The old logo had to go but yeah, that new one isn’t great IMO.
I personally think FM 1047 should’ve just adopted a tweaked version of Max 1073’s fairly recently launched logo.

Nice logo, though I think the M looks a bit too much like a W.
And PLEASE put the decimal point in the frequency!! Leaving that out is one of pet peeves.
I prefer how each SRN station has its own look and feel with the logos. A refreshing change from the corporatised SCA logos.

Alan Jones is about to appear on Talkin’ Sport as a guest.
They could call it Talkin’ More Shit.

Sadly so. Despite a great signal from Elanora across the Gold Coast and beyond.
For a one man band, Scott Mayman broadcasts a great breakfast show. Useful local information that you don’t hear elsewhere.

Scott Mayman is under-utilised.

Satellite not working for Radio 97, Scott was on air at least after 11, read all the news bulletins and music shift, did foreshadow best of John Laws, so we know the internet is working at Tweed Heads South for it to be emailed up.

Today on the birthday of Stan Zemanek (29 May 1947), happened to be listening to a block of ads on Radio 97.
Bumper promo into the break: “Super Radio Network, Australia’s premier regional radio network”.
A Stan phrase would often say his callers, making it a trademark of his broadcasting, “self recommendation is no praise”.
James Yelland, or whoever writes those liners, try and be more humble in future.

it’s a little tactic to gently remind possible suitors, including SCA, that’s there a bunch of stations in the network and they’d better look at increasing their offers substantially.
I heard that one this morning on 2LF Young (on my way back home now via Bathurst), and I had a little laugh.
Yes, I know it would be a dig at SCA, but I think they can hardly call themselves the “premier” network when their coverage is limited to just northern & western NSW and southern QLD.

My grandmother used to say it the other way around “Self praise is no recommendation”.
It’s one of my favourites!

Mine too, I’m sure moreso for you with the connection to your Grandmother.
It’ll be 13 years this December since Stan finished up at 2UE, I may have it transposed. Would need to hear audio.
Sounds like something playing with themselves…if you get my drift.

Bit of a stretch, but they’re probably clutching at 2HD Newcastle being Australia’s first regional radio station, therefore they would be Australia’s first (premiere) regional radio network?
Like I said a bit of a stretch, but there’s no other link to that claim for them.

Agree, great to receive your view.
Graeme Gilbert announced at the end of tonight’s show that he will be on an expanded network from Monday. Has another broadcaster decided to run Talk Tonight?

I’ll take a guess and say the Roger and Scott Harris owned 8HA Alice Springs, 4KZ Innisfail and 4AM Atherton Mareeba, only because they take the John Laws show. I’m probably wrong!
