Radio Review: FM 104.7

Oh this will be fun…a review of a station with a playlist filled with music which doesn’t come close to my tastes.

This review is of FM 104.7 from 2pm-3pm on the 27th of February.

And that’s where the hour finishes…no news in that hour, that’s a worry.

Statistics
Advertising: 10 minutes and 57 seconds
News: None!

Summary
News: None in the hour, it might have been run before 2pm and after 3pm but I wouldn’t know, and I find the lack of news disturbing. There wasn’t even anything to suggest that the station might have a news bulletin, there wasn’t even a mention of the temperature!

Talk: There wasn’t much, but the talk that was there sounded good, nowhere near as rushed as it did on Mix 106.3 [1], although it was obvious to anybody who takes notice of these things that the hour was voicetracked. The presenter was friendly and got along with the two callers quite well…not so sure that he knew much about the music though as he barely mentioned it.

Music: Not even close to my tastes, I don’t think there was a song in there that I would listen to if I had the choice, but I’m sure it was of interest to the majority of the target demographic (I’m part of it but you wouldn’t know it). I’m also concerned about the amount of references to various body parts and things you can do with them. I’ll give them one star for effort, and another for doing better than 666 ABC Canberra.

Overall: Whilst I didn’t really enjoy any of the music, I wouldn’t run away screaming…for most of the hour it was a pleasing noise which surprised me. The ad free 50 idea is interesting, but I have to wonder if it comes at the expense of the news. I wouldn’t voluntarily listen to this station if given the choice after what I heard here, but it’s not too bad.

Body parts? They are called a p#### and a v##### Samuel. They are used for things that involve love or entertainment.

You really were born a 50 yr old weren’t you Samuel? Not sure which demographic you belong to, to be honest!

Is there a demographic for boring young farts?

Don’t mind me. I’m just in an antagonistic mood 🙂

Mind you, I agree that 104.7 deserves little more than 2 stars. Their music is mostly crap and the presenters are annoying and the ads are worse.

Somehow it has the top ratings in Canberra. Shows the crap selection we have to chose from…

I try to keep a PG rating for this site Mick, which is why I didn’t call them by name.

My 8, 5 and 3 yr olds call them a p#### and a v##### Samuel.

Wake up to the real world some day.

My p#### can bring entertainment?

Maybe I could get some sort of arts grant for it.

Mick, in my opinion it is abhorrent that children of that age would be calling those things by those names. I can only hope that they don’t know about the one which is not theirs.

Bearded Clam, that seals it, this comment section is locked.

Nothing personal Bearded Clam, I can just see that this discussion isn’t going anywhere productive.
