Testing for the City of Melbourne's New Years Eve station on 99.7 has started

Expect Nova 100's Jase and Lauren to make a pre recorded appearance, counting down to the new year with random Melbourne news clips during the 90 seconds

And we just happen to catch it (Apologies for the low light)

All we want for Christmas is more AM to FM conversions next year

What would you like for next year?

Just checked the Facebook comments to see how our friends in Sydney are doing with the news of The Christian O'Connell Show being syndicated live on "Gold 101.7" up there

It's been 4 months since the news broke, and let's just say, I think they've handled it in their own unique way

Here's todays "Oops, I made a mistake" promotion

Not only is there a spelling mistake, but the day of the broadcast is missing 🤦‍♂️

Welcome to Ashes Day one for all cricket fans

On radio, this series can be heard on ABC Local Radio plus ABC Sport on Digital Radio, SEN and Triple M

More often than not, the regional Triple M's seem to not join the coverage until Boxing Day, this has been their pattern in recent years, but we'd like to think they'd actually join at the first match of the series this time around, because it's the Ashes afterall

But hey, if you happen to be within listening range of Shepparton's SEN on 1260 AM, that's another alternative, they are guaranteed to take the whole series, just like the ABC

Radio National 621
3AW 693
ABC Melbourne 774
RSN 927
SEN 1116
3RPH 1179
SBS 1224 and 93.1
Magic 1278
3MP 1377
SEN Track 1593

Southern FM 88.3

Gold 104.3
Triple M 105.1
ABC Classic FM 105.9
PBS 106.7
Triple J 107.5

Those not listed were either not observing or weren't in signal range. By the time we observed the Geelong signals, they were playing usual content, we assumed K Rock and Bay FM did, but both Pulse and 96.3 sounded like normal

Triple R had a presenter who kept talking, and talking, and talking
SYN had a music track on that we're not familiar with, but sounded like a Garage band

At the time we observed Southern FM taking the minute silence, Plenty Valley FM were playing adverts

Kiss FM - The narrowcaster that plays Dance music, was airing promos

3KND, 3XY and 3CR didn't seem to be taking it unless it was late, sounded like normal programming

AM:
3AW 693
ABC Melbourne 774
RSN 927
SEN 1116
SEN Track 1593

FM:
KIIS 101.1

No Geelong stations were observed taking the race, and the big FM commercial stations, plus AM commercial stations, were all too busy with news at the top of the hour plus going back to music

This is a really small list now, looking back at how it used to be on the Melbourne radio bands
