Talk:Triple M

Hi, i redirected the page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TripleM to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_M because it had exactly the same info, but this one had more info, so it was pointless having 2, there was hardly any chnages nothing worth noting here, because the info was almost exaclty the same:)

Triple M vs U2FM

U2FM is only for one day! Luckly no-one has renamed everything on the wiki. On a personal note, I hate when MMM does these promos (like when it "changed" its music format to a Greek Radio station for about 10 mins) and then reverts back to normal...I was hoping for a permanent name change --Mikecraig 20:37, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

Was sceptical about the name change anyway. Naming themselves U2FM is so sucky. How much are they paying U2!! --Ninevah 21:23, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

Did you remember the greek radio thing..man that was annoying...In relation to U2 - does not help when MMM was one of the major sponsors of the U2 Australian tour eh? --Mikecraig 21:27, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

Vaguely! What's annoying about this rebranding is that it wasn't publicised as temporary - the ads made it out that it was a permanent change. Could be worse. They could be playing Copperhead Road 10 times a day like they used to 6 years ago! --Ninevah 04:32, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Why does the article need a blow-by-blow description of the event when a one-liner can cover it easily? On this day the station renamed itself as part of a promotion. There's nothing more in it. The whole run through there is just marketing hype, which should be avoided here. My suggestion was "On 17 November 2006, Triple M temporarily renamed themselves to U2FM for the day as part of a series of promotions for the band U2." before it was reverted. --Rob.au 15:58, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Mix 94.5

Someone needs to incorporate Mix 94.5 into this article. It is part of the Triple M network, despite not sharing the name. It has the same slogans, advertisements (Barry picks the music), promotions ("U2FM") etc. 92.9 used to be the Triple M network member in Perth, and 94.5 was Perth's Today Network station, but they swapped in 2005, I think. - Mark 06:07, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Mmm.jpg

Image:Mmm.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 00:12, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Disputed claim and added fair use rationale on image page--Mikecraig 00:22, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Frenzal Rhomb in banned section

They weren't actually banned from Austereo. In retailiation to Kyle Sandiland's threat, Triple M actually played "You are not my friend" after a segment discussing the argument between Frenzal and Jackie O. Scullser1981 05:30, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Get This Debacle

Surely the removal of the Get This program from the Triple M line up was not a debacle? Yes, some listeners may not like the decision but the use of the term debacle is POV in my opinion. Could the section be removed completely (I have tried to do so several times but have had the changes reverted by an anonymous user), as the program was taken off air some three months ago and probably does not deserve its own section anyway?

Image copyright problem with Image:Mix 945.gif

The image Image:Mix 945.gif is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

• That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for the use in this article.
• That this article is linked to from the image description page.

The following images also have this problem:

• File:3mmm logo.png
• File:Optimized image d565786f.png
• Image:Triple M104.9.png

Change In Format (Rock to Alternative/Pop)

This fails to mention that they changed formats from Rock, to a Top 40 type of Alternative/Pop/ Rock mix, which has been controversial, and has lead to slips in ratings. Please add this —Preceding unsigned comment added by Slam3 (talk • contribs) 05:43, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
