Triple M network set to expand to Perth via digital radio.

Triple M, the network marketed as the home of real rock music and broadcaster of Australia’s biggest sporting events, will go live across Perth for the very first time on digital radio from September 2nd.

With a strong heritage of playing the best rock music over the past 33 years, Triple M will play the usual list of real rock music and in addition, Perth listeners will get access Triple M’s exclusive AFL calling rights.

Linda Wayman, General Manager of Southern Cross Austereo (SCA) Perth said: “We’re thrilled to now be able to offer the people of Perth access to what is one of Australia’s most iconic stations ever. It’s a very exciting addition to SCA’s radio portfolio.”

SCA has an ever growing portfolio of successful digital offerings broadcast around Australia. With over 1.3 million digital radios sold around the country to date, broadcasting an ever growing number of stations to 1.6 million Aussies each week, digital radio is revolutionising media entertainment, making it the ideal platform to extend Triple M’s reach around Australia.

Jaime Chaux, Digital Radio Content Director, Southern Cross Austereo said: “SCA has invested in digital radio to build a great portfolio of new stations and new sounds for audiences. Our next step of bringing Triple M to Perth gives the city a real music alternative and Australia’s best AFL coverage.”

Perth listeners can tune into Triple M when it becomes available on digital radio and online at www.triplem.com.au from September 2nd, 2013.
