In an unprecedented move, the Sunshine Coast’s Hot 91 have dumped some of Australia’s most iconic acts from their playlist – at least til the end of the week.

Specifically, next Sunday around tea time.

Why?

Because, this weekend, the Sunshine Coast Lightning (pictured) are playing for their second Suncorp Super Netball title in Perth and as the official radio sponsor, Hot 91 is in full support.

“Effective immediately and until after the game on Sunday afternoon, we will be removing ALL Perth acts from our station,” says Program Director Ronnie Stanton. 
 
“That includes INXS, Baby Animals, Jebediah, Cassie Davis, Birds of Tokyo, Eurogliders, Eskimo Joe and John Butler Trio, (they’re from Fremantle but that’s too close for our liking).
 
“Hot 91 is right behind our local Super Netball League team and have fingers crossed that lightning CAN strike twice. 
 
“For the record, we don’t hate Perth, we just can’t be friends right now,” Ronnie added.
