Nine drops Macquarie Media branding for radio assets
Nine’s newly acquired radio assets will no longer fall under the Macquarie Media banner, with the media business announcing the stations will operate under their own call signs (3AW, 2GB, 4BC and 6PR) and news bulletins will be branded as 9News.
The wider radio division will be referred to as Nine Radio.
Nine’s new radio assets will now operate under the Nine Radio brand
but what about Macquarie Sports Radio?
I reckon the sports radio concept is on a short leash. Wait for a new format. Nine is all about profit and sports is a drain on $$$.
More Likely that MSR will Dissappear and Nine will sell the AM Frequenices 882 & 954 to Crocmedia (Owners of 1116 SEN) and 1278 to EON Broadcasting (Owners of 2CH 1170), Nine also got NTS they can use for AFL, NRL, Cricket and Soccer Broadcasts.
MORE LISTENERS FOR 3AW MELBOURNE, 2GB SYDNEY, 4BC BRISBANE & 6PR . NINE WILL OFFER THE NRL EXCLUSIVE RADIO RIGHGTS FOR NRL TO 2GB SYDNEY & 4BC BRISBAND NINE TO THE AFL EXCLUSIVE AFL RADIO RIGHTS IN MELBOURNE & PERTH TO 3AW & 6PR FROM TRIPLEM, CROCMEDIA & THE ABC NNE WILL OFFER TENNIS AUSTRALIA A DEAL FOR EXCLUSIVE RADIO RIGHTS DEAL FOR THE AUSTRALIAN OPEN TENNIS FOR NINE RADIO FROM SEN FOR 2021 AND BEYOND THE NINE RADIO WILL BUY FIVEAA IN ADELAIDE & 2CC IN CAMBERRA TEAMING THEM UP WITH NINE IN ADEALIDE AND CANBERRA.
What will happen to Macquarie Sports Radio if the main radio stations 3AW,2GB,4BC and 6PR gets the gig with all these sports?
Probably Nine should use NTS for Cricket and EPL plus AFL (Sydney & Brisbane) and NRL (Melbourne & Perth) and WWOS Daily.
Jason. Press the ‘Caps’ just the once please.

Instead of the news reader on the radio saying “Nine news at 8” well it does sound a bit odd or confusing.
Why we just have the news theme and on top of that comes the intro “This is nine news with the name of the news reader and then he/she comes on say what temperature it is at the moment plus the time and then the news reader gets on with news bulletin in what City, Town or state he or she is reading from.
Now that Nine Entertainment has taken over the radio stations 3AW,2GB,4BC and 6PR. Why not get rid of the am band and transfer to FM as well as having DAB+.
This would result in clear listening as also when DAB+ dies away because their isn’t enough signal then the listeners can switch to FM instead of a rusty AM sound as the FM signal does travel to most regional towns in Victoria plus most of the radio stations that 3AW broadcast to are mostly FM anyway.
Also, could you ask the communications minister to improve the DAB+ signal as it does die off in the mountains or in flat areas in Melbourne.
Eventually they will changed the logos to the Nine dots and radio name eg 9 3AW. You can see it coming…..
