Wellington, which is understandable in that they have a wide coverage across Southern Tasmania. Heart, as I understand it, is more of a Jack station, playing mainly rock-skewed music from the 60s to today.ħHO seems to feel more like a true Hobart radio station than Heart.ĩ36 ABC Hobart broadcasts at only 10kW ERP, which is quite low compared to 702/576's 50kW ERP (which is strong enough for ABC's 1431AM frequency in Wollongong to change from Radio National to NewsRadio - see "Wollongong Radio" thread for more).Īs for Classic FM, JJJ & SBS, they broadcast on FM from the top of Mt. Looking at 7HO's hourly playlists that were posted elsewhere in this forum, it sort of like a 'Hot AC' station playing a mix of music from the 80s to today with an occasional 70s track thrown in. Anyone listen to it before? Edited Maby mgaleanoħHO is owned by Grant Broadcasters, while Heart is owned by Macquarie Regional Radioworks, so they compete with one another.

Even played some African music! It was great. It just played a great variety of music from 60s today. My favourite station in Tasmania was a community one (Star FM) in St Helens and St Marys. I could listen to newsradio almost everywhere.ħSD 540 am proved a best mix jingle on AM is a different format than FM stations with the similar a jingle, AM stations do play an older mix. I was impressed by the coverage of the ABC FM reception over north Eastern tassie. That might be the lowest commercial freq (high power ) in Australia. Only one commercial station ? Why? How can places like Goulborn/ Lithgow get 2 commercial channel? LA FM did play a wide mix of music! 89.3 FM. The power from 936 AM could not match 702 AM/ 576 AM coverage. I was thinking it might be worthwhile to convert the AM services to FM. I found that ABC local radio 938 am coverage was a bit poor in the southport area. Despite this ,I was surprised how similar they were to one another.

Played some modern music, found it played more unusual oldies than on Heart. Hobarts Heart FM 107.3 and 101.7 FM 7HO were very similar in format. I was only in Tassie a short time so could not listen all of the time! “This morning we had some very cold temperatures across eastern Australia,” How said on Thursday.Went on a tour of Tasmania the last week. Strong winds are expected to pick up on Saturday afternoon and peak on Sunday morning combining with low temperatures to create extremely chilly conditions. The weekend cold will not be limited to Tasmania with sub-zero temperatures expected across parts of regional Victoria, New South Wales and the ACT. Perisher opened earlier than expected this year after 30cm of snow fell within 24 hours at the end of May. “Although the storm has lessened, the temperatures are staying quite cool so we’ll be making snow at every possible opportunity to continue building a solid base for the season,” they said.

Snow falls have been welcomed in the Australian Alps where resort staff are preparing to usher in the winter season.Ī Perisher spokesperson said the resort had received more than 160cm of fresh snow and expected 15cm more before the weekend and another 15cm over the extended break.

“For those heading to the ski resorts, you’ll see some blue skies on Monday and especially Tuesday.” “The good news is that after this really long run of cold days, it will start to clear up from Sunday,” he said. How said conditions could be severe and people travelling to the Dark Mofo festival should be prepared and heed the BoM’s weather warnings. “It’s going to be incredibly cold across Tasmania as the coldest air moves through on Saturday afternoon and will see the snow level for southern Tasmania down to about 100 metres and possibly even sea level.”
