What we are saying is that radio stations have used various methods to do this for decades now. How can you be sure it’s done with AI? I’m suggesting that you are speculating and you don’t know for a fact.

And the (in-house) AI weather has nothing to do with music in any way, shape or form.
That is taking a network feed from Melbourne.

Call me an audiophile, but I can detect that AI was used in that bit when they removed the swear from the song. If you wish to see me as speculating this, we can happily end this discussion and the rest can be history. Thank you @JBar.

This isn’t AI, this is phase cancellation.
It’s the exact way some karaoke machines strip the vocals off the songs you feed it, by inverting the polarity - which leaves you with that washy instrumental sound.
Like others have pointed out to you repeatedly here, absolutely nothing to do with AI.
Record labels regularly send out clean/radio edits for songs direct to the radio networks. In this case it sounds like a version made in-house at the station, perhaps because they didn’t like the direction of the label’s radio edit (where they sometimes introduce a substitute word rather than just cutting the word completely etc).

That Birds of a Feather Version is the same one we are getting here in Toowoomba on HIT FM, and also B105 Brisbane so as old mate said about it is likely to be a network wide copy of the song been played

Seven’s Midday Movie today was “A Deadly Radio Romance”.
Fictional station was 98.6 KQAX. But a lack of attention to detail was evident when a listener with a car radio was displaying the adjacent frequency. I’m assuming they couldn’t find a US car radio that does 0.1 mhz steps, as most only do 0.2 mhz step tuning.

Most or all US car radios can’t tune even ending frequencies, as there are none used in the USA, just like most US radios can’t tune AM in 9kHz steps.
This has often annoyed the British/European car reviewers & Top Gear/The Grand Tour hosts when they have a US built car & are driving it across Europe where they do have even ending frequency stations.

Pretty much every AM radio cannot go beyond 1710 kHz at best, and besides, if they were to go to the very top of the AM band, a digital AM/FM tuner will tune it to probably SEN 1710 for you really well, but if you’re using a tuning nod on the side of a pocket AM/FM radio without the digital screen and it’s very old-fashioned, good luck getting it tuned there.
If anything, SEN is essentially choosing to broadcast on a non-existent frequency, I’m guessing this is some prank or satirical joke? 1770 kHz is not a real AM frequency, it is a fictional one. And SEN are seriously using that as the name for their new DAB+ station?
OK in all seriousness though, that would definitely have to be a typo by SEN, as SEN actually broadcasts on 1170 kHz AM in Sydney, New South Wales. Looks like they just stuffed up with the naming of their DAB+ station in Sydney. Please correct me otherwise.

A dedicated station for a town on the Central QLD Coast that has that number in its name, perhaps?!
Yeah it was superb. Just the extent of merch… you could pretty much get the FM104 logo on anything and everything… just speaks to the ubiquitous nature of FM104 back in those days…
Speaking of Expo88, you could buy merch from their little studio at the river stage as well…
Plus at that time (1988) FM014 had a travel agent in Edward Street called ‘FM Travel’ and a coffee shop/bar at the bottom of the Myer Centre ‘FM Cafe’.
Stereo 10 had a ‘shop’ (on air they referred to it as such, though it was merely just a few racks of clothes) in Queen St Myer.

Stereo 10 also had a shop at mermaid beach

That makes sense, their signal was excellent on the Gold Coast, just as good as it was in Brisbane really.

Stereo 10 actually had a studio at Grundys at Surfers Paradise. It had glass walls so you could see the announcers. They came live from there on some weekend mornings if I recall correctly.

Stereo 10 very much saw themselves as a ‘Southern Queensland’ station… I remember their little jingle ‘Rise and shine Southern Queensland get up with the morning zoo’…
The Zoo featuring the TV talents of Billy J Smith, who was then hosting It’s a knockout and TVO’s coverage of the Brisbane Bronco’s debut season, and Jackie Mac, from Hey hey.

Assuming it’s an American movie, it’s a wonder they aren’t in feet! (they seem to hate using metric).
All fictional I know, since LW (AFAIK) has never really been used in the USA.
