALL FACES
Some of those transitions are obvious, some arenât. Have a listen to the vocals of the Journey song which go well with the next song. Also note how âMountainâ by Chocolate Starfish finishes.
Would be interested to know what people think. Would you listen to this?
I would listen. Especially if I could hear it on FM
My format is basically âsongs that sound good on radioâ. Closest to Radio Caroline (melodic rock) with a bit of outright pop every now and then. I will stay away from polarising genres like metal and hip hop, except for the âwrong songsâ :).
As you can see, even staying within these confines, there are plenty of songs worthy of airplay that donât see the light of day on commercial radio. That is my aim with the show.
As a sort-of follow up to my last post on here, these are the logs for SWR & 3mFMâs Saturday evening 80s programs. Awesome 80s on SWR runs from 4-8pm, & The 80s @ 8 on 3mFM runs from - you guessed it: 8-9pm. For continuityâs sake, Iâll do just 7-8pm for Awesome 80s.

Elton John - LITTLE JEANNIE
When In Rome - THE PROMISE
Kenny Loggins - NOBODYâS FOOL
Leo Sayer - HEART (STOP BEATING IN TIME)
The Bangles - HAZY SHADE OF WINTER
Some good songs there. Nothing At All / Heart is rarely heard these days. The Promise / When In Rome is a real gem. Canât think of the last time I heard that on Australian radio, although itâs on high rotation in the US. I recall hearing it literally every day on radio in LA a couple of years back - both KOST and K-Earth play it all the time. I also heard it on BBC Radio 2 on one of their 80s countdowns recently.
Itâs on one of my playlists as well. It follows âSaved By Zeroâ (Fixx) and âToo Low For Zeroâ (Elton John). You can guess the little theme in that bracket.
Great job @NDY definately a few âawesome 80s tracks in thereâ

With Triple M in Sydney & Central Coast both now having âRockâs Greatest Hitsâ, but carrying a different log from one another, I thought it would be worth looking at how the two differ from one another, in which both can be heard into each otherâs licence areas.

Personally, I am loving this âRockâs Greatest Hitsâ format. One of my mates said yesterday he did not want to get out of the car the other day because of the music that they were playing.
They really need to treat all SCA regionals like metro stations.
so the central coast is on the metro playlist
Yes. They are on the Brisbane and Adelaide log.
