Programming
editThe station exclusively played music by AC/DC and included the band's biggest hits, album tracks, live performances and rarities.[2] Byron Cooke, the anchor of Triple M Sydney's Grill Team, was the host of the station and conducted interviews with the band, talked to people going to the concerts and talked about unknown AC/DC trivia.
Due to the "pop up" nature of the station, it was only broadcast in Australia between Wednesday, 10 February and Monday, 15 March 2010 to coincide with AC/DC's Australian Black Ice tour. After Monday, 15 March 2010, the station was reformatted to become Lady Gaga only, under the name of Radio Gaga.
Availability
editThe station was heard on DAB+ radios in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth.[3]
The station also streamed online at the Triple M website Archived 15 September 2009 at the Wayback Machine.
