Coma FM
Coma FM is a parody commercial radio station which is featured on the national Australian radio station Triple J. It stars Chris Taylor and Craig Reucassel from the afternoon Today Today show who have also made the television series CNNN, The Chaser Decides, the satirical newspaper The Chaser and most recently short satirical news updates Chaser News Alerts which are available with digital television, online or on 3 mobile phone.
The short excerpts from Coma FM exaggerate many aspects of commercial radio including radio hosts' nicknames, the low pitched amerincanised accent, strange noises (such as the station's callsign), forced laughter at poor jokes, an emphasis on playing new music and not repeating any tracks, segments that play the "greatest hits from the 70s, 80s and 90s", large amounts of advertising and competitions - especially those that give away "cold hard cash". Coma FM also mocks the target audience of commercial radio with the use of callers and comments on many controversial issues such as the recent Bali drug smugglings.
