A bit of background - I lived in Young for 12 months on a contract and listened to a fair bit of 2LF and Roccy FM. People seemed to enjoy the Saturday local shows - exactly what a local station_should_ be doing. Until Billy Boy decided to network out of his Fortress of Crap during the weekend, and cancel those shows.
Thankfully the wonderful 2YYY took them up. They may not sound professional, but they did the exact right thing. This is one of my many bug bears with commercial media - you can’t just replicate the same stuff Sydney has. 2LF is not 2GB, or even 2SM, despite Bill’s best efforts. Heck, you could’ve pre-recorded those shows and automated the playout. 2NM does this, I know it for a FACT! (former local sports publicity officer - all my bits for 2NM were recorded Friday arvo).
I know one of you works there, and I wish you all the best, as Young is a lovely place. But I’m giving you my 2c and saying it stunk. Thankfully 2YYY is there doing a grand job of doing what it’s licensed to do - serving the community to which it is licensed to.
