and all the old black and green/yellow âNEWFM Rocks (Suburb)â
Fantastic stickers back in the early 90s
3CV was also known as âCentral Victoriaâs Music Leaderâ at that time. They used âSummer Goldâ earlier in the 1980s.
I used to like âMusicRadio 56, 4GYâ in the 80s
Ah yes. All those AM stereo stations in the 80s. Pity it never really caught on.
And 2KWireless - for 2KY
That slogan is so old as no one uses the word wireless now.
And 2XL Cooma was Mountain Music 2XL.
And one of the all time best. 4IP - A Nice Set of Hits.
I remember from years of Dxing Newcastle FM radio
X107 - The Beat of the 90âs
NX fm 106.9 - All Ways Great Rock N Roll
The 4IP slogan was 'A Great Set of Hits" I had the bumper sticker on my little yellow Ford Laser I had back then
You are so right Karen_Cee. Even Better.
A Great Set of Hits.
Creative, risque and explains what the station was about.
At least that incorporation of callsign and wording works. Not like those stupid product placement ones weâve had in recent years like 4B-Hyundai??!
Remember too that brief period where 3AW tried to upmarket itself with the slogan 3-AWARE âthe thinking personâs radio stationâ
âFour-bee-haych hy-un-dieâ sounded wonderful on air. Not.
Points for whomever coined 2UWii, though.
Please donât remind me of that 4B-Hyundai thing! Probably the most offensive thing Iâve ever heard in the history of radio :). You can bet I rang them up and gave them a blast!
Actually not far behind that atrocity was the U2-FM day for Triple M. URghhh!!!
Introducing the new Hyundai i98.
Looking back though, and least it was local radio in the days of 4BHyundai and decent talkback even if it was 2UWii.
Iâd love to go back to those days in Brisbane and Sydney radio⌠even when 4BC was local!
And by a similar token, the Citroen C91.3.
A few others:
2SMUSIC (not sure which years)
You:Me 4BC (late 70s)
Gâday 4BK (not sure which years)
BK1300 Soft Rock (1983)
BKMusic (1984)
4KQ The Best Country in the World (1980 - 1986)
4MMM/FM104 launch slogan "You wonât believe your ears"
6PersonalityRadio (1984)
Previous discussion on âfirst songsâ played on stations. Someone mentioned KIX106 was Kick/INXS. I believe the first song on rival FM104.7 Canberra was Guns in the Sky by INXS. A bit obscure!
I canât believe this one hasnât been mentioned yet!
Back in the Early 2000s (I think these slogans were used around the time Jones & Hadley defected?), 2UE was using the slogan âTalking Sydneyâ while 2GB used âThe Talk Of Sydneyâ.
Did one station copy the other with their slogan?
I remember 3AW had the same with âTalking Melbourneâ
