Didn’t think DDA was still around.

I have noticed this in a few regional areas, where the incumbent’s site wasn’t used ie. WiN didn’t put their TX on the existing Prime or ABC tower in Bathurst.

Willans Hill in Wagga Wagga is another where Capital (SCA 10) had their own tower, a legacy Prime area.

Fair to say BTV6 was a highly profitable station in the 80s.

Not GMV6 Shepparton?

They were known as The Six Network across BTV and GMV, so the chopper might have been shared between the two?

Yes, it was GMV-6 in this instance. Deakin reserve is in Shepparton.

That’s right, they had common ownership which also included 3MP and some regional radio stations. This is from Lost Shepparton on facebook showing the same chopper sporting 3MP livery. I remember seeing this version as a kid in Melbourne not having any idea what the 6 logo was about.
