    2. For nostalgia sake, yes, the Countdown timeslot is a good fit. But for a show of the caliber to have such prominent guests, it should have one of the most prominent primetime timeslots, including heavy promotion. It’s a different era and demographic, although just as prominent. And include repeat showings at opportune timeslots, such as before or after Rage.

  3. It’s not Countdown, that’s right. But I don’t think it seeks to be. Yes, one-hour of performance-based music content on the ABC (in a similar slot to the aforementioned and much-loved Countdown, too, I believe) but The Sound is also very contemporary, stylish and well produced. A lot of creativity in the locations they use for the different recorded ‘as live’ performance segments. I reckon they’re on to a winning program – and great for the Aussie music industry.
