2CC Off Air [Sorta]

A few minutes ago 2CC (1206 AM) disappeared from the Canberra airwaves…or at least the ones in my house, can somebody else confirm this please?

During the 3PM news 2CC suddenly dropped out and went to static which makes me think the transmitter has failed…all my radios say the same thing.

Love them or hate them, any TV or radio station just “disappearing” from the airwaves is a major issue.

Edit: Never mind, they fixed it…sort of…keeps cutting out though.

Cameron, as i understand radio ratings, anyone who’s accidentally listened for 5 seconds while tuning their car stereo gets marked as a listener and flogged to gullible advertisers accordingly.

I’m not entirely sure how you go about selling an ancient and/or insane audience to advertisers, but thirty years later 2CC is still with us it seems.

How many unfortunate people listen to 2CC? I have to admit I was only vaguely aware of the existence of the station.

Master controller there must be having multiple orgasms. Tell him to concentrate on the VU meters, not to pull his wire.

Speaking of which, 2CC have had more intermittent failures throughout this afternoon. 4 times this hour so far, all of roughly 15-30 seconds duration.

ok, I’ve just posted a whole new story that you kids can all pay each other out on. Can we keep this one reserved for the original topic which was about 2CC being off the air.

Thanks and have a nice day.

Mael,
My blog is worth $1,693.62.How much is your blog worth?

Technoratie doesn’t seem to pick up TSSH so the links they provided probably aren’t calculated

I declare whichever site gets the most hits, to be the winner.
Or do I mean shits?

How much is your website worth now ?

Absent Diane1:33 pm 11 Nov 05

Agreed!!!

Be thankful for the publicity SGS.

Absent Diane12:25 pm 11 Nov 05

Hey SGS you made it on to the need to be glassed website as well..doing well

Awww. Poor Aunty Caz. She’s not a loony! She just doesn’t like you Samuel.

Good lord – what a palaver.

(I’d just like to take this opportunity to pay out on your skivvy Sam 🙂

Samuel Gordon-Stewart10:59 am 11 Nov 05

Let me thank you all for your comments, even if they were against me…excluding Caz…I’m not thanking her.

STW, it actually started with someone on spinstartshere posting a link to my “boring” blog a few weeks ago.

Cameron, good coincidence…

Indi, Kane has left the station, it has been officially confirmed.

I guess the fact is that all of the material that spinstartshere used is actually from the SGS blog. I just don’t think there’s a need for them to collectively take the piss to such an extent. Hey, I might agree with some or all of what they said (and I might not) but I don’t see reason to plaster it all over the web.

Over on spinstartshere some of the posts discuss the possibility that SGS has some sort of mental condition – maybe he does, maybe he doesn’t – but the fact that they continue to take the piss after realising this possibility is all the more disturbing.

SGS might need to get a life beyond 2CC and his blog, but spinstartshere should lay off.

back to 2CC – is there any truth to a rumour that Kaine Bond is ‘departing’ the station?

Spot the wog10:29 am 11 Nov 05

and after much investigation I deem SGS to have no life other than his blog, 2CC, and other useless crap which no other person with half the wit of everyone else would deem interesting.

If this is the way the youth is going right now, I have serious concernes for the future of this country.

Spot the wog10:24 am 11 Nov 05

mmmm if we see what had started with a report on 2CC to an argument between SGS and Caz

LOL good pick up Cameron. Very spooky!

First time to visit http://www.spinstartshere.com. What a mean-spirited webpage. A form of on-line bastardisation! Who ever is behind the page should be very proud of themselves, very child like. BTW, who is responsible for it and what’s their problem????

Slinky the Shocker10:01 am 11 Nov 05

Jeezaz f&$k…get a life everyone. Although I usually disagree with 99.9% of Sam’s posts on here, I find it funny how the self proclaimed ‘big kids’ are all of a sudden hacking on an 18 year old oddball. Get a life and hack on more annoying and more significant people. Ruddock, Stanhope, Bernard Fanning, NRL players, Rove, cigarette smokers and health freaks or cyclists and car-nuts make a f%$k lot more interesting and significant targets.

Did anyone else find it funny that Samuel’s last post here was at 12:06am? As in, the frequency for 2CC is 1206 AM? Well… it made me laugh 😀

thewinchester2:13 am 11 Nov 05

Samuel, if you didn’t want to debate the issue… why for the love of small furry animals do you keep posting and replying?

Obviously you’re off your medication, so go get those little pills your psychatrist prescribed you before the men in white coats come around to collect you and take you back to the asylum you got let out of only last week.

Samuel Gordon-Stewart12:06 am 11 Nov 05

You do come across that way though. And no, I don’t cut myself (I did accidentally staple myself when working on a 2CC poster once though).

No, actually, I’m not an attention seeker…I put the post up to air my thoughts without commenting on your site actually…but thanks for asking.

Fair enough, reaction warranted from a loony.

I never said I hated you, sweetie. Don’t be so down on yourself. Do you cut yourself Sammy? You can tell me.

I thought you wanted the attention. That’s why you put the post up about us, right? When you prod a “loony”, what sort of reaction did you expect?

Samuel Gordon-Stewart11:53 pm 10 Nov 05

No, you’re free to respond…not my position to stop you anyway…I’m just saying that I don’t think this is an appropriate place for a personal debate…but you know Johnboy better than I do…so I guess you would know.

