Be great to see if SCA buys Move FM and 2LT making Move, hit107.9 Lithgow / hit99.5 Katoomba and the same for 2LT converting it to 900 Triple M, 101.1 Triple M.
At least if they do sell Lithgow/Katoomba will finally see a local quality breakfast show.
Thatâs not really possible under the Media Diversity Rules, as the Lithgow commercial radio licence area presently only has 4 voices (Midwest, Seven/Prime, Nine/SCA, 10/WIN). If SCA were to buy 2LT/Move, the number of voices would go below the required minimum of 4.
OT, I think the most likely buyers for 2LT/Move would be BOG, Grant or Capital.
whoever is announcing that⌠I hope they dont working for them (which it looks like they do) because it could be considered insider trading on the basis that both stations are public companies
After listening this morning at work, has âThe Rangeâ finished up/shunted to MMM Country/on a break? We got 4 hours of Almost Acoustic Sunday before the rehash of Mooneyâs garbage today.
The Range with Lee Kernaghan is now on Triple M Country.
How does that work for GTS/BKN as thatâs SCA owning 7, 9 and ten?
Nine & 10âs licences in the GTS/BKN licence area were issued under Section 38A, in which theyâre supplementary licences for its main station/network (Seven).
Itâs similar to how WIN owns & operates all 3 networks in South East SA, Riverland & Griffith/MIA.
Does that mean that they basically used as secondary channels to 7?
Pretty much, yes.
And I think Mildura still has Prime7 and WIN (Ten) with Nine Mildura as a joint venture?
GTS is Port Pirie & BKN is Broken Hill and both centres do NOT have SCA Radio Stations
Aside from maybe local advertising, GTS & BKN have essentially been one and the same for many years (if not decades) now though?
Probably⌠I donât think they ever had split programming in the winter months for different football codes? Thus I imagine BKN has always taken the same Australian Rules matches that were aired on GTS?
Broken Hill has always been more South Australian rather than New South Welsh in sporting codes, timezones, businesses.
Yes, I donât think they ever even showed State Of Origin there, despite being in NSW, not at least until SCN or BDN licences weâre granted.
Apologies for quoting a very old post, but couldnât find an answer to a query. Mix 106.3 in Canberra have been using a variation of the Moonman in the Morning song to promote their brekky show. It starts with âI said, Wake up CanberraâŚâ and then just continues sans lyrics underneath show highlights.
Are any other regional stations doing their own localised version?
Coffs Harbour is. âI said hey, Coffs Harbour! Youâve got Moffee in the Morning!â
I thought when the regionals Mâs went back to playing The Greatest Hits just recently, they would of cut back on playing Guy Sebastian and Pink 20 times a day and widen their playlist a lot.
No - They are still playing the same repetitive cheap pop crap when they we doing the Feel Good format.
