It was as part of a mini countdown of songs from 1985, as they mentioned that was the year that AM stereo was launched, followed by the comment “that was big!” with a laugh
Strangely low modulation levels on 105.7 SBS Radio Hobart. SBS is averaging 30% deviation, while other stations are averaging close to 100% (percentage of 75khz). The same with Triple J (although not as bad). The Triple J video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qje5jfzEkHU

In Brisbane, hit105 & Nova has a crossover of close to 38%, with the former playing far more unique tracks than the latter, likewise for between hit105 & 97.3, with both stations sharing more than 1/5 of its playlists. 4KQ, being on AM, is the most different of the commercial music stations, which when paired with 4MMM, plays far more unique tracks, and has a crossover of only 9.3%.
In the Gold Coast, Hot Tomato shares around a 1/4 of its playlist with both Gold FM & Sea FM, with the former playing more unique tracks than the local SCA stations.
Agree with the 25% Aussie quota, but not the new music quota. This is effectively dictating formats, FM stations like WS and Gold104.3 and metro AM music stations would be the hardest hit.
I suspect that bit is poorly written and is actually intended to push CHR/pop stations to playing newer Australian tracks rather than flogging the same 30 or so songs late at night.
That 6am-6pm bit is what excites me most, and in all honesty commercial radio have only themselves to blame for this becoming a conversation about regulation
According to the draft FYSO for 2019-23 released yesterday, the consultation for the potential to re-plan the Perth FM broadcast band is set to occur in the 2nd half of 2019-20 (ie. January-June 2020).
Also, in Q4 2018-19 (April-June 2019), ACMA will publish for consultation an issues paper on future delivery of radio services in Australia. More details on page 46 of the above aforementioned document.
Three years after their engagement led them to live in relaxed Exmouth, Australia, Sinead and Paul are packing their bags to move into a settled future in her hometown of Perth.
Alan Jones takes a call from Stephanie. I can always visualise Stephanie shouting from a balcony in Munich
Triple M plays a song. It takes me back to the early 90s
WSFM has an hour when they don’t play “Summer of 69”
I listen to Richard Wilkins’ recorded show on smooth. There is a something about seniors trying to put on a sexy voice that I find engaging.
I tune into the 2DayFM breakfast show and I try to guess who is hosting the shift that day
Ray Hadley is going after an alleged sex offender on air and providing the details of how a person’s life has been destroyed. I know that he is bullying his staff behind the scenes and destroying their lives and this makes his diatribe so gloriously ironic
A couple of questions re the Darling Downs commercial radio market:
Why isn’t there a 4GR (Triple M) repeater in Warwick?
When did Stanthorpe join the licence area? I assume they had Rebel (Sun FM) first and the others followed once the licence area was extended to the town. When I first visited in 1998, Stanthorpe had no native commercial radio- the best option was a scratchy 2TEN on 89.7.
Why isn’t 4AK repeated into anywhere else other than Stanthorpe?
All of these anomalies stem from the fact that three separate heritage stations were amalgamated into one licence area.
4GR (Triple M) isn’t too bad but yes 4AK does suffer from a bit of night fade in Warwick & if I had to make a comment on the signal strength of the stations i’d say it’s around the same as Sydney Am west of Penrith but yes 4GR’s & 4AK’s signal in Warwick would be on par with 4WK’s AM signal in Toowoomba & that has a licenced translator
