Along with the return of ‘Rock Variety’ format, I was relieved to see the Rubber Room back into the normal 104.5 Triple M schedule last Monday (February 8) along with Cold 30 countdowns as per the late 2015 schedule.

Some excellent Cold 30 countdowns from 1984, 1985 & 1989 broadcast last week from 10pm - midnight. I also would love to see the return of the early 1990s & late 1970s Cold 30 countdowns. An example playlist (May 1992) from Adelaide (presumably prior to the ‘Classic Rock’ format being adopted):

Argh. Why fix what’s not broken?

This is probably the best place to post the following.

Mix 94.5 in Perth will have its own live & local AFL call team throughout the 2016 season, covering all the Eagles & Dockers’ home & away matches. The team will consist of Adrian Barich, Andrew Embley, Lachy Reid & Tania Armstrong.

Its coverage will also heard across WA on SCA’s RadioWest network, Redwave Media (Spirit/Red FM) & West Coast Radio (6MM Mandurah).

Will Mix 94.5’s coverage of Eagles and Dockers’ home games be heard on Triple M Melbourne, if they host a Victorian team, and Triple M is allocated those matches each week?

That’s how the Triple M website is promoting this.

Because they want you to go and stream their AFL call via the AFL website, not listen to their music loop.

Triple M Brisbane had the Cold 30 on tonight. What NRL games does Triple M have the rights to call?

38

MMM Sydney were calling a Swans game last night (I was hoping their rights for this would have expired by now. Certainly hope they haven’t renewed it!)

I THiNK they do 4 games a week - Thursday night, Saturday afternoon, Sunday afternoon and Monday nights. Not sure what happens when there is a clash with a Swans game, if they can pick up another game in a timeslot they don’t normally call, or if they just forego it.

39

Triple M Brisbane didn’t call any NRL games yesterday

40

The AFL radio rights expire at the end of this season. There’s no doubt Triple M will renew them when the opportunity arises (important for them in Melbourne & Adelaide) but probably make a provision to give them more leeway in NSW & QLD so the NRL takes preference over AFL if there’s a clash between the two.

If there’s a clash with a Swans game, they call the game but only for Triple M Brisbane and regional networks - providing MMM Brisbane isn’t also airing a Lions game.

42

If Triple M really wants to be the “home” of the NRL as per their tagline, then they have no choice but to ensure they renew AFL rights for Melb and Adel ONLY.
