Southern Cross Austereo (Regional)

Ordinarily I would have said that it would still be a very brave move to have footy on the radio instead of the brekky shift on a Monday morning, but given the game SHOULD be over by 6:30am, not TOO many people are going to notice I guess.

Zinc might still pick up a few listeners then, just score updates every ten minutes or so would suffice for a lot of people.

you sure about that? All I get is “we’re sorry, but the digital stream for this station…”

When I tuned to 2MC online on Monday night, it was streaming the station. Now that you mentioned it, I guess they were just testing. :confused:

FYI, I first found out about it from a visitor’s comment posted on its Facebook page on Monday morning that it was streaming again.

2GO is now streaming.

…and Sea FM 101.3 is also streaming, thus ensuring that all three Central Coast stations are streaming online again! :slightly_smiling:

Following Ross Wallman’s departure from 90.9 Sea FM Gold Coast, Digby Gillings is now the anchor of Galey & Charli. He was last heard on KIIS 101.1 Melbourne, and before that on Nova 1069 Brisbane afternoons.

Silco has made the move from 99.5 Star FM to 97.9 Sun FM & is the new local morning presenter between 9am to 1pm replacing Trent from Albury. The Gold Coast feed is now taken after 1pm.

Bethany Larsen, currently of HOT FM Townsville, is replacing Tyler on hit104.7 Canberra afternoons.

They’re pretty stupid on the Gold Coast. Sea FM is a shadow of what it once was, yet the many lemmings there continue to listen.

Digby didn’t hang around ARN Melbourne for too long did he? Lots of people lured there and discovering it’s not what they were sold.

Interesting to read Luke Toohey is back at SCA as the regional Vic content director.

This is the person formerly known as:

http://www.profiletalent.com.au/anthony-becks-toohey.html

https://au.linkedin.com/in/a-luke-becks-toohey-7ab048a9

He would have better brand success if he kept a consistent name.

2MC FM Port Macquarie have turned streaming back on.

I heard on 2GO today that they are doing the “Eggcellent 80s” over Easter.

Looks like it’s a network program… KO are running it too…

The entire LocalWorks regional network is running the format for the long weekend, including the Classic Hits stations for daytime programming.

According to their website, even Mix 106.3 in Canberra, which is half-owned by ARN, is doing it too, but I’m not sure if they’re running the same log as all of the other LocalWorks regional network stations.

Was tuned into the Yea translator of Star FM Shepparton on Friday evening and this morning while I was travelling up the Hume. During select ad breaks, the Yea/Mansfield single frequency network on 93.7 plays different ads to 96.9 Shepparton. The 30 minutes of intermittent reception I had to tune it didn’t give a huge amount of time for analysis, but after 7pm on Friday 93.7 and 96.9 were both playing the same ads. The one ad break i got before 7, and the two that I got today all had different ads, which were locally targetted at Mansfield, Alexandria and Yea. So maybe they run different ads during the day?
Interestingly, on 93.7, the breaks weren’t completely smooth - you have hear the first half-second of the frist 96.9 ad before the 93.7 ads kick in. And on one occassion on Friday night there was a few seconds of ads on 93.7 playing over the start of the next break of Hamish and Andy.
To me it sounds like they’re using old school tone commands in the 96.9 ad breaks to trigger ads for the 93.7 feed.

I can’t say if the same happens on the 3SRFM translater on 91.3 since it only broadcasts from Mansfield, as opposed to Mansfield and Yea for 93.7

When Hit 100.9 Hobart can’t create original content.

This afternoon, 2GO aired the MMM call of the Swans-Giants AFL Sydney derby … ???

It’s the first time I’ve heard 2GO do that…

I was in Avoca yesterday from 2-5pm and I had 2GO on and Browney was live and local all arvo???

I know MMM switched to AFL at 4.30 and KO stayed with the NRL as always, as I was listening to all 3 stations.

I’m sure that’s what I heard … It would be have been between 5-5:30pm when I noticed this, and yes, KO still had the NRL on at that time.
