I reckon there are more people like that than you/radio stations think there are … I know a number of people who listen to 2NUR and they are kind of a blend of Gold/Breeze.
I listen to NUR as well. I often stream Breeze Mid North Coast overnight.
I’d love radio to take more risks but I really can’t see anything else except tightening up even more.
Stations like 2NUR, CoastFM, Easy FM, Curtin Radio (streaming from WA), etc. are a great way to discover new artists to add to my music collection.
Granted, I guess not many people have music collections anymore, but I digress…
I agree, I still collect music, but mostly digital these days (via iTunes/CDs etc). I like to own a copy of some sort (not rent it via streaming).
With ARN’s stated goal to “connect with a younger 25-54 audience while still appealing to the station’s loyal fan base”, let’s see what Gold 101.7’s playlist is like these days.
Still sounds a lot like WS, but with a few unexpected tracks creeping in (OutKast, Avril Lavigne).

Great log! I listened to most of the show, didn’t get a chance to post any “great songs” though.
I was under the impression Missy Higgins “Steer” was getting an airing, or if that is next week. Or was it a bum steer
?
I am sure that would of been the Linguini Brothers at the top of list? ![]()
Oops- thanks for the reminder. Slotted for next week.
You heard it here first (or maybe on the show): all Yacht Rock for the Missing Sixes all summer long.
