some of the new stuff is cringe though
Continuing the convo from the latest Metro Ratings category re: Triple M Perth breakfastâŚ
If SCA were to launch Triple M Perth today with its current format, who would you suggest they had put at breakfast âfrom the get-goâ?
I reckon they shouldâve utilised more of the successful Mix94.5 talent. Maybe move some of the Mix talent over to Triple M?

Poach Nathan, Nat and Shaun from Nova.
Alternatively, invest in young talent from the now non-existent SCA regional pipeline

Now THAT wouldâve been big. But whatâs the bet the audience still would not have followed.
Basilâs former 6PR audience didnât seem to come across.

Totally different format⌠Kind of a bit like if Ray Hadley went from 2GB to Triple M Sydney, i think his listeners would stay with 2GB too.

A curious âTop 9 at 9â tonight on âNights With Dave Gleesonâ.
It was âThe Top Selling Vinyl Albums Of All Timeâ.
At # 8 was The Bee Gees - Saturday Night Fever. But they said âOh weâre not allowed to play the Bee Gees on Triple Mâ (even though Iâm sure their regionals do). So they played the Dee Gees (which had the late Taylor Hawkins from the Foo Fighters in it) version of âYou Should Be Dancingâ instead. Which was only slightly less disco-y than the original Bee Gees version.
But then at # 2 and # 1 respectively were Meatloaf and Michael Jackson.
And they played both âBat Out of Hellâ and âThrillerâ title tracks in full.
Neither artist normally gets much airplay on the metro Triple Ms (certainly not Michael Jackson anyway).
Seems very curious to say they wonât play the Bee Gees but then play Michael Jackson.

Meatloaf still gets played on metro Triple Mâs, mainly âYou Took The Words Right Out of my Mouthâ

With the very sad news of the passing of Mike Drayson, I wonder what Triple M Perth will do with its station imaging?
Mike gave that station (and others) an extremely ballsy sound. He will be missed.

Oh my, that is VERY sad news⌠he was pivotal to the success of 2MMM back in the late 80s/early 90s⌠he was as important to them as Kyle/Jackie O are now to the success of KIIS.

Did someone play âIâm A Punkâ on commercial radio?
It was played on Braidwood FM this morning. Very sad news.

Looks like every other song played on Mick and MG this morning was from 1982 (the year Uncle Doug joined 2MMM)
