Lightfoot!?)

so years that was on most of the 90's , Nick Bennett for a little bit
before him at the start of the 90's and Crud Boys after him before
Todd and Milly in 2001? My older brother says he remembers jonno and
danno too, he says he thinks that was Ian Rogerson?????? And that he
remembers the Veggies doing nights? THANX Jooles I got the mp3
airchecks! (the mulray one is a classic) Anyone got anymore old
airchecks floating around? I would love to hear some older stuff. I
came across a classic 3XY John Hood aircheck from the early 80's or
maybe even late 70's, man it sounds different to today!

Was it Peter Grace that was the first on-air at EON? Lee Simon was there in the
beginning as well - straight across from 3XY - and is till at MMM today.
Jennifer Keyte was an early EON news presenter. Gavin Wood and Molly Meldrum
did breakfast during the early 80's. John Peters ex-3XY did nights at EON/MMM
including his "Top 8 at 8".
> What were the other Triple M's called before they were Triple M?
4MMM has always been 4MMM but before identifying as "Triple M" they were "FM
104 - Rock In Stereo".
5MMM was originally 5KA (1197 AM), then 5KKA "KAFM 104.7" and then
Village/Austereo took it over and bought the 5MMM callsign from the community
station that had that name (which is now 5DDD?).
6MMM I think was 6NOW "96FM". Now it is "96FM" again on-air but i'm not sure
what the official callsign is, is it still 6MMM?

> Stubbs for sometime.
The only time I recall hearing Mulray on 3MMM was on the first day of
"Rocktober" one year when we got his breakfast show in Melbourne for the
occasion.

airchecks, promo's, ID's etc? I'd start it myself if I had enough material
to put on it.

unfortunately. However, I do have a number of airchecks of Melbourne radio
from the same era - early 1980s.
Lee Simon was a panel operator at 3AW when I worked there from 1969 to 1972.
He was known as Leo Simon then - but I think that was a shortened version of
his family name.
Lee pulled up beside me once in Commercial Road, Prahran. He was driving a
sleek sports car. I was driving a tram! But he recognised me in an instant
and we exchanged pleasantries! It would have been 1975.
Paul in Melbourne (former radio journalist, former tram driver and perhaps
soon to be former public servant!)

Somebody (whose father was quite famous as well) once told me
about those early days at EON where you used to be able to rock
in to work with your own LP's/CD's under your arm and play them,
such was the level of trust afforded the hosts then in the quest for
musical "purity" on the then new (to commercial broadcasting) FM
band.
Thank goodness consultants et al drove a stake through the heart
of that tangent of independent and asinine behaviour chop-chop
lickety split, before it infested the industry.

A sad indictment on the 'suriviors' who were experienced and trusted
as Arfur wrote to have to put up with some of the "decisions" made in
various matters these days.

9a-12p Stuart Cranney
12p-4p David Rymer
4p-7p Club Veg
7p-10p John Kennedy
Late night and dawns were shared amongst Me-Mike "Fitzy" Fitzpatrick,
Fraze The Gig Pig/Byron "john doe" Webb/Peter Armstrong/Peter "Yammo"

The Floater was Ronnie Swintek
1999 as above, but Brendon "Jonesy" Jones replaced Rymer in 12p-4p &
Late Nights was Brian "Spoonman" Carlton.
Ronnie Swintek & Leah Mcleod left, I become Floater, Todd "Famous
Todd" Campbell joined as Dawns announcer and Mitch Braund replaced
Peter Yamarelis. Peter Armstrong also left.
2000 as above, but Gig Pig left, Todd Campbell & Lisa "Milly" Millard
replaced John "Ratso" Kennedy, Byron Webb replaced me as floater,
Mitch Braund was replaced by Brett "Nozz" Nossiter and Spoonman was
replaced by Craig Weston's 'Late Net Show'.

After that I moved to 3MMM and don't know what happened.
I can tell you that the first person on air at EON FM (later Triple M)
was Peter Grace. The first song played was "New Kid In Town" by the
Eagles.
When the conversion to Triple M was made, The D-Gen were on air, at an
OB in South Melbourne and Glenn Wheatley threw the switch and the
first song played on Triple M was "New Sensation" by INXS.

In Feb was very interesting, bit of hip hop and dance hidden amongst
the classics you don't hear enough of these days on 2MMM or 3MMM. A
little new stuff that I only heard on K Rock - those songs mightnt've
set the researchers on fire, but from a listener/personal prefrence
point of view - it's great to have an another choice for rock. And
Mobbsy must be a Geelong institution by now :)

Fixed your typo Marcus..
Paul Melville Austin
(Bay-FM and K-Rock) but the Melbourne stations are allowed to cream in -
there's some injustice in there
Matthew Cook
Totally. Geelong also has a lot less stations than other cities of a similar
size.
