It does get discussed. Fitzy and Wippa discussed the allegations and the doco this morning. Wippa was a big fan and is torn.
They also mentioned his music being taken off the air on radio stations in New Zealand and Canada.

The whole Michael Jackson issue is not black and white. If we really want to heal the world we need to look at the man in the mirror. Remember the time that people said Michael had done wrong and that he was a smooth criminal? Well he was with Dirty Diana the whole time. We all know that Michael was bad and maybe Liberian Girl was under the age of fourteen. Itâs human nature to want to ban his music and you are not alone if you support Nova in not playing his songs. Mind you - I always thought his song PYT was an admission of guilt.
Phew.

The translators for Snow Fm would have been licenced because 2XL had them originally licenced. I do agree 2XL needs them more for their AM service which is quite weak by Jindabyne and suffers badly from night time skip.
In Jindabyne 94.7 is needed for Snow Fm as the 97.7 signal is quite distorted in Jindabyne town centre as you are aware.
In Perisher Valley 97.7 is fine, and 94.7 is quite good to around Bullocks Flats, and yes 97.7 is also quite good to Thredbo too.
In regards to 105.9 and 107.5, they were completely off air when I was in Jindy in Aug 2018. Hopefully they will get them back on air as Brown Mountain reception is not the best in Jindabyne.

I hear a song with a lot of swearing on a community radio station on Friday night, I was not offended, but are there rules? Or basically only when someone complains the authorities acts on this?
People who are a bit cynical that JJJ has different standards from the others. I donât listen to JJJ much so I donât know.
Triple J usually have a âlanguage warningâ before any song with offensive content.

The idea of a straight asset swap, in which Lachlan Murdochâs Illyria personal holding company would transfer its interests in the Nova FM radio stations to Nine, in exchange for Nineâs ownership of AM radio stations such as Jones and Hadleyâs 2GB in Sydney and Mitchellâs 3AW in Melbourne, is being openly talked about in media industry circles.

They are to abide by a code and legislation, the commercial sector has similar.
If that event occurs, Adelaideâs 5AA would join the 2GB, 3AW, 4BC and 6PR âFairfaxâ Radio Network.

No WSFM blazers either? Slackers! 
But in all seriousness, while Iâm aware that ARN are the main radio sponsors of the Sydney Royal Easter Show it is rather interesting how Triple M (or 2DayFM for that matter, Iâm sure they used to have them years ago) arenât doing showbags. With the ratings as they were during the yearâs first survey, Triple M Sydney need to get some branded merchandise into the hands of punters!

Youâre right - but theyâre not the only radio partners:
https://www.eastershow.com.au/about-us/our-partners/
KIIS and WSFM are Champion sponsors
The Edge(!!!) are Blue Ribbon sponsors
2GB and 2ME are Red Ribbon sponsors - and only 2ME does a OB from the Show.

Yes! They were at a Kings game and handed out clappers and keyrings, but gave hats to some punters! I shouldâve asked for a hat! 
I got a Triple M Newcastle hat at the Knights launchâŚ

Idiots, no vision. Where are the digital radios indeed. Typical of the whole industry who have done bugger all to increase uptake of digital radio.
