Triple M Feelgood Throwbacks.
Well Iâve lost count how many times they have changed the regional stations playlist over the last few months, some stations started of with classic hits, then greatest hits, then a younger version of greatest hits, now rocks greatest hits, itâs hard to keep up!
Yet Iâm still not over the axing of Modern Digital, it was better than whatever Garbage the Mâs came out.
Yes they are not giving their digital stations much time to grow an audience.
Youâre quite right. Triple M have chopped and changed their DAB stations too much. Remember the fiasco of axing Classic Rock, then bringing it back. Probably the dumbest thing thatâs been done on DAB to date.
Agreed. Triple Mâs digital offerings have gone to crap.
One that I do like listening to (and purely musical choice) is Triple M country. Little bit repetitive with the new music but thatâs no different to the Hit model. Each night at 5 they play a top 20 countdown. Wish they would add a few announcers.
On the DAB front:
No the dumbest thing was axing Novanation and KoffeeâŚ
Yep! Normally at work the mâs greatest hit channel would be on all day, no one would change it, it was great for background music. The last two days, it has been changed more times than ever before.
It is , soft rock channel with the âlove godâ of whatever its called sounds like a soft porn channel instead. Ffs the mâs always changing things that donât need to be changed.
In their defence, they would be doing market research. In the age of Spotify and YouTube they must be trying to find those niche music formats that those actually listening to DAB want.
Probably why MMM Modern Digital didnât last. That particular audience doesnât listen to DAB/FM/Radio anymore
It is mentioned in the RDS thread about the old Triple M localised website URLs.
Can anyone remember which markets had which URLs?
Which market had triplem.com.au and who had mmm.com.au?
I can recall how confusing it was back then. The majority of listeners wouldâve just typed triplem.com.au.
Wayyyyy back in the day, I remember that the now 96fm was something like triplem.ii.net
Yeah I remember that! Not sure if it was some iinet advertising thing, or they couldnât be bothered/too cheap to use a proper domain.
Triple M Sydney used mrock.com.au for a while (https://web.archive.org/web/20030212122028/http://www.mrock.com.au/index.php)
mmm.com.au, mrock.com.au are actually still registered to Austereo, and mmm redirects to triplem.com.au
I remember ROX FM Port Macquarie having a convoluted URL in the late 90s before domain names became such a thing.
It was something like midcoast.com.au/users/roxfm
It wasnât promoted on air, was pretty basic looking (but par for the course back then) with program and presenter info and not much else.
Yeah the four sites were âmrockâ for Sydney, âTriplemrocksâ for Brisbane, âmytriplemâ for Adelaide and âmmmelbâ for Melbourne.
The main Triple M site used to just link to all of them, up until they were able to make it remember your city.
I seem to remember Brisbane being fm104.com.au ?
Must have been before 1997 as that URL does indeed work on archive.org, but it comes up with a 404 not found when loading from a 1997 capture. There are no captures before then.
I did have success loading a Rox FM page from 1999, but no images can be loaded. That domain is now used by the Roxby Downs community radio station Rox FM.
Without getting my head bitten off haha - am I the only one kind of enjoying the 90s station? Some songs you wouldnât hear on the normal MMM and from what Iâve heard I think itâs a pretty good mix!
