Brisbane what the best Radio station for us Oldies

Just asking I have been listening to B 105 and other FM stations for a while but they don't seem to play my type of music for my age group. What i'm after is the seventies and eighties ETC. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/default/smile.gif" /> thanks George

I use to listen to MMM but i give it up as it also plays to much crap as most of the FM stations do the same. any suggestions??

The wife listen to i think 96.5 but she isn't happy as she likes a lot of the golden oldies and i think this is where most of the stations fail as they are forgetting about us old farts.

Hey Phil with your 700 Televisions stations do you get a chance to listen to any radio stations?.I bet he will have an answer`to this one.

AM/FM not satellite radio channels because` I bet you have a mile of them too.

Now this is a very interesting post. Back in the Sydney days before I moved up here 7 years ago I use to listen to 2SM but it became stale and just about that time a new Radio station came to air (local) and it was 2WS and I loved it because it played all my music from my era. Now when we moved from Sydney whilst driving over the Hawkesbury River Bridge I waved 2WS good bye and with weeks of starting our new life up here in Brisbane with plenty of work to do I pondered about trying to find a radio station that fed my needs. Now I can tell you this I pondered for 3 years going from station to station saying don't these stations up here play my type of music? Whats wrong with them?. Then one day I was flicking through the AM band and one of my all time favourites was on air "Macarthur Park' by Richard Harris. As this song reminds me of a disaster I went through (Divorce) so I decided to give this station 4BH 882 on the am dial a go. Now within hours they played another 3 or 4( forgot) of my all time favourite songs (abba etc)and from that day till today all the radio's in the house, Garage, all my 3 cars, my 25 year old transistor radio are locked on 4BH. Now as for time listening to radio well I can tell you this even when I'm on my computer I have the radio on and outside doing the gardening the Radio is with me every bit of the way. Guys give 4BH a go, you won't regret it as I know we have lots of members on this forum that are around my age group and they are also in the dark like I was. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/default/grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/default/grin.gif" /> Phil

And i'm another that listens to the radio and I don't like what i hear. to much of this new stuff hurts my ears I will give 4bh a go and see what its like. I haven't listened to a AM station for a while.

Nothing wrong with AM mate, Its sound very good in the Monaro. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/default/grin.gif" />

My Half brother listens to B105 but he likes the Beatles and the Rolling Stones and they hardly play them he tells me. do you know if 4BH is any different?

Phil debono do you work for any radio stations

I had the pleasure to meet Phil dressed very officially in Melbourne last year and we still talk about him at UNI today but what I would like to know is whose payroll he is on, (REMOVED BY PHIL, WHO YOU THINK I WORK FOR IS MY BUSINESS , KEEP ON TOPIC.) some horrible rumours getting around who he works for. Just put it this way if you shit on him you might get an official visit. Another thing don't be confused by his appearance he is a master of disguise. I like the guy he is intelligent and very good at what he does. Sorry Phil I had to say this because you get around and no he doesn't work for a radio station. [ 09.

Happy so far with 4BH

Yeh I will give it a go this Saturday and Sunday its time for a change. I was told last Weekend they had the best of the seventies, pity I missed it if it was the case. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/default/smile.gif" />

I am very happy with 4 BH radio and i mainly listen to it from 9AM to 1 PM. The Anouncer is also very good. Greg ?? he speaks with a good clear voice. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/default/grin.gif" /> Thankyou. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/default/smile.gif" />

If I'm correct Greg Victors session is from 9am to Midday <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/default/smile.gif" /> I listened to 4BH most of the day today in my garage whilst making some brackets for my 4.2m dish, plenty of welding to do. The name Greg Victor seem's to ring a bell, hummmmm <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/default/grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/default/grin.gif" />

Guys you are off topic here. Stop stirring Phil otherwise you will find yourself in the dog house.

My old Ford ute only has a AM radio in it and thats all I listen too and as Phil said there is nothing wrong with AM. You will find today most FM station play the rubbish they most of us over 45 don't want to listen too.

It would be interesting to see If 4 BH has done a survey lately to see what the age group is that listens to that station. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/default/smile.gif" />

Phil. You must have hundreds of Satellite radio channels why do you bother to listen to the local crap.

Correct!! I have lost count how many Australian Satellite radio channels I have plus from all over the world.

Most radio announcers are full of shit, they're nice on the job but make poor neighbours and generally have few friends.Who knows maybe they have big heads.

Well that covers a lot of professions these days and yes you are correct they are possibly snobs like others. Radio announcers have a job to do and they are in the public limelight but so do a lot of us. Ask Phil he knows all about this.

Well the above comes with the job. I don't know why they should be stuck up their not realy in the public eyes like others are. look at Phil he has made the front page of our local rag twice in the last 4 years about the war in Iraq. And as others know he pops up here and there in different states. Now for the Music side of things i'm happy with 4 BH. Thanks for the tip Phil.

2WS in Sydney is the go 4 me
