Just dropped from DAB. The one extra station that goes a bit under the radar is Almost Acoustic, which is quite a good station, though weirdly branded Triple M on air but not in the station name on digital, so not sure if that hurts discovery. For Hard and Heavy honestly it’s for the best to be streaming only, the low bit rate really gets painful with metal music - as it really pushes SBR to its limits in trying to compensate, something the generally softer stations don’t have as much trouble with. ---

This seems really weird for the Triple M brand. Why would a hard rock station want to associate itself with fluffy country/pop? ---

And that’s about as close as Ms Swift will get to being on the metro Ms. A little surprised no one is trying to shake it off with a cover. ---

This is reminiscent of Andrew Denton’s musical challenges. Like the time he got The Screaming Jets to do a cover of My Heart Will Go On. ---

For some reason, I imagined Triple M would promote themselves as a Taylor-free zone for the duration of her tour. Looks like I was wrong. ---

You’re probably not imagining it. 2Day FM used to do the same thing with the Abby Chatfield show at 7pm. The same songs, in the same order played at 9am, were played at 7pm. ---

How ever you want to label it, they certainly wouldn’t play Taylor Swift music. ---

Triple M are also thinking about digital social media consumption with these Taylor Swift Triple M versions. These will be well received on TikTok and Instagram even amongst non-Triple M listeners. ---
