Realistically it’s not likely to happen for various reasons (the main one being the two station rule), but personally I think the Wollongong/Nowra markets would greatly benefit from being merged into a single “Illawarra” market…provided that ACMA were to mandate that local content be retained for the South Coast/Highlands relays of 2ST.
At the moment, probably the best things I can say about Wave FM, i98 and 2ST/Power FM is that they’re not owned by either SCA or SRN/BOG. Oh…and the Wollongong stations still have a decent amount of locally generated content, don’t they?