I am interested though…is there any particular reason why you seem to hate me…was it the “evil pompous loony woman” comment? Surely running a defamatory website you would be used to people calling you names…

1. Oh so it’s okay for you to use this thread to threaten to sue me, but I’m not allowed to respond?

2. What logic don’t I understand? I’m very comfortable in my employment and will continue to remain so, thanks all the same kid.

and I don’t mind it showing up in Google searches for my name in the coming weeks, it’ll just show future employers how much better off they would be with me and not one of your readers.

Hey Goat Boy, weren’t you looking for some casuals recently? You’ve seen Sam’s artwork, you know you need to employ him.

Samuel Gordon-Stewart11:43 pm 10 Nov 05

No, I don’t want to debate you for two reasons:

1. This is “Johnboy’s site” in your words, and it is hardly the place for us to get stuck into each other.

2. You are one of those people who is impossible to debate because you don’t understand logic…I don’t know how anybody in their right mind could employ you…I hope you stay in organisations with less than 100 employees…

If you want a debate, email me, I’ll talk with you by email if you want…I’ve already said I’m not coming back to your site, and I’m sticking by it…and I’ll be stopping your readers from commenting on my site shortly as I’m getting sick of them.

Your review of me and my website is funny in a twisted way…and I don’t mind it showing up in Google searches for my name in the coming weeks, it’ll just show future employers how much better off they would be with me and not one of your readers.

Thanks for the fun, it’s amused me all afternoon.

I’m with Caz. Sure, you got held up to ridicule, but firstly you were gagging for it and secondly what jury could put a price on the damage to the reputation on an internet loon?

I’m not interested in a debate with you

That is because you aren’t capable of debating, Sammy. You tried to play with the big kids, but you weren’t cut out for it. Poor you.

and I probably won’t sue, but if I do, don’t be surprised.

And I reiterate, send the writ on over. I’m not exactly shitting my pants here because I know you’re full of crap.

ohn B1_B5 (aka Canberra_Unsung_hero) was right about you!

And his opinion is highly regarded by so many people. You two make a cute couple, by the way. Have you come out to your parents yet?

*Hugs*

Caz.

Samuel Gordon-Stewart11:24 pm 10 Nov 05

I have no problem with what I’ve put on the internet, but you (and your commenters) have taken an awful lot of it out of context and twisted my words.

I’m not interested in a debate with you…and I probably won’t sue, but if I do, don’t be surprised. You’re a strange one alright Caz…John B1_B5 (aka Canberra_Unsung_hero) was right about you!

Anyway, thankyou for taking my visitor and page view counters to the highest monthly numbers ever!

Sam, fortunately I know more about defamation than you do. Send your writ on over, kid. I’ll slap one right back on you.

Nothing that was posted on TSSH wasn’t available on the internet. If you don’t want people to find out things about you, don’t post them.

Slinky the Shocker10:54 pm 10 Nov 05

>…, but I find it surprisingly twisted and amusing that they could get so worked up about me.

He he he…I agree…They must somehow feel threatened. 😉 Schapelle Corby, Australian Idol and now Sam on the hit list of TSSH. That’s quite an achievement!

ah bless the incompetence of Telstra

Ah, gotchya. Oh well, good luck with it all – let’s hope it doesn’t turn into some sort of absurd flame war.

Samuel Gordon-Stewart7:22 pm 10 Nov 05

Slightly incorrect address in phone book probably…tried to get it corrected in the past although the white pages wouldn’t hear of it. Now I’m glad it’s wrong.

Yeah, I was wondering about that map. That’d be kinda worrying. How did they even get close to getting your residential address?

yeah
ok
that’s good, at least

Samuel Gordon-Stewart6:49 pm 10 Nov 05

Residential Address. They put together a map which apparently shows where I live…they got it wrong, although they did get the right suburb.

what address?

Samuel Gordon-Stewart6:31 pm 10 Nov 05

They got the address wrong…if they got it right I would have been on the phone to a lawyer right away.

Samuel Gordon-Stewart6:30 pm 10 Nov 05

Yes, well I am gathering opinions on it before deciding whether I need to take action or not. The fact that their last go at me is already on Page 2 of a google search for my name is a mild worry…especially when future employers could easily google me…but I think they are nuts anyway so I don’t care all that much.

They certainly don’t seem to be holding back any. They say any publicity is good publicity, but I must admit I would be less than enthusiastic about having that sort of thing on the web in reference to me – even if it was sending hits to my blog.

Samuel Gordon-Stewart5:14 pm 10 Nov 05

995 page views and counting (and that’s only the people with a browser supporting javascript). To put that in perspective, that is almost more than the total for the rest of this month.

true
and gets ur blog heaps of hits too!

Samuel Gordon-Stewart5:08 pm 10 Nov 05

I most certainly have. I’m sure it is defamation, but I find it surprisingly twisted and amusing that they could get so worked up about me.

I’m sure that’s breaking some form of defamation laws

Sam,
have you seen yourself featuring on http://www.spinstartshere.com/
you probably have
trying to scrawl through the comments to see if you have

It was John Howard’s fault. Something to do with the workplace relations reforms and anti-terrorism laws.

Samuel Gordon-Stewart3:56 pm 10 Nov 05

When I originally posted that I was suspecting a problem which could leave them off air for hours.

The frequency was provided so that people could check if it was just me or 2CC really was off air…which for some people here, not including me, would induce parties in the street.

“In the interest of good taste, this station has been permanently removed from the airwaves.”

At least I now know where to find it….1206 AM heh?

Don’t get my hopes up like that, Samuel. The first part of your opening sentence is a real tease.

Samuel Gordon-Stewart3:32 pm 10 Nov 05

They were off air for 15 minutes and have acknowledged it…an interesting “oops”.
