Random Radio

I was also informed of this by a passive aggressive DM from @crankymedia who decided it was better to personally harass me than contribute to the discussion. Cranky claims that 95.5 is now broadcasting from the Toowoomba studios, which would explain the poor coverage, despite still being licensed at Mt Kynoch.

I found the following post about Mount Kynoch being demolished. Maybe @gordo92 is now able to give us an update.

Looking at Nearmap, the tower at Mt Kynoch (that I presume 95.5 used to come from) disappeared sometime in 2023. The coverage outside of Toowoomba dropped off significantly prior to that time - it used to come in quite well in parts of Brisbane with RDS (when active), now it’s almost non-existent.

Would be somewhat ironic if they were TXing on 95.5 from the Toowoomba studios, given the sign out the front still seems to tell you to tune into the defunct 1359 AM frequency

No chance for me to get 95.5 as TAB Bundaberg now dominates with RDS sometimes.

Tyrepower Morningside still has their radio on 4BH,on an analogue radio too.I noticed the other day when I took my Mazda to them for a wheel alignment/balance.
I’ve taken my cars to them over the years for tyre servicing or for new tyres,they used to listen to 4KQ when they were still around.

Yep I was there in January and noticed that too. She’s lovely the lady that runs the show there. I almost suggested to her she needs to upgrade to DAB :laughing:

“DAB? What’s that? My radio says 1116… I thought that meant I already had a digital radio”.

Australian music should be played when people are actually listening

The Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) and the Phonographic Performance Company of Australia (PPCA) have welcomed public consultation on Commercial Radio and Audio’s (CRA) draft Code of Practice (The Code) , saying it provides opportunity to Australian radio audiences to have a chance to connect with local music.

Locally, SONFM88 seems to have moved away from the Dancewave format in the other half of their broadcast hours, instead playing an assortment of community related programming. It seems quite random from their normally religious broadcasting, though Dancewave was about as far away as one could get from that.
