AC/DC : Black Ice

Triple M, Where AC/DC News Comes Last

Triple M surely weren’t serious when they announced that they were first to break the news of the title of the AC/DC album yesterday were they' Sorry guys, you were probably closer to being last with that one.

The first place the Black Ice title was announced on radio anywhere in then world was on The Night Show with Christo on the Australian Radio Network.

Listeners to WSFM Sydney, GOLDFM Melbourne, 4KQ Brisbane and MIXFM in Adelaide were the first people in the world to hear the Black Ice title on radio.

I know that, because I broadcast it!

Every night after 10, I join Christo to talk about what is happening in Music News.

Undercover.com.au was first to publish the title Black Ice on July 2. The Night Show with Christo was the first to broadcast it.

The Night Show listeners have known the name as we have talked about it often for the last 6 weeks.

Even WaveFM in the Illawarra was quick off the mark to call Undercover. Dave Gore broadcast the Black Ice title a good month and a half before Triple M’s scoop.

Nice claim to be first with that one Triple M, but sorry, the Australian Radio Network beat you by almost two months with that news.

Join me again tonight with Christo after 7 when you will hear real breaking news first.
