They even do a custom intro and edit it slightly different for Melbourne where it is promoted more as a “catch-up” or “in case you missed it this morning” type show.

Legendary Aussie Test Captain Mark Taylor AO and Lord Ian Botham , arguably English cricket’s greatest with bat and ball, will preside over Triple M’s ‘Summer of Cricket’ when the first Ashes test commences in Brisbane at the Gabba on Wednesday 8 December.
Triple M’s all-star commentary team will be led by James Brayshaw and Australia’s #1 sports podcaster, Mark ‘Howie’ Howard, alongside former Ashes greats Greg Blewett, Brad Haddin and Merv Hughes . Triple M also introduces former international cricketer Isabelle Westbury to the commentary team, bringing her formidable credentials as the former captain of Middlesex and a highly respected cricket journalist.
Cricket makes its stunning return to Triple M after the network signed a long-term partnership with Cricket Australia, including covering the 2021-22 men’s Vodafone Ashes and Dettol One-Day International matches - heard via its FM stations in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth.
In an Australian first, LiSTNR will also be streaming the matches Australia-wide. Along with the FM broadcast in the capital cities, cricket fans will be able to download the LiSTNR app and hear the call wherever they play, work and holiday right across Australia.

will Triple M Cricket be heard on their regional stations (including Hobart)?

Do you really need ABC Local Radio and Triple M in a 2 commercial station market playing the cricket for 5 days of a test?

At least the option is there to stream it, just because someone is regionally based doesn’t mean that they shouldn’t be able to access alternate coverage.

That’s a bit like saying regional areas should have the same terrestrial radio choice as metros. We all know that’s not feasible.

I’m not suggesting that at all, the ability to access these services via alternate means (streaming) exist.
Previously accessing alternate coverage to the ABC’s cricket coverage has been incredibly difficult

I have heard cricket promo’s on Triple M Hobart, but can’t recall if it was on FM or via the MMM’s app.

You’d think the same ad would have been on FM as well, assuming you were listening to the Hobart stream

I could be wrong, but I think the ads on the listner stream/App are different to FM, maybe even customised to the user.

Good thinking, I have heard that done on American radio streams.

You’d be right - sometimes when I listen to an SCA live stream in Perth, it would pay a second of an ad, and all of a sudden it goes to a different ad

As a radio buff, I don’t like that - I’d much rather hear the original feed as it goes to air in that market.

ARN also does this on iHeartRadio, for example I live in Melbourne, and I listen to Cruise 1323’s live stream, during the ad breaks they had Melbourne-specific ads, obviously these ads are inserted in my live stream because of my location, I can’t imagine Adelaidians to test drive a car from Mornington Mercedes Benz or enrol their daughters at Mentone Girls’ Grammar School.
