2MC flipped over to the “Classic Hits” log on Wednesday January 27 (the day after Australia Day), but before that, they took the “Greatest Hits” log, the same as heard on 2CS & KO. I was up in the Mid North Coast on January 23-26 & on Monday 25th, 2MC was promoting on-air that they’re changing format on that Wednesday without mentioning “Classic Hits” on-air.

In case it hasn’t already been mentioned, I discovered that Radio West has re-commenced streaming.
What does it mean when a radio station is advertising itself? I’ve heard these before but not so frequently - was listening to MIX FM Fraser Coast (for a change!) and nearly every break there was a promo for a discount advertising package with the station “tune in tomorrow at 7:45 for the details”, first 20 business etc.
KOFM started this around 6-7 years ago - it’s simply a reduced ad rate card and package designed so that businesses who have never advertised on MIX FM or couldn’t afford to advertise on MIX FM previously can.
It just ads ad volume in quiet times.

Richard ‘Chooky’ Fowler is retiring from 92.5 Gold FM breakfast after 22 years with the station. His last show will be this Thursday.
Source: Radio Today
Just heard on the radio then. Will be sad - many trips to the Gold Coast in the 90’s as a kid and he and Sarah were always entertaining in the mornings. Will be missed 
Not sure if it has been mentioned, but former My Kitchen Rules and Dancing with the Stars contestant Ash Pollard is currently hosting breakfast on STAR FM Shepparton until mid July.
Listen out for that crescendoooooo!!!
Richard very good presenter, love hearing him on Gold FM, won’t be the same without chook
Good send-off for Richard on Gold in the OB yesterday. Caught about half an hour or so.

There must be more to it. Richard could have stayed as long as he wanted, dipped in and out of the show, tieline from NZ, very favourable time zone.
Sure, family is important but this is not quite right.

Is the GOLD FM silent for anyone else?
Yeah, stream is dead. Broadcasting on FM is fine, of course. 
On Monday night, Talking Back the Night returned to the regional airwaves after one year’s absence. Christian Argenti’s show was syndicated nationally via Gold FM during 2010 - 2015 with the final show broadcast in July last year.
Prior to joining Gold FM, Argenti was a broadcaster with SEN in Melbourne.
On the Gold Coast (as an example), this show injects extra competition into the weeknight late night talk market. Existing commercial offerings from 4BC or FM 104.1 are both Sydney/Newcastle-based, and very little music in between calls is broadcast.

Is Christian Argenti still presenting Talking Back The Night or has someone else taken over? I know that he has recently gone onto present a music-based program across the network, the exact name of which escapes me right now.
“Greatest Years in Music” is the title of the networked music-based evening program that Christian Argenti currently presents.
