What date does 4ZZZ run their countdown which began long before JJJ?
New Years Day
Wow, ok, would expect most of their audience (4ZZZ) to miss it also being on Jan 1.
I’ll have you know, the proper term is ‘too cooked’
Aus day is all about getting so smashed at a party with beers that you make wizard sticks and sausages with the hottest 100 and having a massive circle jerk over flume, tame impala, RUFUS and/or WSN. Hottest 100 without Aus day ruins Aus day.

Hub man has nailed the appeal of the countdown on Aus Day.
As long as a public holiday remains on 26 January, there will be demand for such a countdown.
The feel good consultation the ABC is doing is more proof of the corporation being hijacked by the do gooding minority types that have spread across seemingly all departments. Look at the ABC news, so much subjective moral preaching rather than factual reporting.

Differing reports on social media as to how other ABC local services are affected - some say ABC Radio Sydney is off-air; can confirm that Melbourne is running as normal.
Edit: Twitter confirming 702 + RN are on-air in Sydney
Edit 8:45am AEDT: triple j still off-air in Melbourne on both FM & DAB+ - Double J, Unearthed, Classic FM all unaffected

It’s all gone wrong again. Feed cut out straight into the backup tape in Melbourne, now Double J and Unearthed are also off-air on DAB+

Edit 9:21am: Double J + Unearthed back on DAB+, triple j still on backup
NSW seems to be still OK - and the stations on air in Queensland are running a different program assuming 1 hour behind.

For a while Brisbane and Sunshine Coast (must be fed from Brisbane) were playing some sort of backup music while the rest of the stations had returned. All stations back to normal now.
Qld, SA and WA are supposed to be getting a special 11am program to “fill in the gap” from this morning’s black out.
Video of the outage this morning. This kicks in at approximately 9:05am AEDT; in Melbourne, the feed had been restored, but subsequently dropped out, and that’s when this video kicks in.
Also features the station coming back to life, with bottom of hour + top of hour links from Zan Rowe.

No surprise there, they should’ve had the brains to dump it years ago.
