The Sydney Morning Herald report noted that the decision affected the Hit and Triple M networks.
A spokesperson for its parent company Southern Cross Austereo said, “Out of respect for the devastation impacting so much of our community, we have removed any songs that could be considered insensitive or in poor taste across both the Hit and Triple M networks nationally.”
Nova Entertainment and Australian Radio Network also indicated to the SMH they were monitoring which songs could be distressing.
Hit and Triple M didn’t reveal which songs had been pulled.
But a quick ring-around of music execs identified these 25 could well fit into their respective formats, even if they’re not specifically about the harmful effect of fire.
