I’d much rather see Wave reformat and take the 2ST log, given there isn’t much crossover there in terms of signal coverage (around Wollongong at least, unlike with Power FM).

Yes I kind of agree that Mix has skewed too young recently. The older stuff they do play isn’t that great either. In short they need to fix the music

Mix is current on a month of 80s music.

Yes I’m not sure that’s the answer either, having a whole month of one decade. It can sound quite repetitive actually. They need a mix of mostly 80s and 90s songs with some new music from selected artists.

Agree, as much as I love the 80s.
And a few 70s tracks added in too.

Not strictly 80s, currently playing Hozier as I type.

I think it only at certain times of the day - excludes breakfast and drive perhaps??

Back in the day Mix FM’s 80’s August was 80’s from 8am to 6pm daily.

2 months ago, when we were visiting family on the Sunshine Coast, we found Hot was the pick of all stations. They seemed to have a good variety of music from the 80’s to Now.
I agree with the above, I found Mix a bit bland for my liking.

I feel like Star would do better in Townsville if it differentiated itself more from Hit. The Townsville market is different from Mackay and Cairns in that it has Power. I think 106.3 should go softer AC and bridge the gap more between Triple M and Hit.

No one daring mention Power went up 3 by softening their rock image?

Just looked at their playlist, it doesn’t seem to have softened that much to me.

I wouldn’t say they’ve softened, rather, they’re now taking the generic “Better Music & More Of It” log from ARN Regional.

Looking at Lava, Power 100 isn’t taking the generic “Better Music & More Of It” log, in which its playlist is still rock-based. I’ll post a log of it over in the relevant thread.

Oh wow! Yet their positioner is that?
Good on them for taking a different (hopefully a local) log.

Yes it’s definitely still a different log.
