This all changed about 3 months ago. Andy Sichter from the Gold Coast does all the logs now and is helped by Chris Holland in Melbourne. Chris does the network nights Triple M shows like Rock Song Dedications and Bona
Jacqui Kassulke does Sydney and Network Drive
Mitch Braund looks after Melbourne
Vinnie Shannon does both Adelaide and Perth
Andrew Very handles Brisbane and Gold Coast
Given that it was mentioned above that David Burton was doing the âClassic Hitsâ log out of Toowoomba and has been made redundant, it seems likely that itâs no more.
SCA has revealed their Summer Breakfast line-up for the regional Hit & Triple M stations, to be aired for a week from Monday 6th January.
Cliffo & Gabi from hit103.1 Townsville will be heard on the regional Hit stations, whilst Mix 106.3 Canberraâs drive show, The Wilko Show with Courts, will be heard on the regional Triple M stations for breakfast.
Because itâs summer, the playlist is the same across all regional Triple M stations. That means the ones that normally took the older-skewing log are using the younger-skewing network log.
For example, Newcastle & Central Coast are sharing the same log whereas they normally take a different log from one another.
Currently in 95.3 Goulburn Valley territory, so it wasnât that much of a surprise (from memory Shepparton is normally on the younger skewing log). Guess I was too optimistic that the summer playlist would phase out some of those tracks better suited to Hit
I had a bit of a listen last weekend and every second song was a song that they play on Hit. I really feel sorry in the areas where they only have Hit and Triple M where they would be listening to the same crap over and over again.
I heard someone the other day in Rocky saying they are so over listening to Groundhog Day FM at work, I thought they meant Hit FM but they were talking about Triple M.
Off-Topic, but Capital Radio Network does this very well with their stations in Cooma & Goulburn, where thereâs very little to no music overlap between XLFM/2GN & Snow/Eagle.
Perhaps SCA (& Grant in some markets for that matter) could learn a thing or many from Capital.
