Great to hear a Go-go’s song that isn’t Our Lips Are Sealed.

The Christopher Atkins song was a lost classic too!

I’ll be honest & it’s only my opinion (besides the ratings shoot down my argument) but I bet these are the exact same songs they’ve been thrashing for over 40 years.

In other words, nothing has changed, it’s just the same old.

I still think radio has to be more adventurous for future audiences as the top demo leaves us

Maybe a bit true for the weekday playlist, but the weekend playlist is really adventurous. I listen all the time and I always hear songs I haven’t heard in decades.

I think what 4KQ does well is blend (very) familiar songs with the rarer ones.

On Fridays right now, Triple M are playing only 80s songs. And they are not just playing heavily played, cookie-cutter 80s tunes either. There is some unusual stuff, especially when considering what Triple M usually play. Here is a log from Melbourne today:

Overall a good list. But gee I wish they’d play some of the other Mellancamp stuff rather than Jack & Diane. He had so many great tracks in the 80s that used to get widespread airplay back in the day.

Maybe it was just Brisbane but FM104 used to play songs like Authority Song, Pink Houses, Check it out, and Ain’t That America all the time.

I had a friend up from Melbourne during Expo 88 and he remarked that he’d never heard Authority Song on the radio so much in his life :slight_smile:

Couldn’t agree more! Such an overplayed song.

‘Pink Houses’ and ‘Ain’t That America’ are the same song :slight_smile: . The former is the correct title.

I am fond of his cover of ‘Wild Night’ with Meshell Ndegeocello in 1994. One of those songs that got thrashed in its day but is rarely heard now.

According to the RadioApp, the logs are the same on River 94.9 and Zinc 96.1, which will will both likely join the PureGold network. They are good logs.

Hot 91 and K-Rock have very similar logs too but Hot Tomato is on a different log than Hot 91.

Wave FM and Power 94.9 are also on same logs but different than Hot 91 or K-Rock.

About time, if true during the day.

When Hot Tom began sharing with Hot 91, it was to the detriment of both stations. Shared log nothing like what was exclusively on each.

Hopefully better for both stations now.

Lava is telling a different story.

At night, both River & Zinc air the 20/20 Retro Countdown, which would explain why they share the same log. During the day though, they’re on different logs from one another.

As for Hot Tomato being on a different log to Hot 91 & K-Rock, the former carries its own evening program, whilst the other two air the Random 30 Countdown, followed by Oz Made.

Wave FM & 94.9 Power FM are still on the same log as Hot 91, Hot Tomato & K-Rock during the day.

Thanks for clarifying. The evening logs must be different on a few of the ARN regional stations, but the day logs the same for the CHR stations.

I think it’s a matter of time before River 94.9 and Zinc share the same logs

They are quite good logs, although I prefer Hit and Star to Triple M.

Personally none of those logs take my fancy. That Triple M log looks too similar to their old Feel Good music day’s.
Looks like Triple M have dropped the 70’s also.

Indeed they have. That being said, they still play the odd 70s track, but it’s not every hour, judging by Lava.

When I’m up on the Central Coast, I would rather listen to the local community station Coast FM, which has a “Classic Hits” format on weekdays.

How long ago did regional Triple M’s introduce that positioner “Good Times & Greatest Hits”?
