Correct. Catalano would have to ensure that he doesn’t breach any limits. But it won’t happen - it’ll just be like that old bloke that spent a heap of money trying to block the sale of Ten to CBS.
Even if it was given the go ahead, grandfathering provisions would prevent SCA from being forced to sell, just like how Grant Broadcasters are still allowed to own the Devonport and Bernie stations now that their overlap has increased to over 30%.
2GO were having audio problems this morning, with songs intermittently cutting out briefly every minute or so.
Do they have anyone live in the studio?
It was around 11am, so I think they would have.
It was fixed when I checked again a couple of hours later.
Noticed today that both Sea FM and 2GO have been running on air promos about the rebrand from 8th November.
2GOs included reassurances that major local personalities such as Bob Peters will remain on air.
So what is on 2KKO of a Saturday night?
I think it’s just the networked Saturday night party mix program?
Luke Bona’s overnight talk show is not going out to most, if not all regionals this morning. Replays of My Generation instead.
Didn’t the regional networking win an ACRA? Ironic timing indeed.
I can confirm too that this show is on DELAY into Qld until next April when normal time zoning resumes.
That’s strange as it was live* into QLD last year
With Margaux on 4MMM bfast, guest rotation of female co hosts with Luke on Gold FM drive.
End of this week it was former SEA FM co host with Paul Gale, Charli Robinson.
So who is next from the old SEA bfast teams?
Jacqui Kassulke down the line from Sydney? She was on for a couple of weeks but left, interesting story that one.
Suki Mead? Didn’t end so well for her at either SEA or Hot Tom.
Who else is there for the ESP pairings of the 90’s and 00’s?
Other guest hosts have been the ex MKR female on Gosford bfast, Annabelle Brett from Coffs bfast, Jade Jones from Brisbane and others.
2GO appear to be live and local tonight… “Rocking The Races” was one phrase I heard? … there has also been a major concert on with many Aussie bands like Mondo Rock and Pseudo Echo on.
Maryborough is in name only Maryborough doesn’t have a commercial radio station .gold broadcast in Bendigo and Maryborough but it does not have a base in Maryborough .how.do I know this I lived there for.5 years. Maryborough only radio station is a community radio st a ti o n
Gold 1071’s transmitter is located in Carisbrook, a few kms from Maryborough. 3CV was originally based in Maryborough but in more recent years its studios have been in Bendigo.
Triple M Bendigo having some automation issues atm, indents keep going over each other, songs keep playing over the sport and weather.
A long way from the AWA days of 3BO. Sad.
Heard a promo on 2GO tonight about the change over to Triple M on Friday. It will happen at 8am (the same time that other regionals adopted the Triple M brand in recent years too).
2GO are also asking listeners to nominate the first song to be played after the changeover, and one listener whose nomination is picked will get to push the button to play that song.
They’ve probably already decided on “New Sensation” (I think that’s what got played first here in Newcastle), so it’ll probably be a contest that’s not really a contest.
