Perhaps for this month or year? There’s sure to be more for underperforming stations.
SCA have a lot more backflipping to do for any chance to improve their results in some markets.
Exactly! Only introduced as phonetically identical, sounded same on air for network purposes.
Search for CFM and the most common search result is a certain type of boot with the nickname Come F— Me boots.
Meant nothing for Toowoomba and wider coverage area.
A good station, especially regional should generate over 80% of revenue (and higher for profit) from the bfast shift alone. What happens after 3pm isn’t really big in most people’s minds.
So long as there’s great communicator who is known and local to the community to give the market a region to listen at breakfast, audience largely don’t care what’s on after that. That was DMG’s research and it worked for them when they owned regional stations.
Lol I’d forgotten about CFM boots - so true!
I never understood why SCA should of keep the Heritage Brands(3sr, 3BO etc) and say Part of the the Triple M Network or Hit Network instead. I know it can be classed as local station but still use the Triple M logo.
I didn’t get to have a listen to 90.9 SEA FM this afternoon, but this morning, around 9:30am EST, they were running 100 minutes of commercial free music (“to start the workday”).
I don’t know if it was just because they were running a feature that the rest of the network don’t run, or if it was indicative of the rest of the station sound moving forward, but it sounded very…regional. I was expecting it to sound slick, with an updated “Get That Feeling” SEA FM Jingle Package. The announcer sounded bored. Was it like that all day? Or did it improve outside the 100 mins of commercial free music?
I had a little listen too… it was ‘punters’ calling in with their memories of SeaFM from the good old days and the jocks being all excited that the SeaFM brand was back. New jingle sounds good but you’re right, it did sound rather amateur for some strange reason. I found listening to the first part of the breakfast show really strange - with their ‘soon to be SeaFM’ mentions. Nice package played at 8:15 etc. Very ‘in’ feel to it all though.
I wonder if it was necessary to move a post when asking a question @TelevisionAU
Metro markets are the 5 capital cities - Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth. Everything else is regional.
With that said, CRA considers certain markets provincial - Gold Coast is included in this list along with Canberra, Newcastle, Katoomba and I believe Hobart.
Yes it was
Dave Ferrier will host a new show called The Greatest on Triple M’s regional stations across Australia from tonight. It will air from 7pm to 10pm. Danny Lakey Show will continue in Triple M’s metro stations.
Been listning to Triple M Coffs Coast last few days, they are going back to the greatest hits, I enjoy it, been playing great music
Would be better if Coffs went back to locally scheduled music that suited the market based on research for the Coffs Harbour licence.
A couple of sizes to fit all music programming does not make for good radio.
Totally agree, especially given the mid north coast /Coffs coast overlap for SCA! Ah the good old days of RoxFm and Hot 105.5…
Great time to be in real estate right now in SEQ. Market is booming.
Definitely, I’d be heading into that sector for sure.
Sea FM Gold Coast workday announcer Scott Couchman has also left the station according to his latest Instagram video.
There’ll be an understandable reason why they’re all leaving.
The new Content Director…?
There is currently an announcer position listed by SCA for an Announcer on the Gold Coast.
