The Lava playlists for Sydney and Melbourne looked a bit different, but there were some songs that were on both betwen 6am-3pm when they are not networked.

Thatâs the same positioning Triple M Adelaide have been using for quite some time now.

Which makes Mix94.5âs positioner so confusing. Obviously 92.9 Triple M skews younger than the rest of the network, but Mix94.5 skews older than the majority of the Hit network, and they use âGood Times and Perthâs Best Varietyâ.

They discussed it a couple of weeks ago on Martyâs show, are you sure it only started today?

Tonight still sounds pretty rock heavy to me?

Dave Gleesonâs show usually is, possibly because itâs recorded 1 or 2 weeks in advance, and also possibly before the decision to change the Sydney and Melbourne formats

What type of greatest hits did Melb/ Syd/ Bris play during the day then today that made them no longer rock stations?

Hopefully the music format is not a carbon copy of WS and Gold in Sydney and Melbourne.
I wonder if they are doing this, to have the one music format across all the Triple M Network, including the regionals

The only one for me that stood out (on Lava) was âDrops Of Jupiterâ by Train on 3MMM.
Most other tracks still looked like they could have been from the Rock log (and they still played Duran Duran today and previously as well), the music was already heading in that direction anyway.

âGood Times and Greatest Hitsâ
It looks like the radio industry ran out of ideas two decades ago. I would love to work in an industry where you were paid to regurgitate old ideas. In a world where change is occurring a faster rate than any other time in human history, radio stays bunkered in a 1989 time freeze.
Thanks goodness these programmers didnât choose a career in medicine or we would never find a cure for anything.

I prefer greatest hits format over rock. But will Melb play the âpopâ type music like Ed Sherrin for example like the regionals? Hoping so

Highly doubt that⌠I donât think ADL/BNE play Ed Sheeran and theyâve been running with a version of the âGreatest Hitsâ format for a while.

The regionals do

I know, but I think SYD/MEL are much more likely to align more closely with ADL/BNE than with the regionals.

See I donât really get whatâs different here in Brisbane.
I see that Triple M is labeled greatest hits but when I switch it on during the day etc the playlist is still pretty much rock.
When I hear greatest hits I think WSFM/ Gold etc.
Thatâs not what Triple M Brisbane is.

Thereâs not much difference⌠BNE/ADL play more of the middle of the road stuff like Elton John and Fleetwood Mac, you donât hear them that much on the SYD/MEL âRockâ format. But thatâs about it.

It annoys me how SCA wonât just change the entire network to, âTriple M Rocksâ.
Even regionally, it would totally dominate.

They tried rock in the regional areas a few years ago, but I think they found it left too big a gap format wise in between that and the Hit stream and changed it back to âGreatest Hitsâ on Triple M.
