Submitted Station Logos and Stickers

I have been contacted by Andrew from TelevisionAU.com with an offer to submit some old Australian radio station logos for your viewing pleasure.

So, here are a few submissions to take you back down memory-lane. By the way, you can follow Andrew on Twitter at Twitter.com/TelevisionAU.

I’ve included the dates as provided by Andrew and added some of my own comments on some of the stations as I remember them.

Radio 2NX, Newcastle.

Newcastle, NSW station 2NX in 1993. Locals will remember they turned into ‘X13′ for a short time featuring dance music and no cold-voiceovers.

Victorian radio station 3CV

This logo from 1992 is from a radio station that I remember as always sounding most unlike a ‘country’ station. Growing up in rural Victoria, 3CV were one of the best sounding stations in that State outside of Melbourne I thought.

Radio 3MP, Melbourne

Ahhh, 3MP (Mornington Peninsula). They blasted on the scene officially to service the southern suburbs around Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula but a mix of savvy programming and a booming signal meant they were well and truly a competitive station in the Melbourne market. I remember fondly as “Bay City Radio” but this logo is from 1984.

Adelaide, South Australia radio station 102FM

When I lived in Adelaide there was the music stations 5AD and 5KA. There was 5AA doing either talk or ‘beautiful music’, and SA-FM had come onto the scene. Oh, there was a little community station called 5MMM then too! The other commercial option was 5DN which I remember as being a very good talk station. Wasn’t Jeremy Cordeaux on 5DN? Anyways, they went ‘FM’ and became 102FM. This is from 1991.

Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia radio station 8DN

Darwin’s 8DN which ceased broadcasting in 1991. This logo is from 1989.

Melbourne Radio Station 3TT

Boy was it dissapointing when 3DB ceased to be 3DB. At least to this writer. Anyhow the station that was on 1026kHz was to become 3TT and this is the station’s first logo. It’s not the one I remember though. (Not that I can picture it, but if I see it I’ll know, it if that makes sense…!)

Once again, thanks Andrew for the submissions…!
