2Day FM relaunches with a 'Fresh Music' promise Sydney’s 1041 2Day FM has rebranded with a bold new format,

Interesting…2DAY 104.1 Sydney shifted from hot AC to top 40 with a focus on emerging “hits before they hit.” They sound fresh on their stream.

So many American top 40s have long ceded new music discovery to Spotify, TikTok, etc. as well as younger audiences.
