The once proud and iconic Triple M is in deep trouble in the town where it was born, Sydney. And doing only marginally better in Melbourne. Born in 1980, it has hit its lowest ratings – 4.9 in the most recent Nielsen survey – since it clawed its way to market dominance throughout the late ‘80’s and ‘90’s, propelled by talent that included Andrew Denton, Doug Mulray and Club Veg. What’s gone wrong? And how can it be fixed?
No doubt Guy Dobson and his team are working feverishly on a fix. Yet with all his expertise and the great programming talent he has at his disposal, he would still benefit from the advice of our readers.
So go for it. Here’s your chance to tell Dobbo where he went wrong and how he could turn the original Australian FM station around.
