Starting from Australia Day long weekend next month, the regional Triple M stations will broadcast “The Range with Lee Kernaghan” at 6-8am Sundays, featuring today’s country music.
The Ray Hadley Country Countdown returns that same week. Some healthy competition. I’m guessing Lee Kernaghan’s show will be on The Range online station as well.
They should have called it Triple C.
Regional radio is just awful now. There used to be some great stations once upon a time, but now I’m just thankful I don’t have to listen to regional radio.
While on the Mid North Coast on Thursday for a few hours I noticed that Hit and 2MC/Triple M Kempsey transmitters 105.1/106.7 were not on air. Port Macquarie 100.7 & 102.3 were OK.
Yes, I have noticed that by looking at the playlists of regional Triple M stations that normally carry the “70s to Now” log on RadioApp. The “Classic Hits” stations, on the other hand, continue with their own log.
Don’t rebrand 4TO, this call sign IS Townsville and always will be,has been for as long as I can remember.I’m going back to the mid 70s when I moved there with my family to live,was a great station back then.The current breakfast host,Steve ‘Pricey’ Price has been on air at this station for about 25 years and I know he has a huge fan base,I know from previous visits up there.
Whether they do or not is a different story at this stage, I think with these major regional centres they are keeping them as is for now. There’s been no rumour or suggestion that they will so I think you are safe for now.
SCA has announced Sydney-based Jimmy Smith and Nathan Roye as the new faces of breakfast for Hobart’s 100.9 FM, replacing Paul Hogan who is joining 96FM Perth next year. Jimmy and Nath will start on January 29.
The STL has been updated a number of times in the past 10 years, it’s a direct LOS to Kariong, then it doglegs & is LOS re-transmitted to the Somersby TX sites from there.
It could be STL issues, but I certainly wouldn’t say it is 100%, & wouldn’t rule out something else, because as Radiohead says, SEAFM was OK & they have the same STL path.
Just for interest, Rhema CC also use the same Kariong dogleg site for their STL from Erina to Kariong, then to the SEAFM site at Somersby.
I haven’t actually heard what it’s like, so can’t say it’s likely this, or something else?
