My favourite show is Concept…read moreWarning, Fishin in the Morning with Fisherman Dan and I was lucky enough to be Dan's weather girl one Sunday morning a few months back! Dan has now moved to Tuesday mornings at 5:00am, and as a dedicated fan I set my alarm each Tuesday and drag myself out of bed to listen to his show - Johnny Cash, Frank Zappa and The Ramones regularly featuring (their music of course). There is something for everyone! The Zed's Poet Society mix it up on Tuesdays with early era rock, jazz & blues, grunge, heavy metal and punk. On Wednesday nights you can catch Dykes on Mykes Davina and Ruth (their show is a hoot) and on Thursdays tune into Bhudda and Ben - the Brown Couch Men, featuring loads of local muso's. Sunday mornings you can chill out with Knoxy and his Jazz session - this session is a seriously good hangover cure. The Zed's is a not for profit community run radio station and as such relies heavily on its subscribers for funding, so if you love local music and aren't currently a subscriber - you should be!

In some way, you can thank Gough Whitlam for 4zzz.

Yes! 4zzz has it's home in the very uniquely painted building on Barry Parade, Fortitude Valley. 4zzz is a non for profit community radio station that promotes local Brisbane and Australian music, and does so on little funding outside of charitable donations. One of the best things I could ever tell a Brisbane local to do is subscribe to 4zzz. You're helping community radio and local music, and they provide awesome incentives to join up. Whenever they're giving away free tickets, for some mysterious reason, your chances are high at winning what's on offer. Lets leave it at that. Triple Zed are responsible for promoting a lot of local gigs through events they hold during the year, one being Dub Day Afternoon, held at the Jubilee Hotel, just up the road. A lot of gigs going on in town have ticket discounts if you're a 4zzz supporter too. I'm not patriotic about much, but I have to say, I want to put my hand over my heart in reverence when I speak or refer to 4zzz. Tune in on 102.1 FM.

B 105 has to be one of worst out of all the other radio stations. Not to be personal or anything…read morebut Andy and Hamish are rarely funny. They're kind of like 20 year old frat boys with their pranks. Kylie and Jackie O are like getting your teeth pulled. Too many ads. I don't know why people are talking besides the ads. Like I get it that radio stations have to have ads but why do unfunny, boring, moronic Dj's have to talk the entire time and attempt at making jokes. Like shut-up already no cares except for unfunny, boring, moronic avid listeners. I would have put 2 stars because sometimes when other radio stations have ads I switch to B 105, but it's so painful I can barely stand it! This is truly a radio station for the masses.

Definitely don't recommend this over priced radio for any business ads. Wish we didn't waste our…read moremoney. Not reading the reviews beforehand has really cost us thousands in ad campaings.

Anyone who has lived in Brisbane long enough has heard the loudly whispered "Triple M!" slogan that…read morehas been around for years. And those who have lived here long enough generally acknowledge that Triple M is considered by many to be a bogan* station. OK, Triple M has arguably become less bogan over the years. They now sometimes play pop music in an attempt to draw in a bigger crowd. Despite these efforts, Triple M's crowd essentially remains the same. However, it now plays more modern rock as opposed to being stuck in foregone decades (ten years ago, Triple M was the station your Van Halen-loving Dad listened to. Nowadays, you might hear some Dandy Warhols). If you drive a ute, you probably blast Triple M. Blokes don't drive around listening to B105 or A.M. radio (FM alternatives such as Triple J and Nova are a little too alternative and pop, respectively, in nature). A quick guide to commonly-played songs on Triple M: - 3am - Matchbox 20) - Khe San (or anything by Cold Chisel) - Sweet Child of Mind (Guns 'n' Roses) - Born in the USA or Dancing in the Dark - Bruce Springsteen - Born to be Wild - Steppenwolf - Rock Lobster - B52s - Jack and Dianne - John Cougar Mellencamp - My Sharona - The Knack - Glycerine - Rush - With or Without You (and other U2) - Smells like Teen Spirit - Nirvana - Come on Eileen - Dexys Midnight Runners. You get the idea. As to the gender vibe, this is more of a male-centric station. Actually, a brief glance at Triple M's website main page describes it all without the need to click on links. There's a link to the Hottest Babes of NYE (including a competition called Fish 'N' Chicks featuring a bikini babe), a photo gallery of The 83 Funniest Beach Fails... EVER!" (featuring girls in bikinis falling over); footy tipping; live updates on the Test cricket; an interview with Van Halen; a gallery of Victoria Secret Models Undressed; Triple M's Babe of the Year; Porn Stars worth losing your job over; the Best Use of A Bikini (including a nude Lara Bingle and actresses in bikinis); and the WAG Watch Latest. At the second I looked at the website, the last song played was Poison by Alice Cooper. It's OK to like Triple M, especially if you're a blokey guy. I probably wouldn't mention a particular fondness for it in mixed company, though. *The term bogan is the Australian and New Zealand equivalent of a redneck.

Unearthed focuses on unknown Australian acts and is responsible for finding Aussie superstars such as Missy Higgins, Grinspoon and the new Perth wunderkinds San Cisco along with a host of others.

If you get bored of modern music, and have heard all the 80's / 90's classics too many times you should definitely check out Triple J.

They play a little bit of everything, from rock and hip hop to electro and alternative, but mostly alternative. Once a year, on Australia Day, the amount of people listening to Triple J increases a hundred fold when they put on their Hottest 100 songs of the year before, voted by the listeners.
