like most of you I plan to eventually explore australia and while doing so I'm naturally going to want to listen to some quality radio. so what is quality radio in your neck of the woods? I can tell you in sydney radio is similar to melbourne in that they have equivalents of fox FM, nova etc etc but if your ever in sydney basically my picks are

for rock mmm 104.9
for top 40 either nova 96.9 or 104.1 2day fm
for easy listening mix 106.5
for the classics 101.7 WS fm

and for rap/hip hop rnb go for 96.1 but only if your in the western suburbs (the signal can't be picked up elsewhere)
 
It's all rubbish.

Triple M in Melbourne these days is basically the same as Gold 104, with the addition of Nickelback and James Blunt.

Less repetition, less bloody talking, less 5-minute blcoks of ads, and maybe people wouldn't can commercial radio all the time.

Problem with some of the more alternative stations is that "your" show might be on once or twice a week and the rest of it is pretty unpalatable. CDs and tapes for me at work, in the car, and home.

If you have any taste in music then you should only need one radio station. And the good news is that it's available all over Australia: JJJ. (107.5fm in Melbourne)

Very true, commercial radio blows the big one.
 
Nova and Fox are average but are twice as good as all the others. The only time I'll listen to the radio is while working from 4-6pm weekdays. Hamish and Andy arent bad at all :thumsbu:

Triple J is gay.

ummmmmm so wait let me get this right..... triple J is gay... Nova & Fox are average but somehow not bad & twice as good as anything else......:confused: :confused: i'm not exactly sure of ur definition of gay radio but i would have thought any commercial radio would be closer to gay than triple J could ever be.. musicwise at least...

for the record i am a triple J only listener.... straight 30 something male... love altrenative music (can't spell it at this time of night though) & although some of the hosts & content on Triple J annoy me.... i just cant listen to anything else because the music is lightyears ahead of anything commercial radio can ever offer me..... i mean if Paris Hilton can get a gig i'm not going near it $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ each to their own of course :o
 
Radio has gone the same way as Telly...absolute and utter toss. Shyte content, ridiculous amount of ads, pandering to the lowest common denominator. Even the last bastion of half way decent radio, JJJ, has gone to pot. It seems every time I turn on JJJ these days they're playing some crap-hop tripe, or they've got 'DJ-Douche Bag' coming on to play a doof-doof set.
Forget radio......go out and BUY albums from the awesome Aussie bands that are out there, and play THEM on your stereo, coz they sure as hell don't get played on Aussie radio. Cog, Karnivool, Butterfly Effect, Shihad etc. all can't get a look in with the wall to wall arse that gets played.
 
Whenever i listen to the radio (which isn't very often) i listen to Triple M

3D Radio in Adelaide is a great community radio station. 93.7fm.

That and triple j are the only stations that ever get played on my radio.
 
Nova basically plays whatever 'The OC' flogs on the previous night, which is usually utter crap but said to be cool. I get really frustrated these days with big blocks of ads, repetition and hosts who think they are funny!!! i.e Hughsy!!!

i rarely listen to radio, but i if i had to pick one out of necessity i'd say the fox (in melb). Good mix of oldish and new music with a couple of funny presenters.

used to be a 92.9 fan but since the emergence of hiphop and rnb which is like the only type of music these days and the fact ive gotten sick n tired of the culture and the themes the music presents(eg. if your black and can sing all women will dive on you, dealing with the wrong deal on the law is acceptable, etc.) barely listen to radio anymore except 96fm and im only 19. like my dance, house and techno but theres no radio station in perth that sticks to it so i go for the oldies of the 80's and 90's of 96fm.

groove 101.7 needs to be removed. pathetic station

tv and radio in my view has fallen. theres barely any more sitcoms or sketch shows or talk shows. all reality or crime(crimes alright but when theres SVU, Law and Order Specials Unit, CSI, CSI Miami, CSI New York, Criminal Minds, The Closer and so on and on it gets bloody boring.) BRING BACK THE NINETIES!
