Radio Stations - Music Logs

Both Wollongong stations are awful IMO.

Think nothing of the 2 Gong stations but that 2DAY list is interesting to say the list. Don’t completely hate it either.

:open_mouth: There should be a law for 2 stations in the same market having the exact music format. I really feel for people in the Gong. As for the 2Day log, I could actually listen to that.

An interesting observation about the 2Day FM playlist is today the exact same songs were played at 9am and 7pm.

I am a big fan of the Rock Antenne log. Upbeat and AOR heavy.

I think all three stations put together a good log for their respective formats and the ‘feel’ for all of them is generally upbeat with a bit of variety.

Antenne Bayern has been running a 24 hour telethon on Friday 17 December, raising money for a number of charities across Bavaria. For a donation listeners can request a song and by midday German time the station had raised over 1 million Euro.

Same as Triple M Sydney, WSFM Sydney and SWR 999 Blacktown. It appears to be the tradition on radio stations.

For other stations: 2EC played Party Rock Anthem to start off 2022 while 2ST played Crocodile Rock.

First song of 2022 on Triple J was Stay by The Kid Laroi and Bieber. No doubt will do well in this years Hottest 100.

Currently in Jindabyne did not get to check out Snow fm’s first song of 2022, but their playlist was very similar to Nova’s New Years Playlists quite heavy on Throwbacks.

Happy New Year Everyone!!!
