Online
[edit]The service had a national interactive version. Listeners could choose what song to air next via finding a song in the music catalogue. The one with the most "Rocks" by users would become the next song played. The song with the most "Sucks" by users would be taken off air and not played.[3]
Programming
[edit]The playlist included the most popular Contemporary Hit Radio songs from the past decade. It was on live on stations of the Today Network from 10pm-1am from Monday-Thursday. The radio broadcast was hosted by Sarah Maree Cameron.
