After Nine Radio recently revived the 2UE, Magic 1278 and 4BH brands, AirCheck Australia has analysed the playlist crossovers in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.
In Sydney, 2UE and WSFM shared the greatest crossover, sharing almost a third of their playlists, though 2UE played a wider range of music, spinning 142 tracks more than WSFM.
The most played track across the two stations was ‘And We Danced’ by The Hooters, earning 46 spins.
2UE dropped its Macquarie Sports Radio format at the beginning of this week and is transitioning to a new music format through a 'soft launch,' as explained to radioinfo a couple of weeks ago.
radioinfo readers who have been listening to the station report that this first week has not been smooth. As the station dropped its live announcers and switched to automation it has been beset with technical glitches.
Nine has announced a move to a music format playing the best of the 70s, 80s and 90s across its stations in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, along with digital radio in Perth, killing off the Macquarie Sports Radio brand.
Ray Hadley celebrated his 4,000th show at 2GB today, using the milestone to thank all the staff who have worked for him across the years and to replay some of his favourite highlights.
