I’m in Mackay at the moment and quite enjoying 4MK and even Triple M.
When Triple M are playing music it’s actually not too bad. Nothing as good as Rebel or Power but still ok. Still too much talk though at various times during the day.
Drove up to Airlie Beach and was surprised how well 1026 AM held together in the car all the way to Airlie. I think they were mentioning 91.5 as being still on air in Airlie but I didn’t try it. For some reason I had thought 4MK didn’t have the FM translator there anymore.

I wish ARN would add Power 100 to DAB in Hobart…I think it would do OK.

We need Power100 in Canberra as a DAB option. There is zero rock on our airwaves. Currently listening and it’s a pretty good active rock format (nothing older than the 90s).

Maybe Townsville will be next to have DAB radio?A city of about 200,000 thousand should have it

Nothing stopping SCA in having a Triple M or Triple M Classic Rock DAB option in Canberra, apart from reducing the bitrates of other DAB channels, now Australia Today is no longer on DAB.

When did they stop Australia Today on DAB+?
So no more looped Steve Price?
That station was as useless as NTS.

they stopped featuring him on the LISTNR tv ads a while back, have they ditched him entirely?

Someone should publish Australia’s own version of a Where’s Wally book. It would be called “Where’s Steve and Alan?”
It could feature a lot of TV sets, football fields, radio studios, London rest rooms and people accepting cash for comment. Alan and Steve are both finally found floating in chaff bags off Bondi.

We have a topic to discuss fake TV news in TV programs and movies etc but nowhere to discuss fake radio calls.
ABC’s new drama Summer Love opens with a fake radio station Coast FM heard on the car radio. The imaging heard is even discussed in the dialogue. Radio fans might be interested.

Isnt that a different frequency to what they’ve used in the past?
They are at risk of interference from Lismore on that.

Interesting. It show 0.4 spacing should be used for neigbouring stations as no problems with River 94.9 booming in.

That’s the frequency they usually use.

I suppose if Lismore were to cut over the top, classical music wouldn’t be a bad soundtrack to the flash and bang.
