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:)

[edit] 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)

[edit] 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)
