Did they launch with something similar?
Edit: it was that Perth would soon have a real rock station.

In 2013, they launched a version of MMM Perth on DAB and positioned it as “Perths Real Music Alternative”. It was closed in 2014 and was replaced with Triple M Modern Rock.

I’ve had a bit of a listen this morning. Personally I quite like the new format.
I see they are not a pure rock station anymore, I heard Swedish House Mafia, Hilltop Hoods & Fatboy Slim (which I don’t mind)mixed in with rock tunes from the 90s to now.

Looking at their website, they played Ben Folds’ Rockin’ the Suburbs and now The Offspring. I really wish 2MMM would follow.

It’s certainly different. While not the same, it almost seems like an early Nova playlist. It’s all 90’s and newer. I actually quite like it to be honest.

Throwback to 96.1 Triple M or Totally Different 5MMM back in 2003/2004?

It’s very much like the “Music That Rocks” era which was (unfortunately) short lived on 2MMM.
Honey by Moby is an awesome song to include.
Well done Triple M Perth. This is a station I’d definitely listen to.

I love the new format too and I feel it should get some attention in the Perth market. It’s different to the other offerings in the Perth market, which is great. Triple M needs to really think outside the box in Perth as strategies on the east coast, often don’t work here.

Best of all, any whingers can at least switch over to 96FM.

I agree, looks like a good log. Well done to 6MMM.
If successful I’d love to see that on 2MMM and 3MMM. Especially when there is a potential audience disillusioned with triple j looking for something like this.

I am listening to Triple M 95.3 FM in country Victoria, the classic nine at nine was pretty good. The audio quality is excellent. Is it the same playlist as Triple M Central Coast?

Kudos to 92.9 Triple M Perth for having one of the ballsiest V/O guys’ in the industry!
Old school good radio making a comeback.
Sounds good even if it goes into The Weeknd.

With a bit of tweaking I’d like to see 3MMM follow Perth’s lead. No point chasing after a popular Gold 104.3 with a poor imitation playlist.
