Triple M couldn’t have broadcast that game - 2GB are the rights holders for Saturday night NRL matches…

Thanks @nzwarrior51, I realise Dobbin has a farming background, I simply don’t see the point on a sports show. He didn’t use it when he was on a drive show for two yeas and same for his sports news coverage when he began on Nine or Triple M.
Broncos and Bulldogs match was listed as being on Brisbane’s Triple M on a Saturday night.

Think Triple M can broadcast Broncos games in Brisbane regardless of when they play

They signed the AFL one before the NRL one so I guess they couldn’t really change that. Plus I reckon these deals are signed in Melbourne. They should fix it regardless but 7:30 Saturday night is a 2GB slot.

We missed the anniversary. Triple M celebrated its 40th birthday on Saturday, July 11.

Actually, the Melbourne station started off as EON FM before becoming Triple M in 1988. The original Triple M started off in Sydney on August 1, 1980, which its 40th birthday is still yet to come.

They’rell be confusion with IheartRadio’s 90’s Station on Digital.

Looks like they changed their mind and realized there is already a 90’s station on dab since they removed that page
Do we need an IheartRadio/KIIS 90’S and a Triple M 90s on DAB?

KIIS 90s is poppier, I’d assume Triple M’s 90s station will be rock-based.

Will it be known as Mix90s in Perth?
If so, good thing it is now iHeart90s.

Not sure if Mix/Triple M have any other stations on DAB in Perth eg. Classic or Soft Rock, but if so, I imagine it will follow the same branding as those.

Yes, Perth does have Triple M-branded DAB+ stations, which are Classic Rock, Soft Rock & Country.

There suddenly seems to be an obsession with the 90s on radio. I’ve really noticed KIIS being heavily nostalgic about the 90s in the last few weeks with hosts doing so many intros with “remember back in the 90s when you did…”. Nova have now also been doing it lately in their own way and throwback crap.
What caused this? Did some market research company tell them they need to be targeting those listeners who react to that for advertisers to buy ads?

Probably exactly that.

Radio stations are focus grouped to within an inch of their life, so yeah.

This is why they are all sounding same, same, same, same.

Yeah, because they all want a slice of the same pie and get the same feedback from that demographic about what they want to hear.
The nostalgia thing is real amongst millennials. (not saying it’s good)
Radio lost its position as the place to find fresh hits years ago (Spotify and different release strategies played a part) and don’t real seem intent on getting it back so they lean on the nostalgia kick.

To me it seems that Triple M keeps changing their digital offering every few months.
Whether it be the AM, FM or digital stations - there are so many different sounds of Triple M that I am confused. From NRL to INXS to Ray Hadley.
“Because Your Ears Have Brains” to “Because Your Ears Are Confused”
What’s next? Triple M Light N’ Easy?
