96FM CELEBRATES 40 YEARS TODAY; TUNE IN TO THE VERY FIRST BROADCAST REPLAY AT 4.00PM

40 Years ago today – August 8, 1980 – Perth radio was changed forever when 96FM began broadcasting.

 

It was Perth’s first commercial FM station and changed the way people thought about radio with cool announcers, contemporary playlist, innovative programming and spectacular promotions.

Relive (or hear for the first time) the moment it all started at 4.00pm today, when that first broadcast will be replayed.

Thanks to The Sharper Pencil’s John Ilian, who was responsible for 96FM’s ground-breaking advertising over its first couple of decades, for the graphic above.
