Remember the days when each station had their own log, own MD?
When RG Capital or perhaps prior to Sea FM Ltd acquired stations from APN being 4RO, 4MB and 4GR, the music log was then sourced from Toowoomba, long term staffer David Burton may have been there doing it, prior to his couple of years on the Gold Coast.
Toowoomba was the home of the oldest music heard across the network (much smaller network then), yet considerably more modern, AC leaning than the dreary music 4MB ran in APN’s time in the early 90’s.

The border 90.1 Triple M was awful yesterday, the same song kept repeating over and over and then the 3 o clock news was rushed without idents, weather was speed read and then no 4 o clock news… I don’t know what problems they were having but it sounded awful.

That what happens when the station is to reliant on networked programming rather than having some local programming over the holiday break.

are you referring to Albury and listening on repeater?
I would suggest that Zetta had a meltdown from what you’re describing - sounds like it needed a hard reboot.

Yes, I was listening on 90.1 which I assume is the repeater for Omeo or Corryong or one of those.

It would be the Omeo repeater. The Corryong repeater is on 96.5.

cheers, big ears 
Sounds like a computer hissy-fit.
I had one of those just over a year ago when the whole desk shut up shop, not just Zetta, so I couldn’t get anything to air. It was a Friday evening too, but luckily the tech was raiding the beer fridge so it didn’t take long to get it back up and running.

I was inbetween Omeo and Corryong at the time and it was either that station or High Country Radio which isn’t my cup of tea.

Both of which I am guessing are fed “off air”'from 105.7 at Mt Baranduda.
So the same issues would have been heard there as well.

Back when 2BDR was a JV of local/RG Capital, they would’ve kept the lights on throughout the Christmas shut down. Local bfast - drive.
They took great pleasure in giving DMG RR something to worry about in the hub home market.
The revenue was there then and still would be, even more so now the two FMs have common ownership.
What’s not there is an owner who understands regional radio.
What do they play? Community mish mash? @Dj_Cazzah, tell us please.

It’s mainly Country Music mixed with some new songs mixed with oldies. It isn’t very genre consistent.

More garbage coming to the regional Hit Network, with a one hour entertainment show out of LA with gossip reporter Dean McCarthy Sunday 6pm.
FFS.

Wonder how that effects This Week Tonight on Sea Gosford and hit Canberra? Currently occupies the 6-8pm slot

Now that is a show which would be worth syndicating to the whole Hit Network, rather than Live From LA.
101.3 Sea FM have been a little bit sneaky by advertising that Gawndy and Ash Pollard would be back today. In actual fact, Gawndy won’t be back until January 30 2019. Ash and Nic Kelly are on breakfast for 2 weeks. Cheeky!

That’s more than cheeky, that’s just wrong!
