Wollongong Radio

The problem still remains, both station sound too similar. I would love to see a music crossover report between both stations.

It’s too bad that AirCheck (who does the music crossover reports) doesn’t cover the Wollongong stations in its music monitoring.

The closest would be Lava, which you can compare a complete day’s playlist of both stations, side by side. On a side note, 94.9 Power FM’s playlist can now be seen on Lava as of this week.

i98’s music can be all over the place at time’s going from Pnau or Miley, to AC/DC or Chisel. Wave’s playlist is not quite as extreme, they do play more AC then i98.

I tend to agree on this. Wave FM is slightly more ‘adult-friendly’ than i98FM.

If Power fm had a better signal into Wollongong and was more Wollongong centric they could be a very good alternative to i98 / Wave.

They certainly would. Given that it doesn’t transmit into Sydney very well anymore, listening to Power FM whilst in the Illawarra would now be considered a breath of fresh air, as it’s a station that you wouldn’t usually get at home very well.
