I don’t think summer has quite the same connotations these days as it used to… nowadays it often gets too hot/humid, and often gets bad storms or bushfires. I don’t think people look forward to it as much anymore.

A tonne of stations would always switch from “____ Hit Music Station” to “Summer’s Hit Music Station”.

WSFM have a great sounding summer positioner. The background music is up-tempo, contemporary and makes you feel as if you are on holiday.
97.3 FM back in the day also had good summer positioners using the Dance track ‘Embrace the Sunshine’ as it’s background music.

Has anyone got the full list for MTV Classic’s Top 1000 Greatest Songs of All Time of 2021?
Jen Seyderhelm presents breakfast with Paul Holmes on 2CA Canberra, which has a Classic Hits format.

Interesting insights. I wholeheartedly agree with the observation that many younger listeners love classic hits from well before their time. My god-daughter’s favourite song is “Scenes from an Italian Restaurant” by Billy Joel. And she knows the words to every ABBA song. She is 20 years old. Her high school put on a production of the Queen musical - which was fantastic.

Didn’t realise that KTM got the band back together…
Is Marty disappointed in his one man show? Or is it more Nova is desperate to rekindle the halcyon days?
(Either that or Melb’s lockdowns have created confusion as to what year it actually is!)

They should have the presenters line up with their names on that billboard.
It looks like a bloke called Kate and a girl called Tim. Only Marty’s is aligned.

The whole “rose between two thorns” thing is still alive and well in radio. Ugh.

As Nova is far from sounding different. Had Nova retained a focus on being the point of difference in each market, it could distinguish itself from such tired dynamics.
Nova’s now supposed target market is over it too yet Paul and the other execs request such research to suit their own ideas. Not the way to do business.

That’s a Facebook issue with grabbing images for articles, I believe.

Calling all Croweaters:
Is the 5DN (Cruise1323) repeater in the Barossa Valley active? It’s meant to be on 94.7. I’ve never heard it via E-skip.
Another one I have never logged is 95.5 Flow FM Kangaroo Island; I suspect this isn’t on air as 90.7 5KIX was commonly received in Sydney.

5DN 94.7 Angaston wasn’t on air when I was in the Barossa in 2019.
And I didn’t get Flow 95.5 when down at Victor Harbour, which I thought I would have received.

Call/email the local council, they operate it. Sadly never on air when I’ve been there.
More than 5DN licensed for Angaston.
