Regional Radio (non-SCA)

The Edge sounds like they are running on a backup stream as there on-air sound is like a 96kbps MP3 stream. Maybe storm related?

I’ve noticed recently that C91.3’s news is now sponsored by Ten, whereas it was previously Nine News for many years.

The news intro goes: “Channel 10, proud supporter of Macarthur’s C91.3. C91.3 News”.

Kind of makes sense, considering that WIN (the owner of the station) is Ten’s regional affiliate. Also, Ten, along with C91.3, has sponsored local events such as this year’s Feast Campbelltown & the Fisher’s Ghost Festival, the latter which used to be sponsored by Nine in past years.

Are they the only market promoting 10 as opposed to WIN?

Yes, considering that C91.3’s licence area is entirely within the Sydney TV licence area, and doesn’t fall within the Southern NSW TV licence area.

The EDGE is still sounding low quality on-air, I wonder if they are aware of it.
I did hear on-air Mike E mentioning he was using new systems so I’m not sure if that’s contributing to the audio.

I contacted The Edge and they told me that they recently upgraded their systems and are tweaking their on-air sound hence the change in audio sound. I was sound almost normal this morning.

92.7 Mix FM on the Sunshine Coast is doing their “1200 Songs of Summer”, which started on Boxing Day.

I wonder why 1200? What’s the significance of that? There doesn’t appear to be any mention of why on their website.

I was kind of expecting (hoping?) a station to do the “Essential Twenty20” countdown (2,020 songs) similar to what Triple M had back in the mid late 00s. Would have been a nice tie in with the BBL Cricket too.

Former Channel 9 Perth personality and singer Louise Anton is now heard on weekends on 91.7 The Wave in Mandurah. Louise also appeared on The Voice a few years ago.

The same Louise Anton that teamed up with Danielle Gaha as the Nissan Cedric’s duo on Club Buggery back in the 90’s on the ABC?

Also noted on 91.7 The Wave - SCAs’ My Generation has been dropped from the line up. Usually gets 3 runs a week - Saturday at 4, Sunday at 4 and I’ve heard it on one of the graveyard shifts, but not recently. Shame, fits the station well but I guess it is already broadcast on Mix 94.5 and Triple M Southwest.

Apart from outsourced news bulletins, this now makes The Wave 100% local and independent. And doing a very good job at it.

Im pretty sure My Generation has been axed.

I think you’re right. No new podcast episodes since last year… little bit of activity on their Facebook wall though and an active page on the Triple M site. Damn same - I liked that show.

And now Lawrence Mooney’s show is taking its place on Sundays.

So a music based show gets axed and replaced with another Sydney breakfast show best of

Ally Redondo, who did traffic reports on Sydney stations (inc C91.3) during afternoons, has taken over as the new drive presenter for C91.3 in Campbelltown, replacing Josh Webster. She had been filling in for Lyndal Rogers (now i98 Mornings) on breakfast with Josh in 2018 when she was on maternity leave.

Move FM/2LT really need to invest in more announcers, they have one guy who voice tracks all day on both Move & 2LT.
