Good to see 2TM return to its roots bringing back the Country Music Top 20.

Itās interesting that it says they are bringing back country music as a āmajor partā of their programming, but thereās no mention of any new shows, just a country music chart.
A Top 20 Countdown program based on the chart seems plausible, but youād think this would be networked to the other Caralis AM stations.
Andrew Andrews moving on from Real FM Mudgee?

I thought Andrew was on arvos/drive?
Not many Caralis stations would have an arvo/ drive presenterā¦ Probably only the larger markets like Tamworth, Lismore and Dubbo?
Not so true on the FMs.
Thereās a few like RealFM, NowFM and 92.9FM that are local throughout the day. Possibly more if others can confirm.
ā¦ more local than SCA regional stations ā¦

Having a look at their website - Station Manager/PD Mal Rock is currently presenting breakfast (presumably in Andrewās place, if my logic holds up), with Dane Durie in mornings.
Most of the FM stations have local breakfast, then mornings or afternoons feeding into Kate Tim & Marty

āā¦ We play the best of new and classic country Saturday morning between 6 and 8 with The Country Mike program.
Plus, we do play the above chart and classic country throughout the day with Pete during Breakfast and Sal in the afternoon! We hope you can tune in and enjoy!ā

Caller to Graeme Gilbert was ātired and emotionalā and referred to controversial cotton farm Cubbie Station as Cubby House. One of many entertaining faux pas on this sad, old show.

Iāve been listening to various shows on this network a bit more since 90.5 2HD was switched on last week, some callers are hilarous for all the wrong reasons. Like one on Sunday who just kept talking and talking even after the announcer said āthanks for your call, time now for the newsā - they eventually cut him off.

I listen to John Laws every now and again and Talkin Sport. But that is on 1269 
or DAB.

Can anyone confirm why Sportsday NSW was not on air this evening on BOG AM stations?
Graeme Gilbert was instead taking calls at 7pm tonight.

Was there a show produced for them to air? Crocmedia need the question to get to the root of it.
I thoughts it was Monday - Thursday only. The post cast confirms that there havenāt been any Friday shows.

As is reflected on the SEN3 schedule. Off the Bench appeared in the same timeslot last night

From NEWCASTLE RADIO thread:
I know there is a lot more to radio station than this , I quite like the way 2SM lets the announcer have some control of the playlist, they can take calls on issues too and keep you updated. In my view this is winner format, rather than everything very automated like it is on the music stations. The quality of the format come from some creative announcers rather a corporation having strict control on the format. It can be new music old music whatever, people listen to the station because it is the person behind the mic rather than strictly for the format of the music.
I too like that the Super Network allows an extent of freedom, however, I feel at times it is too much freedom. Branding is a bit all over the place (e.g. is it Super Network or Super Radio Network).
Iād like to see someone step in and take at least some control over the announcers and style of presenting. At present itās all a bit of mish mash (sometimes country, sometimes classic hits, sometimes sport and sometimes full on talkback).
Pick just one direction SRN and stick with it.

A caller on āTalk Tonightā a few minutes agoā¦
āIāve got a question about erectionsāā¦ a few seconds awkward silenceā¦ āoh I mean buildingsā
The caller then got dumped for being āimmatureāā¦
Then the next caller rang up, said āhello hello helloā in a bad accent and got punted as well.
Strange radio.

I drove under ten minutes tonight and was treated to that fool going to air.
Gilbert asked his age range and the caller said 18 - 65. Too broad for Gilbertās liking.
What would help would be a producer who is given the brief to screen calls and reject idiots unless Gilbert requests.
Most nights, Gilbert doesnāt have a producer, he answers calls in commercial breaks or straight to air, āyour name pleaseā, itās very dangerous to run talk radio this way.
