Random Radio

The licence area and its coverage dictates its place.

From the Wentworth Falls site at 5kW ERP, it’s an adjacent metro licence with considerable metro overspill. That means the format is either hyper local to the licence area or a niche format is pursued ie. a format no Sydney wide station has in use.

Considering that SCA/Austereo have never known how to operate Triple M to rate beside 2DAY unlike Nova/Smooth combo, it’s likely SCA would’ve blundered in their format choice.

Hopefully we’ll never find out.

The local content statement of 96.1 is amusing:

What is the local news content they refer to? What do you hear?
