Back in the 80s when 3MP was based at Frankston they did their own news, they had a newsroom, even had their own helicopter for reporters to chase stories! Their news was relayed to 3SR Shepparton and 3UL Warragul (as both were co-owned with 3MP at the time as part of Associated Broadcasting Services). The budget would be huge. Something you don’t see today when radio stations/networks are cutting to the bone.
