I’m in Melb and wish we could have Dave Ferrier instead. Lakey is trash B grade radio

Brisbane is still Lakey (as with all metropolitan Triple Ms).

Ferrier is on the regionals only.

Regionals are not as rock as Triple M metros nowadays - it’s more Greatest Hits again like how it was a few years ago.

Time to start fresh with Triple M Perth breakfast. Rating bad and now Jenna is gone, the show will be unbearable. Basil needs to go!

Triple M was never going to work here.

Rubbish! It can work here, but they need to programme for the market, not for the network.

Well if that’s the case it is never going to work - because that’s not what Triple M does. It’s always for the network.

Back in the 90’s, 96.1 Triple M started in 1993 with a rock format, but once Village merged with Austereo, it went to CHR and things went bad.

I like the current 92.9 format, 96FM has softened as a result and competes with both Mix 94.5 and Triple M.

How has MMM Perth been rating other than the breakfast show?

Will they chuck an SCA and ‘blow up’ the new branding and revert to its original brand in 2022?

It was discussed briefly in the latest radio survey thread.

MMM Perth had moderate ratings in the other timeslots, way behind Nova, Mix 94.5 and 96fm. In mornings, drive and evenings MMM was even behind 6PR.

Phone line issues on Triple M.

Danny Lakey had one caller who was trying to get through to Dave Ferrier’s show. A bit of chat about how the two shows co-existed in Brisbane but that Ferrier was on the regional stations. Lakey acknowledged the issues and said they would get the phone issue fixed.

I think that TripleM will succeed in the longer term. The male rock loving demographic is there and having the end to end afl coverage will be a big advantage once the WA teams are back in finals contention, something 96fm won’t have. There probably are some programming tweaks around breakfast etc but all fixable.

I somewhat agree there. 96FM’s weakness is that they’ll always be part of a Hot AC KIIS Network. They’ll never be pure rock and pure male skewed whilst airing shows like K&J and Will & Woody.

I imagine this caller was in the overlap area between Brisbane and Gold Coast as both shows would use the 1333 53 number.
Triple M Gold Coast now has it’s own number, 1300 925 666, since they ditched the separate regional number (13 27 10). This is the problem with using the same number in overlap zones.

Thanks.

Shame they couldn’t / didn’t get 1300 925 925, as 925 925 was their phone number when they first converted to FM (back when regional phone numbers were still 6 digits).

Is the 3PM Matty Shearhold show highlights of the Melbourne breakfast or is it recoded separately?

Highlights with a fresh intro.

The 666 represents MMM so it could be said 1300 925 MMM

96 have been #1 in the past without AFL coverage.
