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.
Following Ross Wallmanâs 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.
According to their website, even Mix 106.3 in Canberra, which is half-owned by ARN, is doing it too, but Iâm not sure if theyâre 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 didnât 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 werenât 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 theyâre using old school tone commands in the 96.9 ad breaks to trigger ads for the 93.7 feed.
I canât 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
